No, the only concern is speaking English II

"I said something the other day down in Georgia, and the Republicans jumped on this. I said, you know, absolutely immigrants need to learn English, but we also need to learn foreign languages," he said Friday.

Obama told the crowd that this is one of the problems with politics today.

"This is an example of some of the problems we get into when somebody attacks you for saying the truth, which is we should want children with more knowledge. We should want our children to have more skills. There's nothing wrong with that! It’s a good thing," he said.

While the Obama campaign says that Obama speaks a little bit of Indonesian, Obama himself admits that he isn't bilingual.

"I know because I don’t speak a foreign language. It's embarrassing!" he said.
Why be embarrassed Mr. Foreigner? Unless of course you realized that you admitted your intentions of working towards creating a bi-lingual nation and we Americans do not want it, eh Mr. Foreigner?

As for this statement by your staff Mr. Foreigner:
The Obama campaign reiterated Friday that Obama would continue to require immigrants to learn English to be eligible for citizenship.
Perhaps they need to understand this Mr. Foreigner, that YOU have NO say so over the requirements, or haven't they, or even you, ever read the Constitution and laws of these united States? Let me give you a hint Mr. Foreigner, the language it is in is English.
