  • He is referring to learning other languages, not only Spanish....we all live in a globalized world...so...ok, English may be the current lingua franca, but if you try to figure globalization out, so....above all, studying languages is good for the brain even in question of health....I don't live nor wasn't born in any English-speaking country so studying languages have made a huge difference in my life.

  • Wtf your fucking stupid mexico teaches english to. to the rest of the world your a retard that can only speak one language while the rest of the world could speak 2 and more language and a fucking part of europe speaks spanish.

  • hellz yea thats my school rite there where he at.....

  • He is refering more to being bilingual, it increases our smarts ^^

    it took me 1 year to learn english but now i know it and i love being bilingual (exept i cant rly speak english that well yet XD)

    and i was taking italian and japanese but it was too hard on me so i will only take italian next year so i can become trilingual and learn even more languages if i can, language is power and having more than two languages is the best idea for the US i have heard on a long time

  • Obama is the change we need. Spanish is the third language more spoken worldwide, after chinese and english.

    Languages make persons better.

  • He's fucked now....... I will start speaking Spanish when I move to fucking Mexico or Spain.

  • Latinos know in order to make it in this country you need to speak English and we do learn it, it took me three months. To all my Latinos I said turn off the TV and learn a third language, Chinese, German, Korean, etc we need to be ready for this global economy.

  • Spanish is a beautiful romance language and besides many English words comes from Latin, motor, vehicle, animal, aviary. Places: Los Angeles, Florida, Orlando,Santa Monica Some come from Spanish, tacos,jalapeños,Chihuahua dog, burrito, fiesta,embargo,solo, hasta la vista amigo,café, you see? many words!! adiós.

  • THE DIDN'T SAY WE!! he said our kids. The paranoia don't let many Americans think.

  • Obama only speaks one language. He has no room to speak.

  • hahaha you're a fucking moron

  • Hm... he spoke spanish in a commercial quite well to the Puerto Ricans... plus he was in Hawai'i where they speak many languages. I'm sure just because you've only seen him speaking English, that doesn't mean he's not bilingual. He may not be completely fluent in any of them, but he does know some. So- he has plenty of room to speak.

  • En eso es lo unico que estoy de acuerdo con Obama.

  • Don´t make mistakes, they dont speak about US AS bilingual country, only he said that spanish is a historical, cultured language to be learned.

  • be cultured Americans, learn your origins... Do you know that California and Florida was discovered and colonized first  by the spaniards? Los angeles, san francisco, santa monica, san diego, all spanish names...

  • YOU STINK B.O. YOU NEW WORLD ORDER FAG

  • I wonder what else he had to say. This is obviously some dubious editing. There must have only been enough tape to record 8 seconds of video.

    Wake up America...

  • so we should learn spanish because those fucks are comming into our state illeagly?....that makes no sience......we cant go into their country and get the same benefits as them ...... so your saying if im a immagrunt in mexico than they should learn english?.......fuck off nigger

  • its people like you that makes america looks so bad in the eyes of foreigners. instead of insulting others try to use facts and your own intelligent (thats if you have any) opinion to try to prove your point. its not about forcing people to learn spanish. its about trying to become a more cultures society and by learning different languages we can become tolerant of others. its so sad to see bigoted people like yourself, when were "supposed" to set an example to the rest of the world.

  • English is the language most people learn. While it is good for anyone to be bilingual, learning Spanish is pointless. It's only Mexico and Spain. (with a couple minor countries.) If anything we need to learn Chinese/Arabic/Russian.

  • Well Mexico, Spain and that "minor countries" are part of the economy of USA because think of if none of that people traveled to USA or even bought USA things your economy would be lost.

  • Spanish is not only Mexico & Spain. In Miami nobody speak English, Orlando even New York.

    I am a registered nurse I live in Florida and I make more money in my job just because I speak Spanish, isn't that ironic? Many American doctors knows that in order to get more Hispanic patients are learning Spanish. Even a Chinese doctor I know can speak a little!

  • Read what i said..........btw i wasnt useing the racist term "nigger" for a derogitory offence i was useing it as Ignorant.....anyways back to my point.....what im saying is why learn spanish.......why should we? if they come to our country looking for the so called "freedoms" that we have than why dont they do it legaly?........if they did it legaly than we shouldent have to learn any language this includes all races......in my "Intelligent Opinion" thats what i think .......get over yourself..

