1. that's going to be kind of weird

all these Chinese people talking like Obama. They should have videos that show them how to walk like him too.

2. Cool!

That's one way to learn English and to spread good will and restore our sorry place throughout the world.

3. Just goes to show that Obama isn't a Muslin, he's a Communist.

And I'm series!

Some of the comments are interesting:

Jonathan Says:
I know I guy here in Hunan who always carries around a copy of Obama’s election night speech in his man purse. He always has it.

Matthew Stinson Says:
Makes sense, before that people were selling learn English from Tony Blair recordings and also Bill Clinton. Strangely enough, no one wanted to learn English from W. ;-)

Ben Ross Says:
Wow. This should be a lot more effective than those “Learn English with George W. Bush” packages they sold when I was living in China. Mainly because Obama actually knows how to speak English properly.

luyi Says:
I think his weekly white house podcast would be a great help to anyone learning English too.

Leslie Forman Says:
I work with Chinese professionals to help them improve their oral English, and I think that Obama’s speeches are excellent for this purpose. I’ve found that Chinese students with a high level of English tend to talk too quickly, so pausing like Obama does in his speeches is a very useful exercise.

Also, I think that Chinese people really are interested in Barack Obama, so that’s an added bonus :)

5. Chinese people are carrying Obama's speeches!!! The plot against

America is deeper than the Freepers think!

I'd bet many of the RW 'publicans don't understand half of what our President says because he is speaking over their heads....

I am happy other people realize how well spoken he is.
English is difficult enough to learn if you are nor trying to learn from an idiot like Bush.

6. They didn't have this for Bush

I guess repeating "and um" is too repetitious.
