Freudian Slip, Meester Presidente?
"Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro...at the White House."
Um, in Spanish, cinco de cuatro means four minus five, Señor. And that, in both English and Spanish, equals negative uno.

On follow-up, something struck me this morning about this.
My blog partner Kurt dug this up and made a post (And please forgive the guilty and shameless link-drop):

You see, what struck me is how beyond the ridiculousness about this ... we may have a very serious and dangerous problem.
Does anyone not see how "lost translation" and "miscommunication" COULD get us into some horrific situations around the world ... especially in the Arab/Middle East world ... where word meaning/usage and tone mean something, especially to "intent"?
So, while we laugh let's not overlook the possible warnings being perhaps Divinely provided here.
The fact is, the WH, especially of late Rahmbo, are attempting to use "Chicago-speak" to possibly push Israel's hand in a "peace agreement" with Palestine. Careless, dangerous, and unconscionable ... to say the least:

Which only goes to show that without his high IQ, SuperSmart Teleprompter, Obama only opens his mouth to change feet.
I wonder... Will he welcome guests to the White House to observe the “20 de Mayo”? And if so... Who would those guests be?
looks like obambi needs a biingual teleprompter
