Obama speaks in native tongues

I can't find the exact remarks (though I searched online quite a bit), but I know that he said things in the native languages of several countries that he visited on his tour of Europe. I know he's not fluent in any of those languages, but I still applaud the symbolism of addressing people in their own language. It shows respect and it demonstrates that not all Americans are as small-minded, anti-intellectual, jingoistic and dismissive of others as GWB.
