Obama has suggested that like other countries around the world that teach English, our school system could be more worldly and offer our kids more of an education by teaching them a second language early on.
You know, global economy and all that. It makes kids more marketable.
How many future businesspeople would benefit from learning Spanish.

These folks at Alipac are anything but worldly, however. They only see the issue through one lens and can't comprehend this concept. They also spell Obama's name wrong.
Following the hard lessons of New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's failed attempt to give licenses to illegal aliens and John McCain's close call with political destruction for supporting Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty in 2007, Barrack Obama has stepped on a political land mine stating Americans should be forced to learn to speak Spanish.
YouTube videos showing his speech have gone viral and the new media is quickly distributing his comments which are opposed by approximately 4 out of 5 Americans according to Rasmussen Report polling from last month which shows Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English as their primary language. Just 13% take the opposite view and say it is more important for Americans to learn other languages.
Obama says in the video “instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English,” Americans “need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.”
