O'Possum: You Embarrass Me
feeling’s mutual, pal...
Obama to supporters in Powder Springs, Georgia on Tuesday:
"I don’t understand when people are going around worrying about, we need to have English only. They want to pass a law, we just, we want English only, ...Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English, I agree with this.
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."
“Understand this”? “you need”?!? Hey, Pal - understand this: you need to reach deeeep down and find some place, somewhere, some how the tiniest little respect for the people you want to vote for you. You’re so surrounded by the echo chamber of elitist, hate-America effete no-nothings you have no freakin’ idea who the American people—the electorate—really are. Get off your cheezy, borrowed airplane, lose the entourage and get a real job for a month. One month. You’d be the wiser for it.
There’s more:
"You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual ...We should have every child speaking more than one language.
Yanno It’s embarrassing... It’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and aaaand, aaa… and all we can say is merci beacoup, right?"
Yeah? What languages do you speak? You couldn’t even say merci beacoup properly. [I heard the tape and added some of the stutters to the quote above] You have trouble speaking English clearly. Off teleprompter you have more trouble elucidating a thought than a random teenager picked from behind a Starbux drive thru.
You arrogant cheezypooff.
Is this the same moron who tells us today that Europeans are ever so much smarter than we are because they speak so many languages?
“You know, it’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German.”
Somebody is going to figure out that he has just insulted a majority of illegal immigrants, all of whom speak only one language.
I wonder how Obama does, other-language-wise? Just askin’.
