WASHINGTON -- A Spanish-language version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," called "Nuestro Himno," which means "Our Anthem," debuted last week.
It stirred controversy because it rewrites some of the English version. And President Bush fed the debate, saying, "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English."
But asked her opinion Wednesday in a CNN interview, First Lady Laura Bush said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with singing it in Spanish."
"What people want is it to be sung in a way that respects the United States and our culture," she said.
