President Mer-see-bo-ku blundered yesterday when he welcomed guests to the Whitehouse by saying, “Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House.”  For those who don’t habla Espanol, cinco is Spanish for “four”, which means our President of the world greeted his guests with, “Welcome to Five of Four.”

Since Exurban Kevin already beat me to the Star Trek punch, I will make a suggestion to the President –

Since you seem to be quite skilled at purchasing DVD’s, have your aids pick up some Sesame Street, Electric Company and Villa Alegre DVD’s.  Then sit down with your daughters and learn how to count in Spanish the way that the residents here at Casa Diablo Grande did when we were five or six years old.

And I’m the one that’s supposed to be embarrased because I can’t speak Spanish when I go to Europe?
