Thread: Why does Bush Treat Spanish Speakers Special?

I'm very upset about this. This is from our White House Website.
The only thing I see on both the Spanish Version and English version is the Radio Address. I didn't get detailed about that but I wonder if the same thing was said in both languages about that. Why is it necessary to say two different things to the Spanish Speakers and the English Speakers?

It's like the Spanish version was all celebrations and social benefit talk and Americans got all the Economic and Gov. Business. Stuff the Spanish speakers care nothing about.

President Discusses Peace Agreement in Sudan
President Bush on Monday said, "Last week we saw the beginnings of hope for the people of Darfur. The government of Sudan and the largest rebel group signed an agreement and took a step toward peace. Many people worked hard for this achievement. ... We're still far away from our ultimate goal, which is the return of millions of displaced people to their homes so they can have a life without fear. But we can now see a way forward."

Definitely this President must go! Nixon lied to some and was forced to resign. This President has been lying to the WHOLE Nation and should be forced to do the same.

How can he live with himself? Doesn't he have any shame? He made us, in our own country, second class citizens.

This buffoon accomplished in so short time what no other people have ever do before: to make our proud and glorious Nation the laughingstock of the world.

Short time? No, I am mistaken. It feels like an eternity!

Don't mean this as just a smart answer, but it is simply all about family with George. Not closing the border after 9/11 was not just a lapse in judgment on his part. He made a conscious decision not to close the border. Same with almost no enforcement of immigrantion laws. Now he is more dangerous as a lame duck. If he had pulled this stuff before he would not have been elected, but now he can let his real views prevail and no loss....except to us.

George sees no problem in merging Mexico & USA and therefore merging the language.

I have accepted the fact that is the way he is.......now if I can just get over being dumb enough to vote for him!

All American, you are so right!

I'm so very mad at that man. God is my witness, I hope he goes down in History as the Worst President this Nation has ever had!!!!

Lation Gangsters running loose in our streets tomorrow at 5, while President eats more Mexican Food with Ambassador.

Bush has always been a LAZY and always on vacation leader. He spent a lot of time running the Texas Rangers, instead of governing the State of TExas for 2 terms and our country still eleceted him. Up until 9-11 he was spending a lot of time at Crawford. I tried to tell people what he was about but no one listened to me durring the campaign. Well, they elected him and I'm still dealing with him.

Dixie

I know this is a little off subject of your post.

They had new poll numbers tonight....about 32%. I hope they can fall so low that he cannot function without the support of the conservative Republicans and even middle road Republicans. Maybe then we can just make things happen oven his head. I know hard to do, but I (like others) desperate.

Why does this traitorous scumbag need to make a speech in Spanish in the first place? This is not Mexico, regardless of how much he wants to turns us into a third world Mexican colony. If he loves these Mexicans so much, why doesn't he go there and run for their presidency?

Other ethnic groups have served in the military, other groups have done far greater things for America, I don't see him making speeches in Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, etc.

This is just more of his treasonous Hispandering, illegal alien loving garbage that is turning our country into a Mexican barrio, complete with all the crime, filth, grafitti, over-population, illiteracy, corruption and poverty that Mexico represents.

The white house site in Spanish? When did we officially decide to become a bilingual nation? I don't remember voting on that, did you? Muchas gracias por nada señor presidente.

reptile,

I don't know if he did it in Spanish, considering his English skills.

This is what is posted on the "Spanish" Version of the White House Website.
