Bill Richardson: "Obama is an immigrant"

"Barack Obama is the best candidate for the Hispanic community because our community wants a united country. Obama is an immigrant. When he speaks to Latinos, he doesn't just speak about immigration and civil rights..."

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

On the Youtube, he definitely says “Osama es un emigrante.”

There you have it.

Babelfish does literal translations. Poor at grammar. Completely incompetent with respect to idioms and cultural significance.

Should Credit Jarofants for the find..

That’s already been done - we elected a man who said (in Germany) that he is a “citizen of the world.”

[Myrddin]

Gee Whiz - Obama can't even put people in his own cabinet that can keep a SECRET!!!! That's someone I would trust with secret government information!NOT!!!! Sounds like its gonna be a fun 4 years!

Sorry...I meant Obama.

Is there a difference?

I have found I am making that mistake more and more these days.

Thank you for calling my attention to it.

Thanks, I was wondering if he said ‘Es Un Inmigrante’ or ‘Este Un Inmigrante’ folks may take the latter for him saying he is an immigrant when the sentence would actually translate as ‘this immigrant’ (ie Richardson relating the term immigrant to the first person- himself.)

[LiberConservative]

I heard him say this, too. This was weeks ago. I think it was on Quinn and Rose.

[Myrddin]

Jim, have John take a look at what happened to the "to" name field in post number 26. The letter U with accent grave was mistranslated in the reply process. It didn't hurt my reply, but it may introduce a problem if used as a search key in another context.

[traderrob6]

Doubtful considering Bill Richardson was born in Pasadena, CA.

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

Bill Richardson was born in CA. He wouldn’t be talking about himself.

[HomeschoolMomma]

Okay, so how does THIS get to the Supreme Court - or do we just sit here

AND BANG

Not much difference. I'll bet Osama has a better academic record and is a better marksman with a rifle.

[mnehring]

True, but if he said este (he didn’t, just if he did) he may be referring culturally to himself as from a family of immigrants. It was pointed out that he said ‘Es’ instead of ‘Este’ so this is simply a trivial comment on my part.

[Blu By U]

Did you guy’s notice ( FRANCE 24) at the bottom. Must have been French news. How come we did get that information coming over our MSM?

Betcha can guess the answer to that....

[mnehring]

See 37, just an academic discussion since he didn’t say ‘este’.. If he did say este, it would be like my saying I am Scottish, no I’m not a citizen, just come from a family with Scots in it.. he could have been saying he is from an ‘immigrant’ family...

But he didn’t say ‘este’ so this is just a trivial point, academic only..

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Thank you, Myrddin.

That has been a problem for sometime and didn’t know how to correct it.

I mentioned it to one of those monitors back then. I was not disappointed because I had expected nothing was going to be done about it.

Thank you again for your help.
