As political crossfire goes, this one is fairly tame, but Barack Obama did spark a bit of controversy last week when he suggested that more Americans should learn a foreign language.

Should Mr. Romney (or Senator Obama, for that matter) want to further pursue his French studies, we have many, many options! (TOM)
