Neil Bush, who runs an oil company in Texas and is nine years younger than his better-known sibling, only opened his account with Sina's Weibo - China's answer to Twitter - with the help of a Chinese-speaking assistant.
But by Friday morning, 41,418 people were following his posts on subjects ranging from China's rapid development to the impending marriage of his daughter Lauren, a former model.
"I have been to China 80 times and am in awe of its
development," read one posting.
"I hope all Americans see China's development has
come a long way and can gain a better understanding
of how China is growing into a global force."...
Are Americans a global force? Are Americans
obtaining good salaries? Do Americans have
manufacturing jobs to turn to?
Yet.
The Bush brother loves China and wants the people
of the USA to love the global economic effects of
China while "W"'s party sees no reason to support
new technologies or growth where it is impacted
by the economic deterioration due to China and
outsourcing.

In case no one remembers Neal. It is an easy guess why he insists on being in China so much.

Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil.
Since then, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight area schools that took in substantial numbers of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.
"Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into the Houston schools," said Jean Becker, former President Bush's chief of staff. "She knew that HISD was using this software program, and she's very excited about this program, so she wanted to make it possible for them to expand the use of this program."
The former first lady plans to visit a Houston Independent School District campus using the Ignite program today to call on local business leaders to support schools and education….
Indeed.
