Ignoring criticism from Donald Trump about speaking Spanish on the campaign trail, Jeb Bush uses his second language in a new video celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.
The one-minute video, “Todos Somos Americanos” or “We are all Americans,” also features a rare appearance from his wife of 41 years, Columba, who’s from Mexico.
“I have lived over half my life here,” she says in English in the video. “We all have the same interests, the same feelings.”
The Republican presidential candidate says in Spanish that he is “proud” that his children and grandchildren are Hispanic. “Hispanics contribute more every day to our culture; they are an integral part of the American dream,” Bush says.

Taking Spanish in high school means he would be a great president. Jeb is such a joke.
Said it before. If he gets the nomination, I will hunt down and PUNCH FReepers in the face if they insist on the ‘lesser evil’.
Boosh! Volta pra mexico e fica la’!
Was Jeb in a Mexican school?
This is so utterly stupid that it’s almost unbelievable.
I have told all of you before and I weary of trying to wake people up. Residents of the "Rancho" near Silao, Mexico from which Columba comes will tell you that she rarely visits there and has little or nothing to do with family OR friends there. If she starts anytime soon, it will only be for political gain. The treasonous media are NOT doing their jobs by investigating the facts about this. Jeb is only using the language/culture connection for political gain.
Since legal immigrants are required to learn English as a prerequisite to gaining citizenship, there is only one reason to speak Spanish in an election.
Pandering to illegals.
Go away Jebbie, we don’t need ya.
He should run for president of Mexico.
He’s a panderer. Just like a used car salesman or life insurance agent and no one likes them unless they need them. Even the immigrants will see him for what he is.
Does “Jeb” ever celebrate Americans? No. He insults us. We’re lazy, infertile, lack family values, etc.
Bush is a jerk.
“Does “Jeb” ever celebrate Americans? No. He insults us. We’re lazy, infertile, lack family values, etc.”
He obviously doesn’t have the energy to do that for us.
“Does “Jeb” ever celebrate Americans? No. He insults us. We’re lazy, infertile, lack family values, etc.”
According to an article I read on NRO, some months back, the author was citing statements by Jeb! to the effect that Americans no longer have what it takes to maintain a great nation. And, according to Jeb!, we need “aspirational” youth from south of the border to move in to maintain America as a viable nation.
During the last debate, I noticed that Jeb! said twice that immigration was an “economic driver”. Someone should have asked him when would the “economic drive” start.
Jeb! truly has some emotional issues about his own country.
AMERICANS speak ENGLISH
simple as that
you know Jeb... melting pot.. and all that ONE FROM MANY

ROUND EM UP HEAD EM OUT...RAWHIDE
People worked hard to build this country and defend it...
No traitor has the right to import hundreds of thousands of muslims because he gave away the victory in iraq and no one has the right to trample on the LAW for political gain - directed at Obama not Jebbie..
The ILLEGAL Hispanics are still a problem. But we need to get a handle — or drop some bombs — on that other group ASAP!
I’ve compiled a short list of what I believe are the TOP EXISTENTIAL threats to what remains of the America we older folks knew and loved – warts and all – growing up.
THE DISEASE OF SPIRITUAL AND EDUCATIONAL IGNORANCE AND APATHY brought to us by “leftist progressive” control of the government education system and the failure of too many citizens to grasp what was going on in those places tops the list. The formerly free and open marketplace of ideas has been effectively closed and shuttered by false and debate derailing devices with names like “Political Correctness”, “Tolerance” and “Diversity”.
Mr. Franklin warned us about that when he declared that “A NATION OF WELL INFORMED MEN, WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO KNOW AND TO PRIZE THE RIGHTS GOD HAS GIVEN THEM, CANNOT BE ENSLAVED. IT IS IN THE REGION OF IGNORANCE THAT TYRANNY BEGINS.” We are no longer well informed and are now deep into that dark and dangerous region of ignorance! Can you guess what comes next??
That ignorance has led to the elevation to our highest elected office an unvetted, unqualified America hating Marxist community organizer who has been relentless in his effort to destroy us ideologically. It also led to the retention in high office of turncoats named McConnell, Boehner and others who care more for their positions and perks than they do for the preservation of the nation and Constitution they also swore a sacred oath to “...preserve, protect and defend” . To retain their positions and perks, they have done NOTHING to bring to heel the petty tyrant now infesting the presidency.
Their failure in checking the madman in the White House has brought us to what those of us who have thought it through realize will be the ideological death of America – the IDEA left us by the Founders. That destruction will be the inevitable result of the ongoing and increasing importation of people who know even less of our language, traditions, customs, mores and folkways than a disturbing number of native born citizens and who are no longer urged – let alone required – to assimilate into the tattered remains of this culture.
There is also a very real risk of PHYSICAL DESTRUCTION that will ensue as Obama and his handmaidens in Washington and elsewhere devote the last days of this farce of a so-called administration IMPORTING UNVETTED MUSLIM TERRORISTS under the cover of rescuing “REFUGEES”. If you’ve seen the photos of the mostly physically fit young men of fighting age coming out of the mess now enveloping Europe, can you guess how much “mischief” the thousands Obama plans to bring here will create? You do know that “mischief” and the ensuing civil disorder are all part of the bigger One World plan, don’t you? Conspiracy? WHAT CONSPIRACY??
If the government refuses to perform one of the few functions mandated in the Constitution, that of to “...provide for the common defense”, that defense will have to be accomplished by other means.
And IF YOU WANT THIS PLACE TO EXIST FOR YOUR KIDS, IT’S TIME – PAST TIME – TO WAKE UP!
Utterly pathetic! Does this jackass realize that if he emigrated to Mexico he would not be permitted to participate in the political process at any level or he’d face immediate deportation - even if he had legal status? Mexico has the most severe immigration laws in the western hemisphere. So he speaks Spanish - big friggin’ deal!
I’m waiting for Cruz or Trump to point out that Cesar Chavez vehemently opposed illegal immigration and frequently referred to illegals as “wetbacks”. See: http://spectator.org/articles/59956/cesar-chavez-anti-immigration-his-union-core
Jeb is a joke for many, many reasons! The guy is a caricature of himself...
Just watched the video. Is that really him speaking ? Sounds like a voice-over.
Plus with his electoral strategy he’ll be lucky to get 30-40 percent. Bush is a loser guaranteed to lose.
