americans.
I am personally offended by it; and think it shows a lack of respect to the English-speaking taxpayers of America.
Last time I checked my taxes were filed in English Mr. Governor.

This was on CNN.
What do you think?
Why is he not speaking in German, Polish, Italian, Russian, French? What about that? And all the other languages?

I guess he figures since they're to stupid to move out of hurricaine alley then maybe they'll listen to Spanish before they cry "bad government" sent the hurricaine over here and didn't rescue us dummies from our stupidity.
I am tired of hearing whiners who are proud and arrogant needing to live by the ocean whine when they're stuff gets flooded and blown down. Didn't we all hear the story of the three little pigs?
I'd rather give my taxes to criminals in jail.

YOU are nothing more than a hate-filled, Klan-style racist, like many in your country.
The second language of Florida is SPANISH! Over 30% of Floridians speak SPANISH as a first or second language, you racist buffoon. Less than 0.04% speak POLISH!
See the point - 30% verses 0.04%. Of course you don't, because that would totally invalidate your entire racist hate-filled rant about any of your fellow citizens who aren't just perfect white-skinned English speaking Barby Dolls like you.
300 million people of the Americas speak English 300 million of the people of the Americas speak Spanish. GET IT?
If you ranted on and on in Europe about how "offended" you were that people in France spoke some German ot that people in Germany could speak some Spanish, you would be considered a "nut-case" at best and a flaming Nazi at worst!
As I am not a citizen of the USA, that's how I see you, a flaming Nazi nut-case!

Jeb Bush is a very intelligent man and perhaps his audience was primarily Hispanic and that is why he was speaking Spanish. Yes I know we speak English is this country and I wish everyone here did speak English however I also know that this just isn't so and if I were a politician I would speak Spanish to a Hispanic audience.

I live here in Tampa,I do understand what you mean,but a very large percentage of Florida is Hispanic meaning votes,also his wife is Columbian.However as I said I do understand where you are coming from but here in Tampa I have to speak Spanish over half the places I go.By the way his wife is Columbian I think not Cuban.

I'd like to see English designated as the national language. AND all official documents be ONLY written in English.
But if that was tried to be put into law the ACLU and every liberal in the US would be hollering discrimination.

Considering that Florida is largely Cuban and some form of Hispanic, it's just one more example of him having to cater to them.
