Bush Opposes Singing Anthem in Spanish
Guardian ^ | 04.28.06

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.

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!

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.

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.

Yeah. Impeach him. He lied about defending our country from foreign invasion. When he took the oath, he must have had his fingers crossed.
