(1:07) Obama speaking to a crowd in Powder Springs, GA on 7/8/09 says that we shouldn't focus on getting all to learn English, instead we should focus on teaching our children 2nd languages.  "I don't understand when people are going around worrying about, "We need to have English-only." They want to pass a law, "We want English-only."  Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English. I agree with that. But understand this.  Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English — they'll learn English — you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.  You should be thinking about how can your child become bi-lingual. We should have every child speaking more than one language.  You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. Then we go over to Europe and all we can say is "merci beaucoup."

"We are not a news organization," said Johnathan Rodgers, president and CEO of TV One, speaking at the opening session of the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. "We are a television network designed to celebrate African American achievement. If Hillary was the nominee, we would not be covering this year's Democratic Convention.  My audience is 93% black, I serve my audience."
When TV One's coverage panel was asked if their coverage will raise criticisms of Obama, contributor Hill Harper, who said he's been a friend of Obama's for 20 years and serves on his National Finance Committee, said "the whole purpose of the event is celebration. We're not covering a debate."
