I admire his effort, to speak Spanish, as bad as it sounds. Yes, it does show how he cares enough to try to communicate with his fellow Spanish-speaking New Yorkers. If anything, as a politician, he supports the idea of Immigration, to allow minorities to come to America. He understands this country was built by immigrants.
It's amazing that the mayor took the time to learn Spanish to be able to speak directly to his Latino constituents. Now i may not agree with Bloomberg on much, but this shows he genuinely cares about his job and the people he serves. Kudos to him!
OMG what an insult to the Spanish Language !!! He is suppose to be an educated and rich man but he is so ignorant !!!! Amazing. I believe he is the Mayor of New York City. He better speak in English.
First people complain that Americans, specifically politicians don't spend enough time immersing and integrating with other cultures, and they're stupid for it. Then people complain that they're not doing it right. This is WHY they don't integrate. Seriously, fuck you guys.
WTF?? he's a superidioto. Shut the fucko upo mayor bloomberg!!! Cállate, imbécil! Or rather keep hurting the Spanish language so we can all have some free entertainment seeing what an idiot you make of yourself. Lmao.
@dalifer anyone who tries to learn another language is showing respect or at least awareness for another culture. I personally am native english, and have been struggling to learn spanish the last two years, it's not easy.. just because you've been blessed to be bilingual from childhood, doesn't give you the right to mock someone. I hear plenty of latinos struggling to learn english, and I don't laugh at them on the street.. I respect anyone who tries, and I don't see why anyone else wouldn't..
"Los vehiculos que fueron abandonados en la calle durante la tormenta nos han difucultado la limpieza pero estamos todo lo posible y estamos usando todos (?) que tenemos, este es el esfuerzo de limpieza mas grande que ha visto nuestra ciudad"
As Spanish teacher I do admire his big effort to speak Spanish specially at his age...at least he speak two language now ..there is nothing worse than people who only speak one language...I like Mr Mike Bloomberg and keep the good work
This was supposedly an emergency. If he really wanted to send an important message to Spanish-speaking New Yorkers, why didn't he just get a fluent Spanish speaker to read the statement? If you're trying to give people information that might save their lives you should make it as lucid and coherent as possible. This asshole is just so arrogant that he'd rather pretend he knows Spanish. He's like Peggy from King of the Hill.
@CrazyOldMaurice69 My friend, you hit it on the nail but you don't get any thumbs up as much as the dicks who suck his dick becuase most people are brainwashed, especially latins who think he actually respects them when he actually is just pandering. He's a shithead.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
We live in America. Last I knew English was the language on record here. Why is he trying to speak a foreign language here? Who is he trying to impress? The illegals?
@nonijohn1 As hard as this may be to believe, in an emergency caused by a hurricane, making sure everybody gets out safely is more important than preserving America's status as an English-speaking nation. It's also more important than worrying about whether your Spanish-speaking accent sucks.
I actually understood him, not bad at all. I admire him for trying to speak in Spanish, I hope other politicians follow his example. One of you mentioned that it would've been better if someone had translated his message in spanish, but I think Bloomberg by actually trying makes it more humble. Some individuals some not all who are from Hispanic decent don't even want speak in Spanish, at least he is trying! GOOO BLOOMBERG KUDOS TO YOU! hope you keep speaking in spanish ; )
I'm a Mexican living in NYC, and you know what? I think it's pretty kick ass that he tried to speak Spanish at these conferences. He recognized that there are a lot of people in this city whose first language is Spanish, and tried to accommodate himself for them in the best interest of their safety.
Yeah, his accent is horrendous, but it's better than telling Spanish-speaking people that they don't belong here, as many have.
Considering the whole REASON he's doing this is due to all the Spanish speakers in his state who CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, I'd say he deserves props for even having the patience to do this.
Guys, his spanish is bad yeah I know, but I actually understood what he tried to say. We always complain about the racism or how are we left out, but now we criticize him for trying to speak spanish? who cares if it is bad, at least he is trying.
It would be great if the first question was in Spanish and asshole mayor wouldn't be able to answer because the answer wouldn't be spelled out for him phonetically.
The asshole has a terrible accent, but I understood every word.
