Unfortunately yes.
The end of George W Bush's term in 2008 will mark 20 years of Clinton/Bush in the White House. If Hillary gets elected, and Jeb runs sometime in the next 8 years, it could potentially extend this another 16 years for a total of 36 years. This means there will be a whole generation of *adults* who have lived their entire lives within the Bush/Clinton dynasty. It's frightening.
Hopefully before this happens, there will be pressure to enact some sort of anti-nepotism amendment, similar to our 22nd amendment regarding presidential term limits. I think we need it already. It is not right for two families to hold so much power for so long.

Politics is usually a family affair. Look all the way back to John Adams and his son, John Quincy. We only had six presidents and already a father-son team. As for the modern day presidency, the Bush dynasty is about to mosey-off into the sunset. As I said before, it takes a Clinton to clean up a Bush's mess. Look at George H.W. Bush in 1992 with Bill Clinton and now George W. Bush with Hillary Rodham Clinton. It's a cycle for sure, but a necessary one!
