Okay, an innappropriate person making an inappropriate comment :)

Talk radio was having a ball with this one yesterday. It isn't that people shouldn't be by-lingual. I thought it was a good idea, so I learned Spanish. My choice. This says a lot about Obama though.

- He's saying WE should all be embarrassed, when he himself doesn't speak any other languages
- The same old liberal ideology. Europe is good and enlightened and America is stupid. I've been to Europe. No, they don't all speak English (or Spanish). But imagine for a second you lived in AZ and did business with people in NM and they spoke Spanish. You'd learn Spanish. If you look at a map you'll realize that in the matter of a few hours of driving you can go through three COUNTRIES. That puts a premium on learning other languages and like I said, not ALL Europeans do it, because they don't need to.
- What people are pushing for is that all government business be conducted in English only. For the cost savings ALONE this would be beneficial.
