I hope the American public is watching. For months, Barack Obama was a
blank slate. The only thing people knew about him was that he gave a
good speech and that he wanted "change." This apparently was enough to
garner him the Democratic presidential nomination. (That should be a
clue to most Americans NOT to vote for him.) But now, with no help from
the media, the real Barack Obama is starting to appear.
The media
won't write stories about what he says, but they don't need to. With
today's technology, we can see for ourselves, and this latest incident
is a doozy! Our education system is crazy enough with all these liberal,
feel-good programs. Forget adding, subtracting, spelling, and grammar.
Now, despite the fact that the rest of the world is learning English, he
says that American kids should learn Spanish? What? Learn Spanish? Yes,
and it shows just how out of touch and far left Obama is. We need a
president who will put America first, not push for our culture to be
forgotten.
What an absolutely ridiculous speech. We need to make sure our kids can
speak Spanish? Why? That is the question. Oh, and I have the answer. It's
because the liberals are quite happy seeing millions of illegal aliens
pour across our border and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it. Rather than
solve the problem of illegal immigration by enforcing laws and securing
our border (after all, if we did that, liberals would call us racists),
the far left would rather Americans simply learn Spanish. That is their
solution to the problem.
And it is definitely becoming more and more of a problem. Example...
during these very nice summer months, my kids love to go swimming with me
at our neighborhood pool. We go in the late morning and spend an hour or
two there. Afterward, we come home for lunch. On some days, we go out, and
they love it when we get sandwiches at Subway. Getting the sandwiches,
however, has become more and more of an ordeal. In fact, the last time we
went, it took forever simply because I couldn't understand the attendant,
and the attendant couldn't understand me.
I'll have a six-inch ham sandwich on wheat with lettuce and tomato...
All I got was a blank stare. I repeated the order, with my daughter
looking on. The lady finally grabbed the wheat bread and then selected
turkey. No... I said ham.
Now, this being a Subway restaurant in AMERICA, one would think that I
could place my order in English. Wrong. This must be a Barack Obama Subway
restaurant, and the only way to place an order is to do it in Spanish.
Hmmm... I guess I should thank Obama for his speech. What he was trying to
get across was the idea that we should teach our kids Spanish just so we
can order a sandwich at an American restaurant. Thanks Obama for looking
out for me!
Sarcasm aside, Barack Obama continues to show that he is not ready for
the presidency, and more importantly, America is not ready for him. Our
kids should not be told to learn Spanish. Our kids should be told to learn
English and math and science, so they can become contributing American
citizens. Obama's example in his speech is that Americans sound silly when
they go to France because they can only say a simple phrase. What's his
point? Is he saying that we should all learn French for that day that we
spend thousands of dollars to travel to France?
English has become the language of international business, commerce,
science, and technology. Other nations learn English, because English is
the "universal" language in which things get done. Only in America (an
English-speaking country) would left-wing Barack Obama tell Americans that
their kids should learn Spanish
