eb Bush said Thursday it was "more than appropriate" for President Barack Obama to speak at a mosque, a departure from several of his Republican rivals.

But, Bush argued, it took too long for Obama to make his first visit to a U.S. mosque as president.

"I don't think it's divisive to go speak in a mosque. I'm surprised it took his eighth year to do it," the former Florida governor told reporters after stopping at a diner here. "The bigger issue is what have you done to deal with ISIS. It's important to recognize that peace-loving Muslims who are American citizens are as American as you and I are, but at the same time, this President has been derelict in his duties to destroy the caliphate."

Something odd about the Bush family. They need to be kept far from Washington

America was quite a bit stronger when Bush I and Bush II were in office. We are not strong enough as a country to withstand the damage of Bush III.

I wonder if JEB regretted that Obammy failed to include a bunch of illegals when touring that moslem fortification in Baltimore? Drag along some refugee orphan kids to make it just the right photo op?

I do not know which Mr Bush has the better chance with the donors now—the one with his mouth nailed shut or the one with it uttering careless musings when open?

Amen amen.

I agree with Bush. It’s entirely appropriate for a Muslim to speak at a mosque. Makes perfect sense to me.

Obama meeting the pope? That is inappropriate!