  • i dont think spanish is the only language we should consider learning, and we should not be froced to learn any language if we dont want to. but it would be very benificial. it is very necessary for immigrants to learn english but i dont think they should refrain from teaching thier native language to their children or forget it themselves. also, many immigrants do try to come here legally the problem is that immigration officials take their money and never go through the legalization process.

  • I travel all over the world and it seems that you people are forgetting one major fact..english is the universal language!!!!and that was not designed by the U S A !ALSO, learn the word assimilate!!!

  • Let get rid of him in Nov.

  • This fucker is crazy

  • So, get ur facts straight buddy before you make comments of that nature. no one in this country is forced to do anyhting but pay taxes. But it would make us more tolerant and educated if we learned a different language other than english, we might even develop better global relations.

  • but they dont because they need their cheap labor. This push and pull economy has been a continous cycle since the migration of latinos into the U.S. And this "great" country receives many of our resources from latin america so speaking spanish is necessary when dealing with international affairs. and guess which other "law breaking" country is fighting in Iraq for the U.S.? El Salvador, and who worked the fields in this country for very little pension while americans fought in WWII, Mexicans.

  • first off its not about learning spanish hes just mentioning the spanish language because hes speaking at a hispanic convention. secondly ur right we should learn chinese along with many other languages. and for ur information roflolmao12321 when the westren part of the u.s. was still part of mexico the white settlers demanded that everything be translated in english when they themselves were illegal. if the U.S.realy wanted to they would deprt all of them, but the

  • English is about the 2nd-3rd top language, above it is Chinese. Let's learn Chinese instead of the language of the illegal immigrants. With China so close to being a superpower, this guy wants us to communicate with the countries that are promoting sending law breakers into our country?

  • In its full form, he wasnt just talking about spanish, he was talking about all languages. He was promoting bilingualism

  • But that is what scares so many. Knowing other languages and cultures make many very uncomfortable, whether they want to admit it or not.

  • This is the Greatest Nation in the World. I mean just look at illegal aliens they can brake the law by sneaking into our country and be awarded AMNESTY through Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Well I am living in a shit hole to, do to our economy. I want to better my life as well. So I will rob a bank and If I get caught, I will protest for Comprehensive Bank Robbing Reform.

  • What's so wrong about speaking more than one language? Why don't we just invade the whole world and make them speak English!

    Also, Obama says "Uh" because he is ACTUALLY THINKING and not just spewing the same shit. He actually thinks before he speaks.

  • Obama is saying WE should learn spanish rather than people INVADING our country learning to speak the language ALREADY SPOKEN IN THIS COUNTRY, YOU RETARD!

  • Obama: "We can insist to those already here that with citizenship come obligations--to a common language, common loyalties, a common purpose..."

    You rednecks can try to discredit him all you want, but Obama will win and the double-talk express will derail.

  • Learning a foreign language gives a child the opportunity to be able to look at the world with a different point of view, it makes their world so much richer. Animals are "monolingual", I guess many Americans want to remain at that level..

  • That is a bit over the top, equating many Americans with animals. But your point is valid. Learning other languages is helpful and (contrary to what English-only people think) doesn't mean English won't remain the primary of all Americans. It helps people understand each other and it helps economically. A company that needs people to deal with clients in other parts of the world prefers to hire those who speak the languages of those countries. English only Americans will be left out in the cold.

  • Nada, pero es equivicado por Biraq no respestan los ciudandos del estados unidos si quiere ser president de ellos. No estamos estupidos. Y OhBama es tambien equivocado que todas personas in otras paises hablan ingles y otros idiomas. Hay muchas personas en el mundo que hablan solamente un idioma.

  • pero que esta mal de aprender otro idioma? la gente de los estados perdidos esta bien tonta, no pueden accetar dinguna opinion de nadien.

  • and your edit to the whole speech is arrogant. people can view the whole thing here watch?v=BZprtPat1Vk&feature=re­lated

  • Has anyone tried to even learn a second language? I doubt it. Americans think whoever comes here should speak English with perfection. Yet when Americans go on vacation to Cancun, France ect. they expect the people there to speak English! I hope countries who don't speak English do the same shit that Americans do to foreigners. When they go to a hotel or restaurant tell them they need to speak their native language or get out! People capable of speaking numerous languages tend to be smarter.

  • Cobra392, you are one brainwashed pathetic person, and Obama should be embarrassed by people like you!!!

