What Obama fails to see, is that in Europe it's necessary to know more
than one language. You are surrounded by 5 or 6 different countries,
cultures and language. In the United States you have a mostly English
speaking neighbor to the north, and a Spanish speaking neighbor to the
south. We don't need to know Spanish, it's nice if you do... but it's
not necessary. It always scares me when a political candidate
compares European lifestyle to American lifestyle as if theirs is so
much better. If their lifestyle is so much better, why do they keep
coming here ?
