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.

Only God really knows if Obama is a Christian. He certainly does not behave like one.
Have you noticed his whistling s speech impediment?
pretty damn annoying, and nobody says anything. He’s such a rage dork.
Where is that picture of the pumpkin throwing up!!
We are probably on the same page.
Lots of Blackmail with this blackmale
Jeb , Donald should have blamed W like every Democrats does
Jeb is a Pander Bear like Paul Tsongas. Sickening for sure. You know, I don’t know if I am fully for Trump, but he needs our support just to blow the media and these elites to high heaven. I hope it is possible.
Its funny, I have never been a supporter of his and certainly am not and won’t be now but he was an innovative, effective, and decently conservative, for the most part, governor of Florida. All that seems to have flown out the window, leaving just a pudge appearance (sorry, but he looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy) and sludge opinions, with a real low-energy, polished edge approach.
Dude.
Very misleading headline. Trump did not make the statements in question. Someone at his rally made them.
Maybe Jeb is onto something. :)
Why does this fool think he needs to defend Obama in any way?
Whada maroon!
Power or the promise of power corrupts
Yeb! : All the Excitement of a Wet Fart.
Horseshit.
I was in Africa while Obama was electioneering for his first term. All the muslim money traders had pictures of their muslim hero in full regalia. “Islam will rule in America.”
This event occurred in four nations that I am aware of.
If you want to call jeremiah wright christian, then you have to call Cone. Then you have to look into the past and ask Farrakhan.
With that being said, wanna hear a joke?
Jeb Bush.
Jeb is done.
If JEB believes that Ophonybama is NOT a Moslem, I have a bridge the can buy, CHEAP!
Their FBI CIA secret files would be interesting.
