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.

Yo Jeb boy spit or swallow?

[right way right]

Got Weed???

[peyton randolph]

Obama is as American as Jeb’s wife.

[Olog-hai]

Now Jeb’s actions here are a true act of love, towards Obama.

And one cannot go to a “Christian” church led by a “former” Muslim and not be a Muslim oneself, perhaps?

Jeb is the gift that keeps freakin giving. His “retorts” always help Trump and hurt himself. Too bad he didn’t say it in Spanish!

[Will88]

That won’t win any points for Jeb. He’s trying much too hard to be the anti-Trump now.

[JustaCowgirl]

The only person I’ve seen who can top Jeb at sucking out loud every day is John McCain.

[riri]

Literally, if I were to design the most detestable and repugnant candidate I could dream up—I don’t think I could do better than Jeb.

[hosepipe]

He really IS retarded..

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Very good point in post 13.

Jeb, take a moment to wipe Obama’s poop off your nose, kthx.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Trump will inevitably be asked if he thinks the president is a moslem. His response should be “Well, he CLAIMS to be a Christian, but he has lied so often to the American people that we just can’t be sure.”

[Gasshog]

Flip Yeb over and take him off the grill.

He’s Done.

[Rebelbase]

Bernie Madoff was a talented man too.

[867V309]

Will the Bush family be considered complacent in a con?

Truth be known, I think we'll find out a whole lot more than that.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The poster corrected it in a later post. He/she meant Jeb, not Trump. Slammed the wrong candidate.

[boomop1]

Jeb McCain just jumped the shark.

[Jim Noble]

The truth is, Jeb Bush has no idea who or what “Barack Obama” is, and he’s wrong to say otherwise.

[TTFlyer]

Get lost, Bush.

[Jane Long]

Yeah...I’d already posted back ;-)
