Cinco de Mayo, a victory against the French? That’s a Holiday? Beating the French?

Could it be that Cinco de Cuatro really means Cinco de Mayo but in Swahili? Give the guy a break.

When Bush spoke halting but accurate Spanish they made fun of him. If Bush was dumb where does that leave Obie?

Yeah, it was her idiotic husband and his “issues” that gave Obama his break - with a little help from Obama’s penchant for legal maneuvering during elections.

I think he was making a joke and did it intentionally since today is the fourth. I find it hard to believe that even he would have made that mistake.

I heard a clip of this today. It sure sounded to me as though the arrogant BO was making fun of hispanics and their great victory over some French guys.

Obama should have contacted president Bush for Spanish lessons instead of being one of those people who can't speak a European language who is an embarrassment to the US.

“Cinco de Mayo, a victory against the French? That’s a Holiday? Beating the French?”

And actually, after being held up by the Mexicans at Puebla for a bit, the French went around the town and marched into Mexico City with the mayor giving them the key to the city. Maximillian then ruled Mexico until good old Uncle Sugar made the French give it up because we didn’t want a European power as a neighbor.
Cinco de Mayo is a vastly overblown holiday invented in the USA to promote self esteem among Mexican students in our schools. It was not celebrated in Mexico until CA and TX began making it an event as big as Dies y Sies de Septiembre, Mexico’s Independence Day on Sept. 16.

Austrian my friend, Austrian.

"Give the guy a break."

Truly, it'd be my my pleasure.

He can say whatever he wants. The media is not going to point out, criticize, correct or otherwise notice any linguistic mistakes the man makes. Of course, if a conservative were to misspeak...well, that’s a different matter. It is a waste of time to post gaffes by Obama. No one cares except for the few conservative, values-minded people left in the country.
