Barbara P. Bush - is she a candidate for office?

We Answered:

None of the George H.W. Bush or Barbara (Pierce) Bush -- Prez 41 and First Lady children/gr-children will be seeking votes for office/s in 2012 or the foreseeable future

it seems its always been this way. for example the pre colombian native Americans (osage)divided themselves into sky people & earth people even when living in the same villages or communities.
