That Barack Obama is a such a compulsive prevaricator that he cannot admit he speaks an exotic foreign tongue until he’s hanging out with a bunch of reporters. Remember how he very unpatriotically admitted feeling “embarrassed” that he doesn’t speak a foreign language? Well that was just a bunch of lies because he does speak some language, one that many people have not even heard of. Is it Klingon?
No, it is something called “Bahasi Indonesian”! On his plane from Tel Aviv to Berlin, Obama was hanging out in steerage with all the reporters and he let this slip:
“My German is not real good …I can speak Bahasi Indonesian but I don’t think…there would be a lot of appeal to that.”
Of course, when he says he can “speak” this language he probably means he can say things like “please” and “where’s the toilet” and “I would like two tickets to the madrassa,” but whatever. When will Barack Obama admit that he would prefer to deliver his Berlin address in Indonesian?

George Bush knows how to buy cocaine in Mexican.
Some email my father in law sent me said he speaks terrorist.
You know, Sara, it sounds like he has most of the important stuff down. I was told once that the most important things to learn are please, thank you, where is the toilet, and I’d like a beer please (or I’d like another beer, as the case may be). I have found that this gets me through most countries just fine…but I’m in recovery now, so I don’t travel much.
Aha! He admits to being an Indoneso-Muslo-Caliphitic jihadist!
Bahasi Indonesian is hardly foreign. I bet half of the drivers in NASCAR are fluent. Now, Minangkabau Indonesian, that’s foreign.
Speaking English well is his first problem. Less isn’ts, more ain’ts.
Whereas McCain speaks a dozen languages without a trace of an axe-cunt.
I hear WALNUTS! remembers a little “Old Prospector” from his youth.
Apparently, his English is not real good, either.
We use adverbs to describe adjectives, Barry. Or is he trying to appeal to Hillary’s bitter, white Appalachian voters?
MrAgro: I believe that shuld b “speakin’ Inglush good.” Geez, do I got 2 b the gramr fixr ’round herre?
shoulda brought Ahhnuld for interpreting.
He would do himself a favor by learning english as spoken in the south.
Just like Dubya finds his ‘Texan’ accent translates into votes.
After suffering through the abomination of the last seven years, he could grunt
mono-sylabically and still be more eloqent than Dumya..
I hear McCain speaks old school Czechoslovakian.
Bahasi Indonesian is just an anagram for Banana Iodine Hiss!!! He’s gonna spike our bananas with iodine dripping snakes!!
MCCAIN INZ ‘08.
HILLARITY IN ‘12!!!
The Speech is about to happen in, what, one hour? Will it be streamed live? Or more important, live-blogged? “Mrs Merkel: put back this wall!”
Itu tidak rasial transcendence. Berganti kami bisa percaya in. No big.
WIth the lyrics of 99 luftballons he can pretty much get by.
Think of hte contrast. With Obama in office, Angela Merkel will be BEGGING our POTUS for a backrub.
V572625694: but first allow me to give you a nice Swedish massage first.
“When will Barack Obama admit that he would prefer to deliver his Berlin address in Indonesian?” Actually he will give his inauguration speech in Indonesian, thus causing every white male Republican to suffer massive apoplexy. Then he’ll have a much easier time getting bills passed….smart move!
V572625694: Liveblog! Schnell!
A few key phrases for you:
Di mana kamar kecil? (Where is the toilet?)
Boleh tahu a/s/l? (A/S/L?)
Saya mencari perek. (I’m looking for a prostitute.)
Tolong tiga berlian. (Three diamonds, please)
(Note: I don’t actually know any Bahasa, so these may be a bit off.)
blowhard: ack–thanks for that. stuck in my head now for the rest of the day.
Bahasi Indonesian = Terrorist Arugala-ese. This is the lingua franca of Whole Jihadi Foods. Use Google translate on the words “Would you like a cup of freshly squeezed organic morel and dragonfruit juice?,” and you’ll get an idea of what passes for smalltalk in Hopey’s house.
If he spoke Klingon, he could pick up at least 20 more votes from having all of Ron Paul’s cult defect.
You have not experienced Obama until you have heard him in the original Bahasi.
He’s got high standards. If he can’t read elitist Noam Chomsky in a given language, it doesn’t count.
Doglessliberal: Just whistle the beginning of Winds of Change by the Scorpions. That oughta help. That song’s much better en Deutsch anyways.
I spent some time in Germany in 1999 and this clown was all the rage with the older Germans. Check this shit out for a look at how fucking insane that country really is.

According to the inter-tubez, “tul” is Klingon for “hope”.
So now I guess he is “Tully” to the rest of teh galaxyz.
How do you say “Allah Akbar” in Bahasi Indonesian?
medievalist: I always think of Peggy Hill’s tortured Spanish whenever Bush decides to put on his metaphorical sombrero.
Darehead: Ordinarily, puns aren’t funny. But puns that combine brutality and contempt for women with four-letter Anglo-Saxonisms? Comedy gold!
Gentleman’s bet: McCain wins by a slight margin in November.
Darehead: shouldn’t that be “ex-cunt”? Cuz we hardly ever see Carol.
medievalist:
Are you kidding? He sent the chauffeur to the rough part of town to buy it for him.
thefrontpage: I don’t know, with Murdoch quietly backing Barry, Fox will probably call it for the black guy.
Does jive count?
Sincerely,
The Bitters
mookworthjwilson: Barry speaks the language of elitism, which is good enough for moi.
Don’t joke about Klingons when we have an aged Apollo astronaut claiming that aliens actually do exist. I’m gettin the heebie jeebies.
You know that when he says “I can speak Bahasi Indonesian” he means “I am an Islamic terrorist.”
Since it’s actually Bahasa Indonesia, not Bahasi Indonesian, I’m gonna guess he’s a little rusty.
Bahasa Indonesia = O banana said shine.
No, even better: On a banished Asian.
An Obanished Asian?