  • Fact is, large North and South American countries, Asian countries and ofcourse Australia, are unilingual because of the far distances between language frontiers not because of ignorance. You need immersion and regular interaction to really learn a language.

  • I respect your opinion, but I think there is no country in the world that offers more cultural interaction than the US, wich by the way is one of the things that makes it so interesting. I might be wrong, but I can see it every day

  • Zevasthian schooled you with the facts.

    That said, it still is hard to learn other languages, but our monolingualism has a lot to do with an education system that doesn't stress foreign languages very much.

  • Dont Compare America to Europe, where people live within an hours drive of another country and language. Compare America to Canada, where most people live in english speaking provinces and only speak english or compare it to Australia, or China or Japan. These are places where geography makes being unilingual the norm and perfectly acceptable. There is no reason for the masses to learn another language, but if they want to, thats nice.

  • Not to argue, but I see people like japanese, all of them are bilingual, totally isolated in an Island. and I think the US offers so much cultural interaction as no other country, I see it everyday, Im hispanic, the guy next door is philipino, italian, israeli, brazilian, chances to learn are there, in my native country you dont see this amazing 'enriched' society.

  • "don't worry about the immigrants learning English, they'll learn it, you gotta worry about your kids learning Spanish".

    They'll learn English? Why would they if our children are learning Spanish?

  • This is where his liberal ideology is exposed. I don't go to someone's house and demand that they live by my rules and customs and traditions. I observe and learn theirs and if anything, we share our traditions and customs. People who come to this country need to learn to speak English - it's part of the fundamental glue that holds our society together and makes it function effectively through communication. Millions of our tax dollars are spent printing materials and providing translators.

  • "two" -- duh, it really detracts, know what I mean?

  • Obama is foolish. I've hired lots of blacks. SOME...of them really struggle with mastery over the ENGLISH language, even while 1/2-way through college. That hinders their professional opportunities and hides their level of understanding behind the tendency to revert back to comfortable bad English & grammar. Hey, my bro had trouble two, and after HS he decided he really needed to fix that...and did! IT...HELPS...in the job market, for any race!

    Barak, wise up. You're privileged & out of touch.

  • Most people don't know our forefathers voted English by 1 vote over German-said need a national language to unify country. Spain France Italy are like driving to nearaby states-that is why bilingual.Like an accent to same words-easy them to understand each other.

  • Illegals are learning just enough English to find out were the social services office is or were is the hospital so my wife can have better health care than you or I when she has her baby and that baby gains legal status, our troubles have just begun!!!!

  • You fool, Learn German, Polish or maybe Italian. Are you for real? This arrogant son-of a true whore is only saying this to get the central American vote, do you for one second really think he cares about learning other languages? Not to worry though, I am sure as of now he is changing his mind as his handlers prepare a speech of how he did not mean it this way or that way. I truly feel sorry for you who believe in this shyster.

  • Jerk1972

    you're one of these people who back when Italians Germans Poles Irish came to US said that all they bring to US is diseases they steal American jobs remember the sings "no irish need aply"

    You're full of hate

    Probably a fan of Lou Dobbs too

    Anyhow from what I've heard Obama said is while worry about them learning english

    worry about yourself and learn other languages to be able to compete with them

    I don't understand what's wring with learning spanish german italian or polish?

  • Nothing wrong with it moron.

    It is not a Presidents place to tell us to teach our kids spanish.

    It is a Presidents place to protect us from an invasion.

    This is the USA,not Northern Mexico.

    We have a border.

    We have laws.

    We have a legal way to come here,and part of the process is Learning English.

  • The only moran I see is you Big..pile of shit.

    I suggest you get a job and work your way through istead of blaming all those immigrants legal or illegal for all your failures in your poor life.You're a loser and you know that but to feel better you blame other people for it so you say you're a loser because those immigrants that take your jobs hahahahah what a poor idiot

    get a job loser

    the world is movin you're sill in the same place

  • Actually asshole, Lou Dobbs is too Liberal for me! LOL

    There is nothing wrong with learning a language if you CHOOSE to. Thats not what i said. Expecting my family to learn Spanish to deal with people who choose to come into this country is ludicrous! Who the fuck does this HALF BLACK idiot think he is telling me that WE need to learn a language? I'm gonna paint my living room, does he want to come pick out my paint color too? Does that need to conform to his standards also? What a PRICK!

