Campaigning in California today, President Obama will be speaking Spanish for the benefit of Hispanic voters. (I heard this on CNN just now; will find linkiepoo ASAP.) Evidentially, Obama has already recorded ads for California in Spanish to run on Spanish TV out there.

Now, in fairness, he does say our kids should speak more than one language and no one is going to argue that'd be a bad thing (though he fails to explain why Spanish must always be that second language). But he begins by saying "I don't understand people who say Americans should speak English." Really, Mr. President?
Anyone suspect he is pandering to the illegal alien sympathizers among us? I certainly do.
This is a ginormous error; whilst on US soil, the President should always speak English. I would not object to an interpretator, etc. but to hear him suggest "one language is as good as another"?
NO.
