Jim Geraghty reports that Obama now admits he doesn’t speak another language. And via Mickey, it seems that Americans disagree with Obama by enormous margins. From Rasmussen:
4* Which is more important, encouraging all Americans to learn at least two languages or encouraging all immigrants to speak English as their primary language?
13% Encouraging all Americans to learn at least two languages press 1.
83% Encouraging all immigrants to speak English as their primary language
4% Not sure
That’s worth thinking about when you hear Obama’s crowds cheering him wildly when he says this stuff. After all, Obama insists that his movement represents a huge cross-class, transracial alliance of Americans — who all seem to agree with just 13% of Americans.
