Jeb is transracial.
(and if you disagree, you are a hateful bigot!) /s
Is that like Warren claiming she’s Cherokee?
It was an act of Love.
Isn’t falsifying information on government forms illegal?
It’s like Bill Clinton claiming he was the first black president.
Right up there with Fauxcahontas.
Maybe he can run as her VP candidate.
hopefully Jeb is done
Yeah, checking the hispanic block was a mistake. Lying POS.
White hispanic ?
Osorio. Osorio, a Venezuelan schemer, organized high profile fundraisers, and was in thick w/ Democrats Obama, Hillary and Bill-----and with Jeb Bush.
Osorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records.
Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation.
Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US govt----the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake. In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."
A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money." Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.
Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges. Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle. The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home.
Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s bogus companies.
AM/GREED also aired a pic of Jeb sizing-up Osorio's pre-fab housing project for Haitian refugees (which turned out to be a scam).
In 1999, Columba Bush, the famously private wife of then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was detained and fined by federal customs officials for misrepresenting the amount of clothing and jewelry she had bought while on a solo five-day shopping spree in Paris.
The incident left the Florida first lady deeply mortified and her husband politically chagrined. Jeb Bush said the first lady had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip.
“The embarrassment I felt made me ashamed to face my family and friends,” Columba Bush said in a July 1999 speech to the Central Florida Make-a-Wish Foundation, not long after the incident. “It was the worst feeling I’ve ever had in my life. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
==============================================
WIKI Columba Bush was born as Columba Garnica Gallo in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, where she grew up and attended high school. Her parents were José María Garnica, a migrant worker, and Josefina Gallo. She met Jeb Bush in 1971 in León, Mexico, where he was teaching English as part of a foreign exchange program. They were married on February 23, 1974, in Austin, Texas. Her relationship with her mother was the subject of a brief profile in the book Mamá: Latina Daughters Celebrate Their Mothers by María Pérez-Brown (ISBN 0-06-008386-7). Her parents divorced in 1963.
She appeared in a Spanish language campaign commercial for father-in-law, George H. W. Bush, in 1988, but generally tends to be uninvolved in politics.
In June of 1999, she was "briefly detained" at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport. On her way home from a shopping trip in Paris, she had declared only $500 worth of merchandise on her US Customs form, but agents found receipts indicating that she was "toting about $19,000 worth of clothing and jewelry". She was allowed to continue to Tallahassee after using a personal check to pay a $4,100 fine.
At the time, a spokesman for the Bush family explained that she did not "answer truthfully at first because she did not want her husband to know how much she had spent".

Bill Clinton was the first black president. No one outside lunacy ever questioned him.
Jeb Bush’s claim - based on marriage
Elizabeth Warren’s claim - based on family lore that somebody in her lineage was an Indian
Jeb Bush’s claim is based on being married to a Mexican, a person who is clearly entitled to claim to be Hispanic. Also, Jeb is the father of their children, who are also clearly entitled to claim to be Hispanic. I don’t know how many generations this Hispanic thing continues. A century ago when the country was hot and bothered about non-WASP Europeans coming here, identifying people as Italian-Americans or Polish-Americans or whatever generally ended with the children of immigrants.
The proper analogy is not to Elizabeth Warren, who had no claim to being a Native American, but would be to Sarah Palin, if she were to claim to be a Native Alaskan. Sarah is married to a Native Alaskan, and mother to their children. This is another case where Sarah is proven to be correct in not confusing relations by marriage with her own identity. Funny how, time and again, the common sense of the people of this country wins out over the supposedly greater intelligence of the elites.
A similar issue might be raised with regard to Mitt Romney. Mitt’s father, George Romney, was born in Mexico. George’s father (Mitt’s grandfather) and his wives relocated to that country as they were polygamists, and he would been forced to divorce all but one after the federal government imposed itself on Utah. But, the Romney clan did not assimilate into the Mexican culture, nor seek Mexican citizenship. Rather, they lived in a Mormon enclave, and retained U.S. citizenship. As the son of U.S. citizens, George Romney was a natural-born U.S. citizen himself, and there was no real question as to his qualification for U.S. President back in 1968 when he sought the Republican nomination. Today, the cousins of Mitt Romney in Mexico are Mexicans. But, George Romney and by extension Mitt Romney were not. Mitt was correct to never assert that he was Hispanic.
Getting back to squaw Warren, if family lore is sufficient to establish an identity, then practically every white whose family goes back to before the U.S. Civil War could claim to be an Indian. Especially, white Southerners. Many white people believe they are “part Cherokee” or whatever. Possibly it is true. Perhaps the keenest example is President Calvin Coolidge who claimed to be one-eighth Cherokee.
I’m o.k. with people entertaining themselves with whatever they want to believe. They could believe in reincarnation for all I care. But, why that should mean anything in terms of college admission, employment, or any of our civil rights, I cannot understand. It was a long time ago that the Supreme Court said that blacks were the victims of “insidious discrimination,” and so justified a degree of affirmative action. But, that was a long time ago. Today, they are simply the worst victims of the U.S. welfare state. And why certain immigrants and their progeny - those who are Hispanic - are given preferences to native born Americans just galls me to no end. It is just so unfair.
Um, we don’t need a delusional guy in the white house. I don’t really care how trivial this “mistake” is, it’s pretty creepy and weird.
