Sounds like Obama had a "dumb blonde" moment.


Hehe, there was this one time, I was thinking if fish got thirsty.

We, the Obamatrons, are clearly more advanced and in touch with the rest of the world, than the rest of you. But, don't let an opportunity slip by. Here's an opportunity to learn "
How To Speak Australian".

These nerds are "advanced" and "in touch"?

I'll mention to the other professors I touch base with at conferences who are from down under that I speak Australian. See what they say...

the bots are constitutionally incapable of admitting any error by obama.

it's the way they're programmed at the factory, apparently.

You are correct, of course. Doesn't this denial/spin illustrate perfectly the lack of brain power of your typical obamunist?

To ask seriously if the language of America is american? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

That is awesome Einstein, but do you really think you've changed any of the moronic minds on this forum? Doubtful, verrrry doubtful. I admire your effort though.
Changed minds? Into believing that Austrian is a language? Only an obamabot would believe that - and you are perfect example.

Pretending to be a globetrotter won't sell any rational person here.

There is an Austrian dialect, but if you speak regular old German, you'll be fine.

If the worst thing that President Obama does is say Austrian is a language .. well golly gee willikers, that's it??? Did he assault the leader of their country by giving them a shoulder massage? Did he refer to them as "old Europe"? Did he do a soft shoe at the end of the speech?
This thread is so ironic to me, personally. Just yesterday I was at church, and during the fellowship hour, a young woman gave a slide show of her trip to Austria that was sponsored by 4-H. Getting to the point, she said that the German spoken in Austria is much different from the German spoken in Germany, almost a different language altogether (much like the various dialects of Chinese). She also said the Austrian German varied in different parts of the country, so she'd learn a word in one part, only to find out no one knew what she was talking about in another part of Austria.

From the CIA factbook:

Languages:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/graphics/dictionary.jpg (broken link)https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/graphics/listing.jpg (broken link)
German (official nationwide) 88.6%, Turkish 2.3%, Serbian 2.2%, Croatian (official in Burgenland) 1.6%, other (includes Slovene, official in Carinthia, and Hungarian, official in Burgenland) 5.3% (2001 census)

I guess our CIA boys need more funding - they missed the "Austrian" language.
