Austrian

Ok.

I want to be fair. So I have to acknowledge that on a trip to Europe in early April, 2009, President Barack Obama said the following in response to a question from an Austrian reporter:

"There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing -- and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics."

So I guess he thinks Austrian is a language. As a friend of mine said, let's hope he brushes up on his Brazilian before he heads to Brazil this weekend!
