Palin received lower marks for her handling of the tragedy from more Americans than President Barack Obama did, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Monday found.

Nearly 8 in 10 of those surveyed gave Obama high marks for his response, and 71 percent of Republicans approved of Obama's leadership after the shootings, the Post reported. About 30 percent of those polled approved of Palin's response; among Republicans, her positive marks rose to 56 percent.

It means: "it makes no sense to me" or "I don't understand it"

The equivalent in Greek is: Αυτά μου φαίνονται κινέζικα, which google translates as "These strike me as Chinese"

There's an interesting Wikipedia article on the origins of the expression here.

In short, it means "it makes no sense to me" or "I don't understand it"

If you read the Wikipedia article I linked to you'll see there are a few theories about why it is Greek and not some other language. There is also an expression "It's double Dutch to me" so it's not just Greek.

As for what language sounds the most alien to English ears, the various languages and dialects from China and sorrounding countries would be my guess as the grammar, word structure, pronunciation and writing are so completely different to any of the European languages.