  • Lou Dobbs rocks. Everyone else sounds the same. Even O'reilly is kissing obamas ass trying to get an interview. Everything else you said is dead on though oh except he's actually 7/16 Arab 1/16 black and 8/16 white. the guy is an Arab.

    Obama would be shocked by my picking Budweiser over french wine.

  • Lou Dobbs is actually ok. i was just being sarcastic. i agree that Oreilly is working WAY too hard for a Obama interview tho I think it would be interesting to see! My point was just that why is it such a big deal for the Mexicans to learn English? All of our ancestors had to do it, why can't they? If they are so proud of their Mexican heritage that they refuse to learn, why don't they just STAY in Mexico? Its really simple. They just have to speak English!

  • Ok, so wait. They come into this country and I HAVE TO CONFORM TO THEM??????? Oh I don't think so. If they come into this country then they should learn English or go back to where they come from. Don't come into my business or my kids schools and expect my kids to learn Spanish to be able to talk to you. that is quite possibly the stupidest thing that IDIOT has said! And he has sadi ALOT of stupid things!

  • shut the fuck up u piece of shit redneck

    go to school

    get an education

    learn learn learn as Obama says

    knowledge is the power

    now you can kiss my dirty ass!!!

    buy some books go back to school if it's not 2 late for u idiot!

  • cobra you poor sheep. You keep drinking the kool aid and feeding into the liberal mantra. I on the other hand will take responsibility for my own actions. I don't need someone else telling me what is best for me. Obama is a dangerous man and he needs to be dealt with accordingly. Oh and just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm uneducated. It does mean that I'm not a brainwashed piece of garbage willing to give up personal freedom because some Liberal bigmouth says I should!

  • Obama already said they should learn English. But knowing another language is important in an increasingly interconnected globalized world. If an American company needs people who can speak Spanish to talk to clients in the Spanish speaking countries, who do you think that company will hire? The interviewee who knows Spanish or you kids who don't? Something similar can be applied to clients in China, Germany, and other countries. And us learning other languages doesn't mean not knowing English.

  • pafriedl you're stupid

    all obama wants to tell you is that learning other languages will benefit you while blaming the immigrants of not speaking english will not

    eventually all of them will learn enlish if they don't know it yet and they'll be bilingual while the only language you're speking will be english.

    listen to what obama says not what you wanna hear!!!

  • Yeah, none of that should be controversial. Many English-only people seem to think learning other languages will somehow come to the detriment of English. Just because we learn other languages doesn't mean we won't know English. Something like that is done in many parts of the world. Many Germans know English, but they of course still know German. But let's face it: a lot of this English-only crowd is really just afraid of their culture being changed. I have to say it: xenophobia.

  • Ok, I know English, ASP, VB dotNet, HTML, CSS, SQL, ActionScript and JavaScript (that's EIGHT languages). Now I have to learn f**king spanish too?

    Obama, you suck. If I wasn't so busy worknig to save money before you go all Robin Hood on my wallet, I just might try and pick up another language.

  • what point you're tryin to make ewerickson

    Obama is an itelligent man

    sometimes I think 2 intelligent to be a president of this country

    or I'll say 2 intelligent to be understood by people like you

    ofcourse we should learn other languages

    they guy makes a lot of sense

  • This comment is taken completely out of context. This was part of his point that everyone is better off for knowing a second language: you can get better jobs, etc.

  • Obama said our kids need to learn Spanish. There is nothing to take out of context.

  • Many have taken it out of context. They take it to mean immigrants shouldn't learn English and English shouln't be the primary language of the US. It should and he says as much. He was simply stressing the importance of knowing other languages in a globalized world. In international business, do you think a Japanese company would want to do business with the French company that has Japanese speakers or the Americans company that doesn't?

  • Martin,

    His message is great, I also speak Spanish. His delivery sucked. You don't tell people "you need to make sure" and you don't say Americans embarrass you.

    In your example you would need to know 4 languages. Why leave out Germany, Italy, Sweden, China yadda, yadda yadda. So do I need to learn the thousands of languages there are in the world?

    Companies that do business in other countries will still do business. Actually they have computer software that will do that now.

  • I listed those countries as examples. I didn't mean only those languages of course. And I also meant Americans collectively, not each individually. Americans knowing just one other language - whether Spanish, French, Germans, or another of the many world languages - would be a great thing.

    Computer software can translate documents into other languages, but it can't build rapport with people. Companies may or may not do business based on relationships built. To do so, it helps to communicate.
