WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Friday the national anthem should be sung in English - not Spanish - in a blunt rejection of a new Spanish-language version. He also expressed opposition to a national work stoppage called for Monday to dramatize the importance of immigrants to the U.S. economy.
``I'm not a supporter of boycotts,'' Bush said, while restating his support for a comprehensive overhaul of immigration laws.
Bush made his comments at a Rose Garden news conference as a Spanish-language version of ``The Star-Spangled Banner,'' hit the airways featuring artists such as Wyclef Jean, hip-hop star Pitbull and Puerto Rican singers Carlos Ponce and Olga Tanon.

Ping!
....and for good reason too.
Well, finally something Jorge Bush is willing to draw the line at!!!
No kidding. I wonder where he borrowed the nads to make that statement.
Anyone wanting my translation of the Mexican national anthem can FReepmail me.
It was an easy answer that wouldn't cause him too much trouble with his buddies to the south.
So he's EEEEVEEEEEEL and we should impeach him, right?
Try it in your own country not ours!
If he sings like he dances I know why he said it!
Well at least he's moving in the right DIRECTION.
Whoop-de-doo. That'll chase 'em all back to Mexico! President Bush sure is brave!
(Now what's he going to do to get those darn invaders out of our country?)

"No kidding. I wonder where he borrowed the nads to make that statement"
AH...so he's an EEEEEVEEEEL eunich and we should DEFINITELY impeach him
Hint ponies, he always liked immigration, but always faught againt the second language thiny. FIY. Carry on...you will anyway.
I for one was glad to hear him say that, at least it is a start in the right direction. We need to support him especially when he shows support for us and not the illegals.
Well, Jorge eats guardliars for breakfast.
This really makes me want to puke. Now that they are in the habit of DEMANDING things and getting their way, they feel they can replace our national anthem too.
So he's the one who opened the floodgates?
Yeah. Impeach him. He lied about defending our country from foreign invasion. When he took the oath, he must have had his fingers crossed.
AMEN AMEN AMEN
