		<description>Hmm! Your idiocy is showing, sir!

This poorly educated snob is now our President.  I have great respect for him--indeed, I voted for him.  His command of English makes yours look pathetic.  

How many Hispanics voted for him?  How many laborers?  How many children of loborers?  (I&#039;m one).  My parents--poor, hard-working white people-- instilled in me a respect for education and a great respect for the President of the United States, no matter who he might be. What a pity yours didn&#039;t!

Yes, I speak French.  I also speak some German and read Latin and some Greek.  That doesn&#039;t make me a pinko.  I don&#039;t feel that I have to wear fat-cop sunglasses and a Takes-us sheriff&#039;s hat to prove that I&#039;m true-blue American.  I&#039;m a woman and a great-grandmother, but I&#039;d defend this nation with a gun in my hand to my last breath against any clear and present danger--including the likes of you.  

By the way, did you know that a theocracy is a government led by a god?  Who the heck do you think ought to be leading ours, Glen Beck?  Also by the way, theocracy shouldn&#039;t be capitalized, though of course the word god, when indicating the god leading America, should.  Just so you get it right if you ever have cause to use such a fundamental concept.

I happened on to this miscarriage of an article by chance.  If I ever happen on to another one of your articles, I&#039;ll think there is some dark power at work.

		<description>this is the most sickening article i&#039;ve ever seen
to start off, i would like to point out that english is not the most difficult language to learn. While it does have a lot of rules and exceptions, so do most European languages and Asian languages with far greater vocabularies and tenses. Second, if we as Americans are ever to get rid of our unjustified and self proclaimed reputation as &quot;the world&#039;s best&quot; we need to start off by accepting the fact that there were other countries out there thousands of years before the US even existed, and that English was merely one of them and is in no way superior to any other language, and far from being the most efficient. As a matter of fact, nearly every one else in the world speaks English to facilitate their business and relations but just as soon as the economy shifts and world powers alter, lazy and stuck up Americans will be fucked as they are left to realize the world didn&#039;t wait for them to learn another language. And as for the point that hard working Americans don&#039;t have the time to learn one, that is bullshit, every other industrialized country is faced with similar challenges and yet once again manages to outdo us in yet another way.</description>

		<description>&quot;“The problem with the French is that they have no word for, ‘entrepreneur!’” - The Addled Puppet Reagan&quot;

Actually, this quote is attributed to Bush, and in  either case, its a phony quote. Neither man said it:

		<description>I have spent 28 yrs. of my life defending our county with USAF.  At no time in all of the countriesI visited, approx. 45, did I ever have a problem with any language.  Most people in those countries will go out of way to accomadate your requests.  Who the hell does this puck from chicgo, hawaii,keyna, were ever.  And the worst is where is his real birth place.I know where I was bor, does he.  I really do not like Hillary, but right now she is head and shoulders above this total fraud.  I can&#039;t believe the grand po-bos of the dem party are happy with turd.</description>

		<description>Other than as an intellectual exercise, why would an American need to learn another language?

&quot;Modern English, sometimes described as the first global lingua franca, is the dominant international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy.&quot;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Significance

&quot;It is the primary language of world trade, business and management. It is the language of global travel, tourism and hospitality. It is the international language of science and medicine. It is the language of diplomacy and international cooperation. It is the language of global banking and Third World development. It is the dominant language in all forms of international media and publishing. Although many languages can now reach around the world cheaply over the Internet and satellite broadcasting, it is English that consistently reaches the biggest global audiences. English is the language of sports and glamour: both the Olympics and the Miss Universe pageant use English as the official language. It is the ecumenical language of the World Council of Churches.&quot;

&quot;According to some forecasts, within just a few decades more Chinese will be able to speak English than in the rest of the world combined. Already, more people speak English as a second language in India than in all of Britain, where the language began.&quot;
http://languageinstinct.blogspot.com/2006/09/languages-of-world-two-ways-to-triumph.html


Instead of bothering with a second language, perhaps channeling, instead, that energy and effort into other fields of study would yield better results.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s great.  Obama&#039;s answer to the open borders/immigration crisis:  Learn Spanish.

And FYI Senator Obama, I do speak three languages, including French and Spanish.  I learned them to attend a top international business school overseas.  But do you know how much good it does me?  Zero.  That&#039;s because I live in a wealthy and well educated part of the USA, not freakin&#039; Guatemala.</description>

		<description>We have enuf domestic issues here.  They have been ignored for the past 7 years.

In any case, if the choices are going to be Obama or McCain - I am up for no election this fall. Let Bushy leave office in January.  And, go w/o a Prez for a while and see how that works for us. LOL!</description>

		<description>Thank you Uppity!  lol....

Meanwhile, I don&#039;t understand wtf Obama is complaining about.  It IS required to take a second language course in high school and in college.

What more does he want America to do?

I&#039;m so sick of him looking down on everyone.  Meanwhile, he should be worrying about down home America.  They aren&#039;t worrying about learning freakin&#039; french and zipping around Paris; these people are worried about how to pay for gas--not their European extravanganza vacation.

I bet the Euro press played that tape of Obama making fun of Americans.  Obama knows that too. He wants a BIG OLE welcome when he goes to Europe.

BLEGH!</description>

		<description>&quot; . . . storefront preaching . . ..&quot; LOL! Every time I hear BO assume his &quot;preacher&#039;s voice,&quot; visions of a certain crazed Chicago preacher who lives in a million-dollar mansion in a rich, white neighborhood come to mind (and all of Barky&#039;s other colorful friends and mentors). As someone said, you can&#039;t make this stuff up.</description>
