Fire the advisors? Or the speech writers? Pandering can go too far.
“Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English. I agree with that. But understand this. Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English — they’ll learn English — you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.” -Obama, in a recent speech.

...at least he didn't say "ebonics".
....I'm sorry, I had to. If he gets into office, the comedy industry is going to go to shit, with the exception of dave chappelle and carlos mencia, nobody will be able to crack a joke at him. |

How well does Obama speak Spanish? We know he can properly prounounce "Si, se puede" - but it would have been more interesting if he repeated the above phrase in spanish without que cards. Lead by example, right? McCain isn't trying to play the spanish-speaking card. He doesn't have to. He can emphasize the need for foreign language education and let parents ride that one. They can enroll their kids in highschools that teach Russian, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic or which ever languages are offered. Sorry to jump into these arguments late, but things are busy as usual...
