I haven't heard it yet. But I'm sure that it probably is inflamatory to certain Americans. Hilary and Bush didn't mind that the anthem was sung in Spanish. To be honest, I just can't imagine citizens of any other country being offended in the same way if their anthem was sung in another language. Sometimes I wonder. About two years ago, prior to an athletic, event an Hispanic woman was about to sing the anthem in English. Before she had even uttered the first note there were hoots, howlings and whistles from the audience.
