"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. The Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference is an annual gathering on an upscale island with no automobiles (but lots of horse-drawn carriages) that lies north of Michigan's lower peninsula. The island is only accessible by ferry or charter plane. (Bush chose to get here by ferry.) The confab is held at a luxurious hotel offering sweeping lake views. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder opened the conference with brief remarks Friday afternoon. Addressing reporters after his introduction, Snyder, a former businessman who won two terms campaigning as a technocrat, said he is looking for a presidential candidate who is a "common-sense problem solver." But he declined to name anyone in the field. Snyder said he is likely to make an endorsement before Michigan's primary, which will be held next March. In his remarks, Bush said Republicans need to "expand the map" and compete for states like Michigan, which has gone Democratic in the last six presidential elections. Love for illegal aliens and now this? Who is giving Jeb! any donations? The Democrat Party? 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."

A Bush "christian" Why of course he's a christian. Don't all christian presidents curtsey (like Obama did) when meeting saudi royalty?
All the Christians I know and I always refer to our "Muslim faith". /sarc
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." That son of a bitch Bush would say anything to get elected. He has absolutely no intrgrity. He acts as if he's unaware Obama was raised in S. E. Asia, was educated in islamic schools and applied to Harvard as a foreigner.
Of course he is, if he mentioned it the MSM would be all over him like stink on schitt... Is a Bush a reliable source of trustworthiness? The fake Right cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
Psalm 37
The fact that the GOP PTB think this is something people care about or want non-demoncrat care about is one of the major problems the GOP PTB have. Along with hating real conservatism and libertarianism and small government people in general. Jeb and his elk are progressives they just don't like being called so. Its like a homosexual hating being called gay.
Trump was simply doing his impression of the MSM interviewing a liberal. They NEVER correct the lies.
There should be a law to prevent people named "Bush" from breeding.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
How about placing some duct tape over his mouth that should improve his probability of POTUS? The man is a total idiot and shot his own political self.
He probably is unaware of that. His family hires consultants to teach him what they think he needs to know. He's a figurehead,and not a particularly bright one. Nothing more. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Please document the proof that Obama applied to Harvard as a foreigner. Thanks. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Please document the proof that Obama applied to Harvard as a foreigner. Thanks. I think Robert was confused,and meant to say the first US college that Obomber went to,not Harvard. This was at the time he visited Pakistan using an Indonesian passport. We know this because at the time you couldn't get a visa to go to Pakistan using a US passport.

I think Robert was confused,and meant to say the first US college that Obomber went to,not Harvard. That would be Occidental but I have never seen documentation that proves that Obama applied as a foreign student. Have you? BTW, even if there is abundant irrefutable proof it will not matter to Obama supporters and the entire DRat Party. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Jeb seems to be horribly confused. I don't have a right to judge Zero's heart as to if he is a Christian or not, but looking at his works I see more resemblance to a buzzard and not a Christ follower. Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced … more true than truth itself—Irenaeus, Against Heresies
Har, har, har! Amen to that. It would be a successful move to prevent genetic pollution of the country.
No,but I also haven't seen any proof that he DIDN'T,and that should be falling off the log easy to prove if it were the case. What I DO know is that at around that same time span (forgot the exact date now) Obomber visited Pakistan at a time when no one with an American passport was give a visa. This tends to me me and a whole lot of other people believe he was traveling on his Indonesian passport,and since Indonesian was/is a Muslim country,that would do the trick. BTW, even if there is abundant irrefutable proof it will not matter to Obama supporters and the entire DRat Party. And no one else at this late date. What are we going to do,pretend it didn't happen,remove him from office,and let McLunatic serve out his remaining time? The political class that runs this country knows the truth on this as well as his birth certificate,and they just flat don't give a damn. He was a tame black that spoke good English,and they wanted a black president for political mileage. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
And that is why this country is f*cked and the Consitution virtually a meaningless document. Say what you will, the root cause of this is We The People....no-one else. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Yup. They are only getting away with it because the low information voters that vote for people because they are wearing the "right" label or have "presidential hair" are now the majority voters and let them get away with it.
