How do you say ’smart diplomacy’ in Mexican?

President Obama, at a news conference in Europe:

“There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing, and people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics,” he said in response to an Austrian reporter’s question.

.

There is no language called “Austrian”. Austrians speak German.

    At least he is smart enough to know not knowing how to speak “Austrian”. Some peope would never have the sense to admit they don’t know how to say something in “Austrian”. Now, “Australian”, is a really hard language to speak. And if you think that is hard try talking in “Canadian”. Eh? We are so fortunate to have such an enlightened linguisticly gifted president. Ever tried Greenlandian?
