Somehow I don't think this YouTube will go over well in certain parts of the country. In some others, it will be fine.

But as RedState notes, the kicker for me is when Obama says he is embarrassed by Americans. Now, I understand the point he is making, but considering the plight of the Dixie Chicks, and his wife (being proud of America for the first time) the words embarrassment and America should not be in the same paragraph in any of his speeches. I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that Obama does not do well off the cuff.

On the English only stuff, it's not something I ever worry about. English is the most dynamic dominant global language the human race has ever seen. I wouldn't worry about it, English will take care of itself. That being said, since I already know the most important language to know, why take the time to learn another language?*

*In anticipation of the likely comments, this part was tongue in cheek.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
