DNC Wednesday night

Hmmmm....

Here's the thing.

When my sister and I first heard he spoke Spanish, we both looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

And we are VERY pleased by him. I can't help but be impressed. I think a lot of Hispanic people may be as well.

I don't know how to explain it. He looks "comfortable" when speaking it.

This to me says a lot-

1) He doesn't ONLY speak it for political reasons. It's a language he speaks regularly, which in turn tells me
2) He in some manner or form must regularly hang around people who speak Spanish fluently as well and probably reads books in Spanish or watches TV in Spanish, and if that's true
3) Then he has more than a superficial knowledge of issues that affect or interest Hispanics and
4) He is probably somewhat aware of what goes on in Latin America and/or Spain, which in turn signals to me that
5) He is not one of these "I live in my tiny bubble" kind of person.


And I think that is amazing and I think a lot of other people will think so too.
