Barack Para Ti

barack.jpg

Barack Obama is actively courting the Latino vote.

Smart!

The presidential hopeful just started running this commercial
on radio stations throughout Nevada, and he even makes a cameo in the spot, saying, "Soy Barack Obama y yo apruebo este mensaje."

The ad touches on Barack being the son of an immigrant and his Christianity. Inneresting.

For those of you than don't understand espanol, here is the translated text:

"DISCLAIMER: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message. FADE IN MUSIC (THROUGHOUT) FEMALE: If you don't know who Barack Obama is, let us give you a hand: MALE: As a son of a foreign father who came to this country looking for a better life, Barack Obama learned that differences do not divide, but rather enrich. From the U.S. Senate he has defied the politicians who forget the very people they serve. FEMALE: If you still want to know more, let us tell you Barack Obama is a Christian man committed to our community, his wife and his daughters. MALE: A leader who fights for the rights of everyone. FEMALE: We thought it was important for you to know, because in these difficult times, we need a person like Barack Obama as President. MALE: …Capable of restoring our international reputation and capable of uniting our country again. FEMALE: Meet him and be part of the change. Paid by Obama for America."

      Whoever told him that he has the experience to run such a powerful country as the United States was terribly wrong!!! Plus, he really doesn't care about Hispanics, he only cares about the votes to get him elected. I can't stand him!!!

      Just for clarification, Senator Obama was never a practicing muslim. He never turned away from his muslim beliefs to practice christianity. He didn't practice any religion until his time as a community organizer in Chicago, which was well before his political career ever started. It was even before he went to Harvard Law School and served as the first African American President of the Harvard Law Review.

      It saddens me that because of his dedication to constitutional rights, he believes in the rights of some of you to say these terrible racist and homophobic remarks. And by the way, every American should be able to publicly support whatever candidate they choose, even if that American has a ridiculously famous blog. Go Perez!

      It's true that nearly all of the rich African Americans are raising money for Hilary. I like Obama and thinks he's smart, graduated Harvard, editor of the Harvard Law Review and all that. But he is still too young in politics and inexperienced. There is an interesting post by a Native American man named TOCO KEEPNESS on Obama on this site that everyone should read. I agree with it because I don't believe any person of color in their right minds should ever want to be president of this country, America is in a mess and everyone would blame him for it.

      why not look into Bill Richardson? That is if you are lookin for someone "courting" the latino vote. Homeboy doesnt need someone to speak spanish for him, thank you very much. And he has TONS more experience than any of the other dem hopefuls, just not TONS more $$$

      GO RICHARDSON!

      America is in a sad state of affairs if the comments on this board are indicative of the rest of the country. I would hope not and that whether you vote for a candidate, and please, do vote if you are eligible, is based on the best educated choice you could possibly make. I mean, come on, one of the comments is that he doesn't like animals? I guess that's why negative campaigning still works. Every American says they hate it, but they believe it when they see or hear it. And to think, everyone thought the internet would be good for society, that it would promote a greater communication and dialogue among citizens.

      I'm sorry, I am from IL originally and would normally sway my vote to just about anyone from there (yes, we are homers who stuff the ballot box there, fuck you)
      But I can't vote for someone who has made SO many stupid comments as he has.
      He literally sent Pakistan to the brink of a state of emergency with an off hand comment about sending troops in there irregardless of what they (out ally) had to say. Not bright, just not bright. Haven't we had enough of politicians who open their mouth before thinking?

      @#239 I think you know as well as I that the colloquial usage of the term "America" refers to the United States. The only people who use it as a term for the entire New World are South Americans.
      Ask anyone from Europe or Asia to point America out on a map and they will point to the States. Sorry.

      I love how all of the Domcrat supports on here are unintelligent, uninformed and swallow everything main strean media people feed them. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! Obama, Hilary, Rudy, Fred T. Mitt, John, E.-THEy'RE ALL PUSHING FOR A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!!! There's is only one candidate oout of both parties that has ALWAYS VOTED AND SPOKE the truth regardless of what people want to hear. You guys need to stop being lazy sheep and actually research candidates or don't vote. If you really want America to change, we have to follow the constitution and Ron Paul is THE ONLY ONE who has and will do that. RON PAUL REVOLUTION-BE AND INDIVIDUAL, NOT A CONFORMIST!!!!!

      Y'all only like Obama because it is the cool thing. He has absolutely no experience and nothing to back him. He is much too young and clearly not experienced. He almost got the US in a lot of trouble by his one remark about the middle east… he's a definite winner… not. But Mitt Romney is!

      OBAMA WILL NEVER HAVE MY VOTE.

      He is a musulman, direct descent and this, just this alone is too much "Liability for the country" Even when he said he converted to Christianity, musulmans people will harrass him until they get him, because to them he IS STILL a musulman. His Dad was a musulman so this comunity he is a renegate. NO OBAMA WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.

      As a Native American, I find it hilarious for anyone to refer to any one language as being the "first" in the United States. The answer to that question is unknown. However, the only time the legislature ever voted on whether to adopt a national language, it was German, and clearly that did not pass. I am so confused as to why it bothers people so much that people speak other languages in the United States. Most people here are ancestors of immigrants or immigrants themselves. Why does anyone care what language someone else speaks? It doesn't hurt you any. It's not like you people complaining about spanish speakers would ever take the time to speak with or get to know an immigrant anyway.
