If President Barack Obama Could Have Any Superpower, It Would Be…
President Barack Obama was recently asked a number of off-beat questions, ranging from his musical preferences to his favorite dinner locales in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. In the interview, the POTUS was also asked what superpower he would most like to have. His answer?
Polyglotism. The ability to speak any language.
President Obama revealed this, along with several other interesting insights into his personality and preferences, in an interview with KOB-FM in Albuquerque, New Mexico that aired Friday, reports the Boston Globe.
President Obama said that he would “love to be able to speak any language,” even though “it might not come in handy to rescue folks from a burning building.” Regardless, the president maintains that he’s a “big believer in making connections with people.”
A unique choice, but admittedly, a bit lame. Then again, he could have just gone with “safe” answers like “flying” or the “ability to turn invisible,” which might actually help his political career a bit more than polyglotism.
President Obama also discussed his favorite music, saying that Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love” is a great song to “get my heart rate up” (does he mean during a workout?), though he’s also partial to Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, and Jay-Z. We’re guessing Kanye didn’t make the cut for obvious reasons. Obama also talked about his preference between red and green chili. It’s “classic red,” reports ABC News.
No word yet on how President Obama’s desire to speak multiple languages will help his poll numbers or re-election prospects.

I knew it had to do with his mouth but I was going to say he never stops talking but never says anything important.

Obama is not a good president & he will never bring us out of this mess that some past presidents sold us out to other countries too. Obama can not and will not fix these problem's because he does not know how to fix them. if he had of known this. then why has he not fixed them in the year's he has had in office? he has done some good things while there for the women and a few for the elder. but wait a minuter now! that was to help him get reelected because he knew he was going to run again. if all of you dummies and I say dummies vote to keep him in the office. God bless us all. because he will finish us off. you can take this to the bank.. WHY NOT GIVE THE NEXT MAN A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO? what is wrong with you all? I have saw what Obama has done and as far as I can see he has hurt us far worse then he has helped us. Ray Charles could see this.. what's wrong with you all? I don't care who it is. if it were my brother running for office. I would feel this way about him too. I am saying what the truth is. the truth is what has he done to fix this. has he brought our men home NO has he hurt our military yes he has. has he cut back on spending like he said he would do. ha ha ha ha we all know that answer. he has drove the value of our money down if anything. you better listen and read about some of the new law's he is signing into effect. its very scary to read. before you make up your minds to vote Obama ticket. I would advice any one you Obama voter's to start reading everything you can find about him. while you are reading.ask questions to some one who really know's the answer's. I read everything on the computer about him and ask question's. thanks for reading this. Sara Marshall
