Active role in father's campaign taking George P. Bush away from day job (Busted!)
Houston Chronicle ^ | Spiked on 9/11/15; Unspiked on 9/12/15 | Brian M. Rosenthal

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has been out of the state or otherwise off of work nearly half of the time since his father entered the GOP race for president, records show, raising questions about whether the scion is fulfilling his pledge to remain focused on his first elected office.

Personal time - both related to the presidential race and for other reasons - took the commissioner away for the equivalent of 23 of the first 50 work days after father Jeb Bush announced his bid on June 15, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis of records obtained under the Public Information Act. The total includes 15 full days off and dozens of smaller chunks of time off on other work days that add up to eight more days.

It is impossible to tell exactly how much of the time off was spent campaigning, because the commissioner's official calendar does not say what he did in those hours. Social media posts indicate he spent a significant amount of it on the trail, however, speaking at his father's announcement in Florida, publicly stumping for him in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, headlining a fundraiser in Texas and attending a campaign staff retreat in Maine.

The Houston Chronicle pulled the story after it was originally posted yesterday under pressure by the Bushes, but it was just reposted today a few hours ago.

No problem. Early next year he won’t have to worry about dad’s campaign any longer.

Stating now that we do not have to consider George P. Bush for any further office.

George is to be the next bearer of the torch for the Bush dynasty according to whispers I have read.

And Clinton doesn’t get a ‘2 family member pass’. In the Clinton’s case, it’s husband/wife, and that is just as bad.

Name one nation outside of the United States that would tolerate one of their politicians saying, “The United States agenda is our agenda.”

That guy would be digging ditches in minutes...

George P. is as clueless and Jebra.

George P. Bush was 18 when he stalked his ex-girlfriend. Sounds like he still thinks he can do whatever he wants.
