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.

White guilt guy runs for president what could go wrong.
Fine, let's elect him President of Mexico!
Or give the boy his Pandering Merit Badge and tell him either get back to running for President of the whole United States or go home and cállate (shut up).
My heart breaks every time I see more from the Bush family. Dad, I don’t care so much about because he paved the way for Clinton, but GW I used to like, especially right after 911.
But, his administration paved the way for our current failure in chief. If Jeb becomes president, he could pave the way for the anti-christ.
“I will NEVER vote for that canned ham faced wannabe Mexican.”
Me, either! Great description of El Jebito de Mexico!!!!
He disgusts me.
Well, I think he has bagged the Hispanic and ISIS vote...
Rubio betrayed the citizens when he schemed with Schumer and his Gang of Eight.
He still thinks we should surrender the rule of law and give the country to fraudulently documented foreigners who broke into the country.
I’m never voting for him, either.
Coño...
He is American born and live in the US (supposedly) if he were an expatriate living in Latn America that would be different, but this is odd. His wife should know enough English after living here 30+ years.
