I don’t speak Nicaraguan.
I’m sure the MSM will cover this up. If necessary, by creating an Austrian language and counterfeit novels, textbooks, etc. in the Austian language. (Sort of like that DailyKos birth certificate).
oops - turns our he is German. LOL!
Obama: It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. Theres a lot of I dont 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.
Austrians speak German and Italian primarily, as well as French and Im sure some Austrians speak languages ranging from Albanian to Swahili, being an intelligent and cultured people. However, none of the speak Austrian, because it doesnt exist.
What an idiot. I guarantee you'll never hear/read this in the MSM. If a Republican said this, you'd hear it about it for decades a la Dan Quayle...
What a kartoffelkopf...
Y’all remember Zero during the election crawl making a statement mocking Americans for not being able to speak other foreign languages?
Here it is!

I failed to mention that he is a perfect representative of those who voted for him.
If Bambi would like a quick example of how an Austrian gives a proper speech in Austrian without a teleprompter, he should look here:

Doubt will ever see this mentioned. He is still doing Bush jokes.
I don’t speak Marxism, but I’m afraid I’m picking up a few words here and there by listening to our Marxist in Chief. The phrase I’m struggling with mostly is “redistribution of wealth” but MiC rolls it off the teleprompter so smoothly, like he’s been saying it all his life and believes in it. Gee, I wonder why?
Does anybody?
I was so wishing he’d said something about putting a shrimp on the barbie.
oops - turns our he is German. LOL!
Actually there is a distinct Austrian accent to the German spoken there. Native German speakers pick up on it right away.
Just like Spanish speakers can tell a Mexican from a Puerto Rican from a South American accent. My Spanish is very limited but even I can tell the Castillian accent from Spain.
JFK called himself a Jelly doughnut, but did so in German. Obama pulled an “Ich bein ein Weiner” moment, in english.
Perception of reality in many instances is as important as reality itself. “Bush =idiot, Obama=genius” reality was instrumental in bringing Obama to power. But it has limitations. It does not take into account the players outside of this system. And the real world provides schemers and intrigants that can and will eat Obama for breakfast. As Chicago machine had an advantage over less skillful players, its not a match against people that came to power in the jungles of Kremlin, Peking, Tehran, Pyongyang.
Doesn’t Osterreich mean “Eastern Nation”, implying the eastern portion of the German-speaking peoples? In fact, if memory serves me, it was renamed Ostmark (Eastern Province) in the days of the Anschluss.
Is it 'potato' or 'potatoe' in Austrian?
There is plenty of material out there...
