‘El no habla’: Obama jumbles Cinco de Mayo salute

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama’s joke wasn’t lost in translation—even though he referred to a Cinco de Mayo celebration as “Cinco de Cuatro.”
Obama jumbled his words as he welcomed guests to the White House to observe the Mexican holiday, sending the crowd into laughter before he referred to the day correctly.

“Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House,” said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.
Cinco de cuatro means “five of four” in Spanish.


This is the same Obama who went overseas and criticized the US to a European audience (anybody notice a pattern here?) cause we don’t fluently speak multiple languages.

Hey, genius in the White House! I can do better than “cinco de cuatro”.
