Hmm..Didn't Obummer know that The USA does not consist of 57 states? How long has he lived in America before saying that? Of course that was just 1 of many embarassing unintelligent ramblings from that colossal idiot obummer

*Shrug* Still no legal official language, no matter what anyone thinks it should be or what convention is. You can say you think it should be, lobby someone to make it so or the like. We currently do not have an official language.

mija quit! what is a "legal" official language? all languages are legal in the U.S. under the first amendment.

the official language in the U.S. is ENGLISH. You need to speak English to graduate HIGH SCHOOL and College. English is the official language of our government and laws.....if that's not the "legal" language of this country then I don't know what is.

Puerto Rico is a 95% Spanish-speaking territory.

That is not "American" regardless of what some document somewhere says.

So you comparing apples and oranges is laughable.
He still gave a bad person legitimacy.

I am probably too old to be your daughter, if not possibly older than you. Not Hispanic either.

We have not. Some states have, but not the nation. That's all. Someday maybe we will.

No, the unofficial and default language of America is English . English has never been officially proclaimed the language of the US. That's what official means, that it has been declared as such by a bill or law . That has not happened and probably never will .
