I'm thinking they were just trying to be clever and witty...and it didn't quite go over as well as they'd hoped for - sure been there with that one myself.

Nope. The media chose this theme because Obama and Calderon persuaded Stephan Harper to make Spenish the third official language of Canada.
MSNBC asks:
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archi...0/2025112.aspx

OBAMA AGENDA: A PLETHORA OF PINATAS?

.................................................. .................................................. .........................

Obama: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises.
Calderon: Many pinatas?
Obama: Oh yes, many!
Calderon: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
Obama: A what?
Calderon: A *plethora*.
Obama: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
Calderon: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Obama: Why, El Guapo?
Calderon: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Obama: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
