Jeb Bush Responds To Trump: Obama Is An ‘American, He’s A Christian’
By Sean Sullivan. September 18.
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. -- Jeb Bush responded Friday night to Donald Trump's decision this week not to correct a questioner who said President Obama is a Muslim who is "not even an American."
"Barack Obama is a talented man -- and by the way he's an American, he's a Christian -- his problem isn't the fact that he was born here or what his faith is," said Bush in a speech here. "His problem is that he's a progressive liberal who tears down anybody that disagrees with him."
At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on Thursday, Trump did not correct an audience member who said that Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American."
Asked by a reporter after his remarks whether Trump should apologize, Bush said: "I spoke to it. I spoke to it there."
Bush was the first of six presidential hopefuls scheduled to speak at the three-day conference here that began Friday. On Saturday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.), former Hewlett Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) will address the crowd.

Is it love or just a foolish infatuation?
Together with Pajama boy.
and they are going to force this dude upon us one way or another. Just like Romney. they don’t learn.
well. apparently either he or someone he knows is very “talented” at forgery.
he’s setting up a third=party run with Hillary as VP
You know, Jeb. The captain of the Titanic, after the ship hit the iceberg, he had the smarts not to back the ship up and then go forward in order to ram the iceberg again.
Oooooops! Slammed the wrong guy! Jeb is the McCain redux.......mea culpa!
That should win over a lot of Conservatives. This guy is a genius.
there is no circumstance under which i could ever vote for another Bush. why the GOPe thinks it’s a good idea to run a 3rd Bush within a quarter century is beyond me. tone deaf. out of touch. elitist. inept. the GOPe is all of those things.
Especially on illegal immigration...
Right?
Well Jeb, how do you know what’s in Obama’s head? HUH?
Are you a mind reader?
What a lap dog Jeb is.
Even if, by chance, this clown were to be our nomination for President, I would stay home on election day and enjoy a glass or two of my favorite adult beverage while smoking a large stogie and not vote. Promise.
Says the wanna be mexican
Trump is nothing but a McCain redux.
Most ridiculous post of the night.
Trump did not address the issue, when the man/plant made the comment. Which is the RIGHT way to handle this nonsense.
McCain defended 0bola, at a rally of his, where someone tried to say the same thing.
The two are nothing alike.
Bet he admires the crease in Obama’s trousers, too...
Did Jeb mention the crease in Obama’s pants?
Didn’t see your mea culpa soon enough ;-)
Yea how many pundits tried to say Trump was not a Christian because he didn’t answer Frank Luntz’s questions about his faith properly— and it was just two or three days ago that Jindal said Trump had never read the bible.. where was Bush’s outrage over the questioning of Trump’s Christianity?
