I've tried on several occasions to learn Spanish. I don't have a learning disability (that I know of), but for whatever reason I simply can not reconstruct what I want to say into a second language. I went to Mexico, and did my best, but all that happened was the creation of a lot of confused looks.
If I were a savant who could balance the books for the nation, provinces and municipalities during a free weekend, but I'd never run for office because I don't have it in me to speak French.
The message is that content is not important. If we had the best statesman, governor and politician the world had ever seen as PM. Every decision a stroke of genius. But only spoke Esperanto... I'd get over it.
