Becerra Won't Be Obama's Trade Rep

Thanks for translating what he said, you clowns.

Could I get a translation, so that I can read the news, this is the good USA
and I do believe that we speak English here

What a shame!!!

LOL @ john

trade is not priority number one, two, or three for the Obama administration,

Roughly, he's given a lot of thought to the idea of having this position and he's come to the conclusion that there will be no serious priority given (to trade); that it's not a first nor even a second or third priority.

"Mi preocupación es qué tanto peso hubiera tenido esta posición y llegué a la conclusión de que no sería prioridad número uno, quizá ni siquiera dos o tres,"
Translation:
My concern is how much weight that position would have had and I concluded thay it wouldn't be priority 1, perhaps not even 2 or 3."

No big deal - you offer a job, some take it, some don't.

They did translate it - the summary that he didn't want the job because trade wasn't one of the top three priorities of the administration was accurate, and all that was said in the Spanish quote.

Hopefully, this makes his constituents happy - although were I one of them, I'd be displeased that he's giving out Spanish interviews before English ones. No matter where in California he's from, the majority of his constituents speak English. He should be most concerned with them.

"My concern is how much weight would have been in this position and I concluded that it would not be priority number one, maybe two or even three,"

"My concern is how much weight would have been in this position and I concluded that it would not be priority number one, maybe even two or three"...yes, they did translate it, you monolinguistic f'ing boobs! You act as if being born in America is a birtright to idiocy!

Please press one for good old English,
press two maybe even three for
Spanish. What a Country.......

The word "rejection" is unnecessarily pejorative and poorly chosen. Becerra didn't want the job because he thought it wouldn't be important or high-profile enough.

When weighing an offer, politicians, like everyone else, think about potential career advancement. That's the message here.

You Republicans should stop whinning.

Whose fault is it that you are illeterates and can not even read what is translated for you

No doubt you buffoons gave us 8 years of Bush.

Americans speak Spanish, German, French, Yiddish, Lingala, Swahili, Portuguese, Igbo, Arabic, Flemish, Hausa, Chinese, Japanese, English, Gaelic, Italian, Greek, Swedish, Russian, Korean, Manchurian, etc., etc., etc.

So what is your problem you racist morons?

Becerra's district has a majority of Spanish speakers, so he's speaking the language of his constituents.

better start learning Spanish- as California grows, Latinos will demand that Spanish be on par with English. Obama himself said that Americans should know Spanish.

Those who don't like the new Latino majority can all move to Canada.

what has this clown ever done to justify the offer?
And, has he not gotten the latest news reports on climate change, Afghanistan, govt. corruption, oil abvuses. I wouldn't put trade on the top 10 list.

Why is this guy giving an interview in spanish and not english? Isnt he in AMERICA where the main language here is ENGLISH?

"Mi preocupación es qué tanto peso hubiera tenido esta posición y llegué a la conclusión de que no sería prioridad número uno, quizá ni siquiera dos o tres,"

Translation:

"I know your wife is pregnant. But it wasn't me. I didn't do it. I always wear protection. It's my first, second and third priority."

A John McCain and Sarah Palin transition team would have taken this issue seriously. Just another in a series of mistakes by the ill prepared president elect. With his scandal looming in Illinois, it does not surprise me that the real reason people do not want to join his team is to avoid possible jail time due to associatian with him.

The language of the U.S. is English. We don't have a secondary language. If you don't like it you're welcome to move to another country.
