I want right wing heads to explode this morning. PLEASE SPEAK FRENCH PRESIDENT OBAMA!
Can you imagine the unhinged right-wing reaction this morning if Obama uses any French in his speech?

4. Obama says that he has forgotten almost all the French
he learned in high school.

(So I think this isn't likely to happen).

6. That would have been President KERRY to be the one to do that....
I don't think Obama speaks much, if any, French, save perhaps the usual stuff that kids learned from Pepe LePeu on the cartoons.

7. I made a conscious effort to pepper my speech with French phrases whenever possible
right after the first volley was fired in the Neocon-Gallic Rhetorical War. I never missed an opportunity to drop le mot juste into conversation or call a particularly nasty neocon a bête noire. Over the internet, I always made sure to write résumé - with both aigu - for an outrageous accent. When I point out their façade of patriotism, the dangling bit of cedilla reresents an invitation to bite me.

9. I secretly pretend.....
... that he is quietly learning Spanish late at night and plans to give an entire speech in Spanish at some point during the 2012 election season. :)
