President Barack Obama admitted Friday in a radio interview broadcast that he yearns for a "weird superpower"—the ability to speak any language. But flying might be cool, too.
Obama, speaking to the "Morning Mayhem" crew on 93.3 KOB FM in Albuquerque, also came out in favor of red chili over green, said the best advice he ever got was "be persistent" and revealed that he has never heard the original version of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" but has watched a gone-viral video of himself performing it. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s an incumbent president in a tough fight for re-election! (Larry Downing/Re …
So what superpower would the most powerful man in the world like to have, one of his questioners asked, noting that parts of "The Avengers" were filmed in New Mexico.
"It's kind of a weird superpower, but if I had something that I could immediately wish for, I would love to be able to speak any language," the president said.
"Now, that's a weird superpower—it might not come in handy to rescue folks from a burning building," he added. "But I've always wished that whatever country I went to, wherever I met somebody who spoke a different language, that I could right away speak their language."
"I'm a big believer in making connections with people. But if it's like an 'Avengers' superpower, then I think the whole flying thing is pretty good," he said. "You can't beat just kinda swooping around. That looks like it'd be fun."

How about “able to propose balanced budgets”?
Or is that too far fetched?
Jesus Christ.
He is a f-ing child.
He still has yet to master Austrian.
A man-child with abandonment issues as both of his parents ran out on him.
I guess being the anti-Christ isn’t enough for him?
How arrogant.
I just want to be able to run again, or play guitar proficiently.
When darkness had descended all across the land
A lone voice in the distance uttered “Yes, we can!”
He gave good speeches, never sweat; he was real good at the Internets (plural intended, remember George Bush?)
He’s Barack Obama, he’s come to save the day!
He passed a major stimulus for the Bourgeois,
Then said he’d half the deficit, “He He! Ha Ha!”
Stop unemployment, market dives, fix healthcare in his spare time,
He’s Barack Obama, he’s come to save the day!
He’ll use his super powers to win in Iraq
Then kung-fu chop the Taliban, Ka-chow! Ka-cha!
Our image in the world he’ll mend, and make the Jews and Arabs friends,
He’s Barack Obama, he’s come to save the day!
(Barack sits at desk in Oval Office, telephone rings)
(Voice on the phone): Sir, we’ve got a situation.
(Obama): Pirates!!
(Superhero Barack Obama unbuttons his shirt, reveals his superhero outfit underneath, and flies off like Superman.)
He’ll spend the dough, write the checks,
Disregard the mounting debt
Stop the globe from getting warm,
Fill your car with nuts and corn.
Leap a building, run industry,
Save a kitten from a tree,
Fix the schools, go to space,
Punch a robot in the face.
Stop a train, wrestle bears,
Smoke a butt, we don’t care!
Cuz you’re Barack Obama, you’ve come to save the day!
So just snap your fingers, and fix the U.S.A.!!
My wife likes to keep the tv on fox news. Every time I walk into the room and see this ass clown on the screen I become trilingual. I immediately switch from my native english to obscenity and sign language.

Zer0's not as dumb as he looks - if you're planning to rule the world, that would be an immensely useful superpower indeed.
Obama is a child
If he wants to pretend to be a Christ figure, he can proclaim the desire to speak in all tongues if he wishes.
He doesn’t even know what languages are spoken in which nations to begin with.
I wonder what super power Mittins would like.
