    Yes he and Michele both can fluently speak, read and write in Mandarin, just like any of us who were educated in Oceania country. As usual the US media will all repeatably mention it, when he attends a summit in Indonesia after next week.

    Just to propagandize and create more undereducated American worldview foreign xenophobic opinions from the 70% of Americans. Who never been more than 200 miles from where they were born and went to school. That educationally think and will argue until there blue in the face, American is a language.

    You would think Americans would be educationally very fluent in speaking, reading and writing in Spanish. Being neighbors with Mexico, and with so many Spanish speaking persons in the United States. It's ironic how many Americans can understand what Cheetah the chimpanzee in the Tarzan films is saying, yet not able to speak in a neighboring foreign language.

    A number of our Presidents have had various levels of proficiency at language. Thomas Jefferson was fluent in French. G. Washington spoke some French but not fluently. Teddy Roosevelt, Spanish. I would have to research the others.

    Obama speaks some Arabic, fluent gobbledygook, and bullshit.

    The Republicans are all capable of some bullshit and Jon Huntsman may speak some Mandarin (a Chinese dialect).

    Jon Huntsman was the ambassador to China, he may know Chinese. I'm not sure though.
