Obama can pronounce Spanish words..for real!

[skooooo]

Listening to him in front of the Cuban American groups right now. Bet he can say "Pedro" better than McCain can.

McCain is toast!

1. If he selects Dodd for VP, he'll get the best Spanish speaker in the race

Dodd worked in the Peace Corps and speaks Spanish fluently, even
better than Bill Richardson (by Richardson's own admission).

[BlooInBloo]

4. ?Mejor que Richardson?

[Cant trust em]

9. No es posible!

jajajajaja

[LSparkle]

10. Si, pero Dodd no quiere *embarassar* los otros ...

by flaunting his ability. I remember waiting for him to
show his skills during the Univision debate, and he didn't
really take advantage of it. He later admitted that he
didn't want to upstage his opponents by speaking only
Spanish during the event.

On edit: Pardon my lame attempt at Spanish above!

11. Except for a missing personal "a", it looked fine to me. :)

But it's been decades since I've been up on it - I could even be wrong about that.

[LSparkle]

12. Que es un "a" personal?

[BlooInBloo]

13. Putting an "a" in between the verb and its direct object, when the direct object is people...

... and even though it doesn't mean "to" in that instance. It's just there for no reason.

So in your case - unless I'm mistaken, it would more properly be rendered "no quiere embarassar a los otros"


EDIT: Holy crap - I got it right! woot! :rofl:

16. Que bueno!!!

This is great Spanish practice!

[panAmerican]

14. mejor dicho, "no quiere avergonzar a" los otros. Otherwise...

Your spanglization of the word embarrass looks like a typo of the word "embarazar" which means to knock up a woman, lol

[LSparkle]

15. Muchas gracias!

I'm learning a lot of Spanish today!

[BlooInBloo]

17. HAHAHA!!! Awesome!

[rucky]

2. Yeah, but he accidentally told the crowd to "vote for Pedro"

[skooooo]

3. lol..nt

[BlooInBloo]

5. "Who is this 'Hermano' character?"

:rofl:

[NewHampshireDem]

6. Martinez?

That was nice ... it would be good to send him to the All Star game one more time before he retires!

(Okay, I know pitchers are chosen by the managers, but ...)

[grantcart]

7. I thought he just told them to go to Pedro.com and contribute lol

[Thrill]

8. What a great speech. Right now

[Writer]

18. Quien es mas macho?

[Ganja Ninja]

19. I think I speak for us all when I say ...

I'll just be happy if we get a president that can speak english without sounding like a drunken cowboy with a mouthful of redman.

[BlooInBloo]

20. Put you down in the Kruk For President camp, I guess....

:P
