Twitter is overjoyed at the language in former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's vague announcement that he is "actively exploring" a run for president.

Here's his tweet:

I am excited to announce I will actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States: https://t.co/luY4lCF2cA.— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) December 16, 2014

For Bush, that just means he's forming a leadership PAC to make money and influence people as he tiptoes toward 2016. For the rest of us, though, that means, well, pretty much everything.

Here are just a few of the many goofy tweets poking fun at Jeb Bush's announcement:
