Obama '08?

...usually associated with the rich and arrogant...

I can tell ya - it isn't easy to quit, and certainly not during a pressure situation...

Now Obama is claiming every American should learn to speak Spanish, that it is embarrassing we don't speak a second language! Does he speak Spanish, just a question?

This man is looking worse all the time. Listen to him. He is fumbling big time. And some people claim he is a good speaker! Incredible.

What has he ever done besides spend over a 100 days in Congress when he began running for president? Credentials: I guess organizing a community, whatever that is? My community is already organized, so we have no need for his skills, whatever they are, which are still a mystery.

Fumbling on what? Every American SHOULD learn another language, be it Spanish or something else. Tell me, Okie, what is the downside to this?

Now Obama was running a lottery for campaign contributors that contribute more than a certain amount can get their name in a drawing to win a better seat and meet Obama back stage.

Do these people have any sense?

The downside is Obama is lecturing us to speak Spanish when he can't. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Probably from a teleprompter, cyclops.

Paint me skeptical, and you would be correct.

okie, You seem to be ignorant of the human desire to meet the famous and infamous - and pay for the privilege. A Chinese businessman just paid 2.3 million to have lunch with Warren Buffett.

With our without a teleprompter, he speaks it better then your ass does.

You will note that Obama has called for America's kids to be learning a foreign language as part of their education. Not necessarily American adults, who left formal education long ago. So your original argument doesn't really hold much water at all, actually.

You're really reaching these days... I can't help but think that this is b/c, even after all the 'mistakes' you like to point out, Obama seems to do better and better in the polls every day. It must be frustrating for ya.

Obama's appeal to learn Spanish is nothing more than pandering to win votes.

Just a note as a trilingual student. Studying a foreign language actually promotes a better understanding of one's first language.

Say again, I want to make sure I heard you right, Diest?
