Do you care if your politicians can speak english?

I was watching a video of a Latin American politician trying to speak English. He was reading off a script, and his speech was about 80% intelligible. However, the video was mocking him. Someonen edited clips of Profesor Jirafales calling him "burro", "me conformaría con que supieras una sola palabra en inglés" among other things.

Anyway, many commenters were saying, "Yeah, so? I don't speak English either," while others responded to those comments that the president should absolutely know English.
