WASHINGTON (AP) — Taking another step toward a presidential run, Jeb Bush is resigning his advisory role with British banking giant Barclays.

A Bush spokesman said Thursday that the former Florida governor would leave his senior adviser position at the end of the year. Bush has been with the banking and financial services firm since 2009. An aide said he counseled business clients around the world on economic regulations and policies.

Bush's team would not discuss compensation related to the departure.

The potential Republican presidential contender also plans to stop adding paid speeches to his schedule, although he will honor a handful already booked for early next year.

3. WTF could this pampered ass advise the bank on?

They get these positions solely to be paid huge dollars because they are part of the lucky sperm club.

When will you people get pissed off about this shit? grrrrrrrrrrr

4. Well, barclays was embroiled in a massive market manupulation conspiracy, for which they got off

with a slap on the wrist, so this could be just about anything, including a position in the form of a payback.

5. If we only knew how much money people like this have and what they dont have to do

to get it.

If the average person realized they did more work in one week than many rich folk do in a lifetime...

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

6. In other news, Miss Mona Stangley leaves The Chicken Ranch, slate wiped clean . . .

Newly-minted Virgin promises to stop doing paid Reach Arounds (although, business is business, and hand-full commitments must be kept).

That's the Bush family forte.

8. If I had any confidence in the republicans breaching the blue wall

I'd buy stock in Barclay after what happened with Haliburton.

Thankfully I have no confidence in them breaching the blue wall.
