“President Bush is prone to slip in a little Spanish and has a younger brother ”” Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ”” who is fluent. But when it comes to the national anthem, the president said Friday, he is a purist.
“I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English,” Bush told reporters in the Rose Garden. “And I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.”
Bush’s comments came in response to a question about whether he believed the national anthem would “hold the same value” if sung in Spanish.”
