  1. Obama's speech is decent. Shame it's being translated.

        1. @nerthos I just used an online translator 'cuz my Spanish isn't very strong (my mother only ever spoke English to me as a kid) so uh sorry for how BROKEN that was.

          1. @mrmattimation It made no sense but I understood you wanted to say "smelly butt head"

    2. @nerthos howmuch of your countrymen speak & understand ( fluent ) English anyway ? ... Down here the media just subs everything. I guess you were talking about an Obama-dubbing ? ... Must probably be an awesome resumé thing though "voice of Argentinian Obama".

      1. @critialcloudkicker As far as Buenos Aires goes, a decent chunk understands it, and many speak it. Let's say a 20% understand and 5% talk? which means a few hundred thousand.

        1. @nerthos I can see why that's too low in the eyes of a "ratings are life and death!" Cutthroat buisness.

          1. @critialcloudkicker Considering the province has almost half the population of the country, the numbers are pretty high. Still, there are no nearby english-speaking countries, so that makes the number weight more.

      2. @critialcloudkicker And it's a proper translator, since it's live, but I'd rather have a sub so I can understand what the guy is saying.

        1. @nerthos Ugh, live translations... ... Wait, just why is Obama speaking anyway ? My guess "terrorism bad, aid European allies, mourn the deaths in Brussel" ... But there is no tv/pc here so I can listen to it.

          1. @critialcloudkicker Nah, it's Obama speaking and answering questions of university students. Mostly talking about encouraging bussiness, worldwide development, and cooperation in industry and medicine. You're thinking of a Bush speech. He only barely mentioned terrorism, as this country has nothing to do with it.
