His wife REFUSES to speak English and she has been in the USA for 40 years! She makes her husband and kids speak Spanish!
How come the media has not jumped on this? Jeb is an idiot if he thinks he will be elected Pres with a wife who REFUSES to ASSIMILATE. Not a person I know will vote for him based on that alone.
I don't have a problem with that if that's what she does at home. Best way to make your kids bilingual or to give your spouse a chance to really learn the language is to speak exclusively to them in one language. My wife tries to do that with our kids in Norwegian. (and yes Mrs D. speaks American English fluently without accent)
HOWEVER, if Ms. Bush refuses to speak English in public where it would be normal and correct to do so - that's another thing altogether.
I've just tried to find Youtube video of Columba Bush speaking. Found one Spanish-language interview. Nothing in English yet.
