How did Barack Obama become fluent in Spanish?

Answer 1

There is no evidence that President Obama is fluent in Spanish, although he knows a few words and phrases, and could deliver prepared remarks in Spanish if he needed to do so. But you may be thinking of Republican candidate Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican-American woman and by all accounts, speaks Spanish fluently. I assume that Marco Rubio is also fluent in Spanish, but I am told that Tex Cruz does not speak Spanish very well.

Answer 2

President Obama became fluent in Spanish in much the same way he mastered economics, healthcare and foreign policy. A Teleprompter.

Answer 3

Obama has a light command of Bahasa Indones (the language of Indonesia), but does not have any fluency in Spanish.
