"Mi casa blanca es su casa blanca"

Sorry if the spelling etc is wrong. I know very little Spanish but this is my transcript of what el pretzeldente said today in Mexico.

Does this mean he is inviting Mexicans to the White House?

WTF?

1. Well, sure. Summer's almost here.

and that's a BI-I-IG lawn he's got there.

3. Oh that is soooo bad!

Shame on you.

2. It's "Mi casa blanca es su casa blanca"

"Mi" is the Spanish version of "my." "Su" is the formal version of "your" the informal version is "tu." He was saying to Fox and other leaders that they are welcome to the White House. "My White House is your White House" in Spanish.

4. What about "Mi Rancho de Crawford es su Rancho de Crawford"

?????????? He spends more time there anyway. Now, in addition to ignoring terrorism threats, Cindy Sheehan, and Hurricane Katrina, he can entertain fellow douchebag Vicente Fox.

6. That's what I thought he was saying

And hey, I only missed one word. LOL

But you know I didn't get the impression from the video clip that he was speaking only to their leaders.

8. Maybe not.

Perhaps with the trade deficit, he was just admitting that he's sold the White House. Sorta like one of those Ditech commercials...

5. Just change "Ma" to "Mi" and you got it.

7. Thanks

I think this is hilarious. The man is as inarticulate in Spanish as he is in English.

9. It's a polite wecloming greeting along the border

Of course, most people around here don't include "blanca." It means "My house is your house."

And most folks around here (even those of us who aren't fully bilingual) can say it properly in both languages. :rofl:

10. I know what it means

I just thought it was odd for him to be saying this in that setting. I guess it was his peculiar way to be polite to Vincente Fox?
