'El no habla': Obama jumbles Cinco de Mayo salute

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's joke wasn't lost in translation—even though he referred to a Cinco de Mayo celebration as "Cinco de Cuatro."

Obama jumbled his words as he welcomed guests to the White House to observe the Mexican holiday, sending the crowd into laughter before he referred to the day correctly.

"Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House," said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.

Cinco de cuatro means "five of four" in Spanish.

"We are a day early, but we always like to get a head start here at the Obama White House," he said.

"I know it's a tough time, on both sides of the border," Obama told lawmakers and other guests.  "One thing we know: Good neighbors work together when faced with common challenges."

You'd think that a guy who constantly pushes his street cred as a community organizer would have learned just a LITTLE Spanish, but then again, maybe not.

And this is the same A-Hole that said Americans should teach our children to be bi-lingual? Maybe he had that confused with being bi-something else.  :rotf:

Cinco de Mayo is learned in elementary school !  It's one of those fun "holidays" where you make and eat neat Mexican stuff.  And maybe learn a little about our neighbors to the south  :cheersmate:

Of course, one hopes you learn the definition by the time your President  :p

If he and his gits weren't such little f :censored: s , I would consider giving him a pass on his spanglish. But he is the self-proclaimed smartest half black man on the planet and he has.... in his own words, "a gift". He deserves to be ridiculed and mocked. What a half-wit.  :whatever:
