Language skills no obstacle to Clinton

Tagged: , ,

“A Hispanic audience in California warmly greeted presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., despite her apparent lack of Spanish language skills.

A predominately Hispanic crowd greeted Clinton with chants of “Si se puede,” which translates to “Yes, it can be done,” as she accepted the endorsement of the Cesar Chavez’ United Farm Workers union, The New York Times said Wednesday.

Clinton politely nodded as the crowd chanted, finally chiming in with “Si se pueda is right,” which the Times said is nonsensical.”*
