"But delivering a speech that was disrespectful and ignorant your audience, is beyond stupidity."

Really?  If I were a professional political consultant I would agree, but I'm just a plain ole guy from the Midwest.  To learn that a Massachusetts Mormon doesn't understand Spanish, isn't up to date on Castro's lines over the past 50 years and hasn't seen the movie Scarface just doesn't strike me as being stupid.

If the Cubans believe that the politicians that appear to "get it" or better yet, the politicians that have a staff that simply feed them the correct line for the moment at hand are somehow going to do a better job as President... well that's beyond stupid IMHO.

Did Hillary in her best southern drawl saying "I don't feel no ways tired" convince you she was respectful and educated of her audience?  Or did you see it as I did, simply pandering.  It didn't sway me one iota as to her qualifications for president.

The article is a lie and I wouldn't believe a word in it without an independent source. Scarface? What, is he supposed to have seen every move ever, ever? And what about it? I bet Hitler once said "I would like some toast." Are we never allowed to heat our bread? This is so stupid.

Mitt was just trying to parrot the speech that was written for him. Of course he showed that he DIDN'T understand or know anything about the "passionate" speech he attempted to deliver or the people he was talking to.

As Ana said: EMPTY SUIT.

A candidate MUST work with all groups. To dismiss his spanish and ignorance and say that it didn't matter is silly. If it didn't matter, why did he even TRY to speak in spanish? He should have stuck to his native tongue and saved himself embarassment.

As for not knowing about Cuba and Castro, he is speaking to Cuban Americans, and he is the one who brought up Cuba and Castro! He could have stuck to the theme of American immigration, but he delved into waters that were too deep for him. I want my presidential candidate to be intelligent enough to avoid these big mistakes.

Hillary and Romney both were pandering. And I wouldn't vote for either one of them. They are playing sleezy politics. I'm not impressed.
