Barack Obama did his best Dan Quayle impression on Sunday when he announced in a Strasbourg speech that Austrians speak a language known as Austrian.
“It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.”
President Obama will announce later today that in Australia they speak Australian, in Brazil they speak Brazilian, and in Taiwan they speak Taiwanese.
