My children will learn another langauge, but it will be a language of their choosing not barack obamas, and certainly not pro illegal immigration groups such as la raza (to whom obama and mccain both pander to).
If obamas speech was directed to the NEA, and if the purpose of his speech was to assure funds for public schools to teach spanish as well as mandarin, german, french and russian that would be one thing. And it would be a great thing. What obama was doing was making a play at hispanic 'rights' groups that insist making english the official language of the USA is discriminatory while at the same time wanting spanish to become a de facto lingua franca. And they are having great success at that.

It was a GOOD suggestion...

good at languages???? Then you should know what "suggestion" means.
It didn't sound like a suggestion to me; sounded like that's the way he thinks it should be. Which I would expect from someone who doesn't really like America anyway. Which is why I'm not voting for him.

People coming here need to learn English, that is out language.

Sure its nice to be able to understand other languages but I will not learn it to be able to speak and communicate with those who cannot speak english.

If they cannot speak english, they are the ones who need to learn it.

So you libs who defend this, shouldn't those coming here be forced to learn our language? I say yes.

I am for an ALL english speaking, writting, saying America. If you can speak all those other languages good for you, it is a plus.

But I do not want to half to hear the words, english or spanish everytime I call someone. Or see spanish on my kids school newspaper, or see spanish on every drive through. Time to stop this nonsense.

English only. You should be required to learn my langauge, not me learning yours.

Perhaps in your haste to type another partisan bon mot you didn't read the whole sentence "barack and mccain both pander to"
I imgine I can put both palin and biden on that list too. How about Pelosi? W certainly has pandered his way throught the various hispanic lobbys...including the actual mexican government.

I hate to burst your bubble, but neither party has clean hands, and both parties have been and are happily selling out our country (which means you and I) in their quest for personal power and money.

Don't anyone kid themselves that the Obamas won't force "incentives" on people to toe the mark to their marxist agendas. As Michelle has so aptly stated, the Bams have "requirements" for us all....
