You Better Learn Spanish Or You'll Disappoint the Obamessiah

Barack Obama made another of his campaign-long gaffes when he decided to lecture Americans on how they embarrass him if they travel to other countries but can't speak their language. He also informed us that we need to teach our kids to speak Spanish (though he doesn't speak it himself).

The folks at Rasmussen Reports had recently done some polling on the question of English-only laws and discovered that nearly every American disagrees with the Obamessiah:

Barack Obama said yesterday that “instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English,” Americans “need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.” A national telephone survey conducted last month by Rasmussen Reports found that U.S. voters overwhelmingly disagree with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

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.

This kind of condescension regularly demonstrated by Obama is going to wear thin with voters in both parties.
