I looks like the handler-in-chief has been getting Spanish lessons from Peggy Hill. Does she have a promising career as a Spanish teacher once she leaves the White House?

Why is this problematic?
Is there a requirement now to be fluent in Spanish?
A public figure really oughta learn to pronounce a three word phrase if itâs going to be part of a speech they give. Especially if it is designed to whip up the passions of people whoâs native tongue is in that language.
So say it with me! âSee say pwah-dwayâ
The phrase is just gibberish in any language.
The closest thing to this gaff is Clinton using the Russian word for âoverloadâ instead of âresetâ on the button to reset relations back in 2009. That was bad translation, but at least it had some meaning in Russian.
Si, se puede Si say PWAYthey is yes, itâs possible.
Itâs kind of funny listening to her say it, kind of humorous wondering where she learned to pronounce the ay sound of the Spanish e as aw, but still nothing to lose sleep over.

Yeah, and itâs amazing how many were nasty about her:
Having listened to the former FLOTUS, her English is great.
Itâs a shame a talented comedienne was so mean spirited. Ruthless People is still a great comedy film.
What she said sounds more like:
Sisé, padre!
Which means âI pilfered, cool!â
