News Conference By President Obama (Thinks Austrian is a language!!!)

Talking Points Memo/White House ^ | April 3 | Obama

[PghBaldy]

Q Sonja Sagmeister from a little country, Austria, from Austrian Television. Mr. President, you said you came here to learn and to listen. So a quite personal question -- what did you learn from your personal talk with the European leaders? And did this change in a certain way your views on Europe and its politics?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It's an interesting question. I had already formed relationships with many of them. ... There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing -- and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

Well, let’s not get TOO fussy.

[sthguard]

Heh. I sent it to my dad, who has both a PhD in German and a massive set of delusions about Zero’s intelligence and leadership ability.

O and his wife are a complete embarrassment to this country. I am heartsick.

[Bainbridge]

Apparently he has not even seen
“ The Sound of Music”
Perhaps Gordon Brown could send
him a DVD.................

THANK you!

[LibertyRocks]

Definitely agree with that... The links at the bottom of the entries, are usually a good place to start research as well. But, relying on anything like “WikiANswers” or “YahooAnswers”, or any of the like, IMHO, is reckless, and lazy...

Like you said, if it concerns politics — AT ALL — chances are the information you read there (besides hard bio facts - DOB, etc...) are completely twisted and biased.

LOL — I missed that part. How funny...

[Homer_J_Simpson]

What a maroon. Everybody knows they speak Swiss in Austria.

[nufsed]

I riddled this to my exchange student who spoke four languages:

What do you call a person who speaks 3 languages?

Tri-lingual.

Two languages?

Bi-lingual

One language?

American

[LibertyRocks]

Just to let you know... I’ve looked at a bunch of your past posts over the last few years (all on one page). I find your selection of topics to comment on very interesting... And, some of your comments interesting as well. [PETA, Animal Issues, Libby, Plame... and now defending Obama... VERY interesting...]

Obama is proving to be the clown prince of presidents, stupid to the power of 10, and a national disgrace.

[SumProVita]

“Just who is “the power behind the throne, so to speak.”

SOROS and perhaps a few others.

From the CIA World Factbook :

Languages:

German (official nationwide) 88.6%, Turkish 2.3%, Serbian 2.2%, Croatian (official in Burgenland) 1.6%, other (includes Slovene, official in Carinthia, and Hungarian, official in Burgenland) 5.3% (2001 census)

I hadn't read that far into the responses, but that's exactly the quote I had in mind, thanks.

[KansasGirl]

Any member of Wiki can edit those answers. An Obamabot put an incorrect answer (lied) to cover for Obama. They think they are so clever and just because they tell a lie, it makes it true. Of course, they count on people being too dumb to know the difference,

[RDTF]

LMAO - priceless

[ari-freedom]

Oh, so *that’s* what they teach at the “Austrian School”...

too bad Obama didn’t learn there

[headsonpikes]

Afterward, Obama expostulated: “That’s not the TOTUS I knew!”

“Under the bus!”
