Obama Steps on Political Land Mine!

July 10, 2008

Contact: ALIPAC, press@alipac.us (866) 703-0864

Following the hard lessons of New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's failed attempt to give licenses to illegal aliens and John McCain's close call with political destruction for supporting Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty in 2007, Barack Obama has stepped on a political land mine by stating Americans should be forced to learn to speak Spanish.

YouTube videos showing his speech have gone viral and the new media is quickly distributing his comments, which are opposed by approximately 4 out of 5 Americans according to Rasmussen Report polling from last month, which shows Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English as their primary language. Just 13% take the opposite view and say it is more important for Americans to learn other languages.

Obama says in the video “instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English,” Americans “need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.”

You can view the video at this link. This copy has gone viral and already been viewed over 200,000 times in one day reaching the #1 most discussed and #2 most viewed video on Youtube!

"Americans are sick and tired of pressing 1 for English and being forced to pay for this liberal corporate social engineering experiment," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Immigrants should ingratiate themselves and speak English because English is the language of the United States. The English language and the fact all Americans have shared a native tongue is an essential part of the equation that has made America such a successful nation. Obama is completely out of touch on immigration issues just like McCain."

English as the official language of the United States is part of ALIPAC's Platform found at www.alipac.us since polls show a super majority of Americans feel the same way on this facet of the immigration debate.

I already caught this nonsense on Yahoo. Obama continues to become the worse of two evils...
The article felt at least somewhat on our side.

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080709/20080709005894.html?.v=1

Ending snipet mentions another group I support:
Twice in the last three years, the U.S. Senate passed measures to make English the national language and to reduce multilingual entitlements. Legislation is currently pending in both the House and the Senate that would make English the official language. One bill, H.R. 997, the English Language Unity Act, has nearly 150 bi-partisan co-sponsors.

U.S. English, Inc. is the nation’s oldest and largest non-partisan citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. Founded in 1983 by the late Sen. S.I. Hayakawa of California, U.S. English, Inc. can be found on the web at: www.usenglish.org

If Obama keeps this up, the hispanics will be the ONLY group voting for him. What an idiot.

With Jesse Jackson's "nuts" comment and Obamas FISA vote, we will have to work VERY hard to make sure Obama's speak spanish statement is given the national media coverage it so deserves.

This was on Lou Dobbs yesterday and he was highly upset about it....said hundreds of languages were being spoken in the U.S. today so does this mean people have to come here and learn English and Spanish in order to understand people.

He showed pictures of towns in the U.S. that had all Spanish signs and spoke mostly Spanish.

great segment he did on it, and he made a great point.

Why is it that Spanish speaking people are being catered to and allowed to integrate their language into American society but others are not....and if they were, imagine the mess! of course doesn't take much of an imagination since it is happening with Spanish as we speak.

He also had a poll last night. IF I'm not mistaken, it was 96% think English should be our official language.

For a man who claims to "love his country" he sure has trouble finding anything good about it. Seems to me his true feelings reflect that of Rev. Wrights "GD America" Can he be any more arrogant?

because we have and are literally being invaded by Hispanics and of course i have nothing against Latinos per se but those who have perpetrated this infamy on Americans. It is my understanding that:

1) 40 % of visas to legal immigrants go to Hispanics
2) 40% of all legal immigrants are Hispanics

WHY? Who is controlling this?

And of course isn't at least 80% of ALL illegal aliens are Hispanics?

How on earth is this ethical, moral, good for America. This is a conspiracy to create a New Latin America, pure and simple!

I was soooo angry when I heard this yesterday that I had to turn off Lou Dobbs! I mean, Americans are stuck with these 2 Amnesty candidates. How sad!

I just sent Obama an email. We should all copy and paste William's post and sent it to everyone on our email list.

I saw this U Tube video yesterday...can't remember where I first found out about it - might have been on CNN or Fox. I have emailed the Obama campaign and told them how disgusted I feel about being told to FORCE my kids to learn Spanish. I have also sent a comment to U Tube expressing my opinion also. I am beyond being shocked by anything Obama says any more. He is an incompetent traitor to the United States of America.

Thanks for the videos florgal. Everytime I watch one I get more angry. Who does Obama think he is?

We all know why the Por-illegal crowd don't want ENGLISH as the official language don't we?

We know if ENGLISH were the official language the illegals would stick out like sore thumbs because everytime they opened their mouths people would look and say, THEY ARE ILLEGAL.

Everytime a police officer pulls someone over that can't speak or understand ENGLISH, the police officer knows, THEY"RE ILLEGAL!

Everytime a EMPLOYER hires someone that can't understand or speak ENGLISH, they know, ITS ANOTHER ILLEGAL.

That is the only reason why these politicians like Obama don't want ENGLISH as the official language of this country beacause it SHOWS US WHO THE ILLEGALS ARE. And they don't want that do they?

They say its good for business, but in reality only if your doing business in a country where the language is the dominant language would it be helpful.

Any idiot kows when people speak the same langage it cuts down on waste, fruad, accidents and court proceedure's and makes AMERICA and BUSINESS IN AMERICA more efficient. I thought we are trying to compete on a global scale? If we could just cut out the double and triple printing of all these different languages that goes along with products, wouldn't that cut cost and make us more competetive?

I guess cutting the cost of printing compared to having cheap illeterate illegal workers doesn't compare.
