OMG, Mitt's a euro-snob!

French! He speaks French?

My gosh! Didn't he get the memo?

France is part of old Europe, therefore his second language skills are quite obsolete.

;)
 
This reinforces my somewhat tepid preference for Romney over the rest of the field. Some Republicans are falling all over themselves to promote isolationist ideology. Americans have a sacred right, nay a duty, to never, ever learn a second language.

The fact that it's French makes him look even more soigne.
 
Horse French, I believe the European Frenchies call it.

Don't agree, but just sayin'......
 
Liberal Super PAC Unveils "French Mitt Romney" Attack Ad

The new spot from American LP (embedded below) features Romney showing off his foreign language skills in a promotional video for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, which he ran. As he welcomes viewers to the Games in French, the video’s subtitles (mis)translate his words into English. A few of the highlights: "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country"; "I was an independent during the time of Regan/Bush"; and "I like mandates."

Is this true? Did Romney really say "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country" in French? Or is that a mistranslation as suggested here?
 
His French comes from the two years he spent in France for his required Mormon missionary duty. I would guess being a good Mormon he told those he tried to convert that black members could not hold the priesthood or participate in temple activities.
