Jeb Bush Called Abe Lincoln America’s ‘PRESIDENTE,’ Not ‘PRESIDENT’
Breitbart ^ | 6/23/15 | ALEX SWOYER

As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush used the Spanish word “presidente” instead of the English word – President – while communicating with one of his aides to describe Abe Lincoln, according to decade-old emails reported by the Washington Post.

A day before South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley decided to remove the confederate flag from the state capitol grounds following the racially motivated shooting in a Charleston church, a Washington Post blog reported about how GOP presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush handled the confederate flag debate while he was governor of the Sunshine state.

In his report, the Post’s Ed O’Keefe explained that Bush quietly removed a flag from the Florida capitol grounds and decided not to support a proclamation for a Confederate History Month, but after news reports broke over the flag’s removal, Bush received emails expressing disappointment in his decision.

One of the emails O’Keefe highlighted ironically had Bush using the word “presidente” instead of “president” – which wasn’t discussed in O’Keefe’s report, but Bush’s choice of wording is ironic in light of his stance on immigration – with many Republicans criticizing Bush by arguing that he isn’t tough enough on that issue.

In fact, a recent poll out of New Hampshire suggested immigration would be a huge hurdle for Bush.

A Suffolk University Poll revealed more than eight out of 10 people surveyed did not agree with Bush’s statement that illegal immigration is “an act of love,” as USA Today reported, noting that more than six out of 10 of those polled “disagreed strongly.”

Jeb! is on record: he doesn’t think Americans are capable of building a great nation anymore. He is on record favoring “aspirational youth” from south of the border to come into the United States to build us back up as a great nation - in other words, to duplicate what they have so successfully accomplished south of the border.

This is stupid. Had he used: El Presidente, he may have a point, but the difference is likely a typo.

And just for the record, I am not a Jebist.

Stars are on the Confederate battle flag, which is racist, which means you are a racist.

Jebster's fixation on things hispanic is borderline OCD.

He needs to seek help.
