In a 2007 interview with the New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer in a perfect Arabic accent, and then went on to say that the Muslim call to prayer is “The prettiest sound on earth” Mitt speaks French "SO WHAT" The French didn't bring down our World Trade Center!!
Okay, I don't like Romney or any Republican, but I think this is plain stupid. I think being able to speak another language is a PLUS! Of course the Democrats are trying to play on the anti-French prejudiced fueled by Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, but I think this is a case of sinking to the lowest common denominator. Ignore the stupid asses, don't play their game!
I'm from the province of Quebec Canada so (French-Canada) and we have a border with the state of New-Hampshire, but I don't understand why the French-Bashing is so strong in the US...
France didn't deserve this hostility and hatred.. you can laughs about the French it's OK, but if you do that with the others comunities, like Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Jews,..we will call you racist.
it's not the French who gave as a gift one of the greatest symbole of the US the statue of liberty ?
quel grand tas de merde! (what a big pile of sh-t!) why in the hell does it matter if he speaks french? good for him i say! that means nothing will get lost in the translation, dont it?!? i would be more concerned though if he was unable to form complete sentences!( regardless of what language he spoke! )
thats no different than the republicans mantra of english only that they were so into when they were talking about hispanics. I do think that knowing more than one language, whatever it is is a good thing. Both parties are full of hypocrites. We need a good third party.
We truly live in an insane society. So now we must be uneducated to run for President of the USA. Well at least that won't be a problem for most of the Republican contenders. With Bachmann slightly ahead of the rest.
@dellboy99 yeah dude, this is beyond ridiculous. I don't like the presidential candidate but for people to be upset because he knows french? Seems like people should see that as a positive thing, knowing a foreign language and all.
I thought the Republicans were the stupid baddies?! Romney can express his ideas in my beautiful language or yours, I'll still think his ideas are rubbish!
I'd say speaking french is the only thing he's got going for him. People need to remember the french helped America split away from the British. Americans that hate the french do it out of total ignorance. Anyone want to contest that?
I love how they play Edith Piaf in the background :)

Strange that people are trying to bash him for that. It actually shows he is smart for being able to still speak french after so long.

I hear he also graduated from the fourth grade
and can count to 20 without taking off his shoes.
All of those items are disqualifiers in the
Republican Primary according to Newt.
