"Your Children Should Learn To Speak Spanish"

"Your Children Should Learn To Speak Spanish"

Or so Barack Obama says. He has something of a point about the importance of learning a foreign language--there are some significant advantages in learning to write English well, once you have a standard of comparison--but that he phrased it primarily as American children should learn to speak Spanish--not just some other language--shows where Obama expects America to be headed.

Obama may deliver speeches well, but this must have been an off-the-cuff remark--or he is too stupid for the job he wants.
