English As Your Second or Third Language

Barack Obama wants you to start studying (from Campaign Spot):

Obama, speaking in Colorado today:

12:18 p.m. "When it comes to second-language learners, the most important thing is not to get bogged down in ideology, but figure out what works," Obama says. "Everybody should be bilingual, or everybody should be trilingual." The comments drew loud applause.

His wife warned us, "Barack is going to require you to work." Apparently we're all going to be working on passing our federal foreign language exams.

Actually, Senor Obama, everyone should speak English. That would solve a huge number of communication problems in this country.
