I think it's pretty amusing Newt touts English as the official language of government, yet goes down to Mexico and speaks to a crowd of Mexicans regarding immigration reform....in fluent Spanish!

Good for him!!! Thomas Jefferson was also fluent in a number of languages.

Mr. Obama does not speak Spanish.

How is that amusing? It’s impressive that our Presidential nominee can speak a foreign language fluently.

Maybe he can speak Austrian too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only good business to be able to communicate more efficaciously with potential clients/customers/patrons/voters.

My son is working towards his MBA and I am thankful he has a Chicano wife to teach him American Spanish—certainly money speaks in all languages but knowing the various dialects definitely gives you an advantage..

I do not see anything wrong or amusing. Newt wants immigrants to speak English in the United States. He is applied the same standard to himself and spoke Spanish in Mexico.

Advocating an official language does not mean that people.cannot, or even should not, learn another language. Many of our founding fathers were multilingual.
