Obama Now Himself Under Bus -- Reaches Mars Orbit Insertion

clipped from hotair.com


While the Obama campaign says that Obama speaks a little bit of Indonesian,
Obama himself admits that he isn’t bilingual.

“I know because I don’t speak a foreign language. It’s embarrassing!” he
said.


So now Barack Obama has managed the impossible — he’s thrown himself
under his own bus!


And if Obama was speaking about education policy, he’d still be wrong. Most
school districts require a second language in high school, although they don’t
require it to be Spanish. Spanish wouldn’t help much in France or
Germany anyway.

To no one’s great surprise, Obama tried spinning his way out of his elitist,
snobby remarks by essentially lying about their context. He then contradicted
repeated assertions during the campaign that he spoke Spanish (he did an ad in
Spanish during the primaries). He’s flip-flopped on his own bilingual status and
called himself an embarrassment as a defense.

What a week!
