    Did you hear the Dave Letterman joke about it?

    Summarized:

    Obama bloopered in Spanish when we said "Cinco de Quatro" instead of "Cinco de Mayo." He apologized and explained that he knows about 15 words in Spanish. And is that really so bad? After all, President Bush only spoke about 15 words of English...

    wink

    There is an even funnier joke going around in Spanish about this. Its a clever pun on bad tequila with Obama as the worm - and its definitely NSFW.

    Most of the Bush clan is fluent in Spanish and spend a lot of time in Central and South America. Its interesting to listen to our babysitter and her family talk politics.

    Austin, I'm drawing a blank on what "NSFW" means. GWB is fluent in Spanish and his first visit out of country as a president was to Mexico, deviating from the traditional first visit to Canada. I couldn't believe how much people were upset by that.

    I think Letterman's joke falls flat after hearing B.O. when his teleprompter fails.
