Wow! Obama has the Spanish accent DOWN update: Here's the Video

[flamingdem]

He did that ad so well, whew, we are saved in Florida, I swear!

This was just played during an Ed interview with Annette Taddeo.

..... he had to work hard to pull that off I am sure of that

[Mponti]

1. Fantastic, Senor Obama

[kiri]

23. I want you to know that I hear Spanish voices

This was very bad. He should have started off saying, "I don't speak Spanish well, but I am trying. But I want you to know that I hear Spanish voices as well as Anglo voices."

Pandering by pretending to speak Spanish is awful.

[BVictor1]

27. Could have been worse, right?

[phylny]

30. Quite the contrary.

I speak Spanish enough to get by, and most of the families I work with are thrilled that I'm making an effort. His accent is excellent, and he rolls his rs well.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. "This was very bad."

It's not like the Dems lack Latinos to voice coach.

Romney would call for the gardener.

[MADem]

32. It was not. It was great. I hear Spanish voices in my FAMILY, and he did fine.

Antes que hablar, pensar.

[patricia92243]

2. For those of us that cannot speak Spanish, could you let us know what it says???

[flamingdem]

5. I will later, can't now put I just posted the English

article about the ad here.

8. I got "Volunteer" in there!

3. Obama Speaks Spanish in New Ad, Calls Undocumented Students an Inspiration

President Barack Obama features undocumented immigrants in a new campaign ad that he does entirely in Spanish.

Titled “Buen Ejemplo,” which means “good example” in Spanish, Obama touts young undocumented immigrants known as DREAMers as people he admires and who inspire him. Their drive and determination, the ad suggests, serve as a good model for everyone.

Obama in June announced a new initiative that involved suspending deportation for two years for undocumented immigrants between ages 15 and 31 who were brought as minors and who have no criminal record, among other things. The initiative, known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, also offered the chance to obtain work permits.

4. he really does

bush's texas twang spanish often made me cringe - though he did really seem to have learned a basic conversational level. i will give him credit for that. but his pronunciation was aweful and he once thanked supporters for their "pollo" instead of "apoyo"

[flamingdem]

6. His accent is so good for a new speaker he must have been studying

It's remarkable because I heard him try this a few years ago and it was muy malo!

[Fawke Em]

9. I took years of French, not Spanish, but isn't "pollo," "chicken?"

Bush thanked people for their chicken?

[arely staircase]

12. yeah. in el paso during his reelection for governor campaign.

he thanked them for their chicken - as opposed to apoyo (help.)

[ywcachieve]

18. Fawke Em, SO funny!

@ Bush thanked people for their chicken?

[flamingdem]

10. Oh you're kidding that is hysterical, pollo = chicken of course as in Pollo Loco

lol

[arely staircase]

13. nope, not kidding

i was there.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. Bush once called the Spanish Prime Minister "Mr. Goose"

Instead of calling him Señor Aznar he called him Ansar (a Spanish word for goose).

7. That is a Brilliant Ad! I can't believe how Good he is

with the Spanish just flying out of this mouth!

And, Michelle and he at the end Approving is Awesome!

Muchas Gracias, flamingdem!

[flamingdem]

11. De nada Cha!

El gusto es mio

[OldDem2012]

14. If you're asking for the vote, speak the language of those you're trying to convince....

....very well done!

[a la izquierda]

15. Can't watch the video...

But I've heard him introduce Spanish commercials in Ohio, and his accent sounds good.

[uponit7771]

16. I have NO IDEA what he said but the non verbals of that ad are SPOT ON. Also, he doesn't sound like

...he just started speaking Spanish.

Anyone know if this was voice over?

WOW...smart people in the white house

[ywcachieve]

20. Yep, our President Obama is SO smart.

I love him.

[Maximumnegro]

17. Now he's speaking Spanish. He must be desperate

trying to cling to the Latino vote after losing the debate!



I'm sorry but at this point I am going to go full CT and say Obama's confidence at this point
makes me feel this thing is in the bag. Such a bad@ss. He's a better president than we deserve. Love the dude.

[ErikJ]

19. Too bad for Robme no French in Florida.

[mckara]

21. Que Bueno, Senor Presidente!

At least, much better than me:

[SheilaT]

22. Ummm, is there any reason to think he might have taken

Spanish in high school or college?

[flamingdem]

24. pienso que no

I think not because his espanol was pretty bad a few years ago

[flying-skeleton]

26. Fat lot of good that is doing in the polls !!!

[BeyondGeography]

28. You mean the ones that show Obama continuing to receive 70% of the Latino vote?

Wanker.

[flamingdem]

29. tu eres un idiota!
