Jeb Bush Says He Speaks 'More Spanish Than English At Home'
abcnews.go.com ^ | 6/18/15 | ERIN DOOLEY and CHRISTINE ROMO

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush — a fluent Spanish speaker — told ABC "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir in Spanish Wednesday that he and his wife, Columba, speak "more Spanish than English at home."

"Our grandkids, almost all of them speak Spanish, two of them also speak a little Arabic," the former Florida governor added in Spanish.

Columba Bush, Florida's former first lady, was born and raised in Mexico. The pair fell in love when Jeb, then 17, studied abroad in León, Mexico.

Here’s a translation of Muir and Bush's conversation en Español -- which also touched on immigration reform:

MUIR: Si usted es electo presidente, en los primeros cien días cúal sera su primera prioridad? If you are elected President what will be your highest priority during your first 100 days?

BUSH: The most important thing is to improve the political climate in Washington and to start to work across party lines. Re-establish relations between Democrats and Republicans. Second it is important to have people in positions of power in the executive branch who will work to better the situation in each branch/department. And then formulate plans with congress — a plan for immigration reform, an energy plan for the country, a plan for tax reform. And change the mentality that Washington has to be (has to have) the solution for everything. We've seen that fail.

I vote in every election since I was 18 - including primaries. I’ll vote in 2016, but I will absolutely refuse to vote for this yahoo if he is on the ballot. I’ll vote for all the other races, but not him.

That’s because he’s constantly telling the maid and gardener what to do.

Is it really Spanish, or what G. Gordon Liddy referred to as “Guacamole?”
