I disagree because it's your country and you can speak whatever you feel comfortable speaking. This argument only works if the United States belongs to English speaking people, but it doesn't as evidenced by the fact that 1) No official language. 2) A lot of Spanish speaking Americans here.
I honestly cannot see myself being offended if I were a Senator in that room which is why the "rudeness" of it all is not making sense to me.
If you speak the common language in a room and you choose to speak a language most in the room do not understand, it is rude. If I am in a room with Mandarin speakers, do you think I speak English around them? Rediculous...
