Obama courts Hispanics in new ad
Barack Obama unveiled a new Spanish-language radio ad today that will air in battleground states with significant Hispanic populations.
The spot highlights Obama's biography and tries to link it to immigrant values.
"Some people have power and connections," the announcer says. "But most of us have to make our own way through life. This is true even for the man who could become the next president, Barack Obama. He grew up without a father -- raised by his mother with the support of his grandparents. Through student loans and hard work, he graduated from college. Obama never forgot his roots."
The ad then goes on to mention Obama's record of supporting working families and says, "despite the political pressure, Obama has stood with us for immigration reform."
"It’s time we had a President who understands we all deserve a chance to make our own way," the announcer concludes.
The ad will air in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and New Mexico. Obama struggled to make inroads with Hispanic voters during the Democratic primaries; most supported Hillary Clinton.
Republican John McCain is also courting Latinos, though that has been made more difficult because he changed his stance during the GOP primaries on comprehensive immigration reform, saying that until the borders were made secure, he would not support the bill he once championed that included a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants.
There is a problem with these candidates courting Mexicans. The problem is that they are not courting anyone else, especially Americans. Whether your black, Asian or in between it just does not look good when you pander because of someones race or ethnicity. Your strength as an American candidate should be understanding the issues so the American people know how who you are and what you believe in. John McCain's most recent ad is purely racist in nature because many people from all walks of life sacrificed their lives during the Vietnam War. His speech was disrespectful to all that served during that time.
I'm Hispanic and I say Mc who?
Obama 08'!
Obama is also courting Cubans in Florida. He also needs to hit the NE for Puerto Ricans.
After politically suffering in 2007 for his support of legislation that critics derided as “amnesty,” McCain reversed course during the GOP primary and said it was imperative to secure the borders first.
At a debate in January, McCain said he would even oppose his own legislation if it were to be voted on again.
“First he was with us, but then he abandoned not only the immigration bill but [also] the DREAM Act,” said Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
The DREAM Act would allow high-achieving high school students who are long-term illegal immigrants and want to serve in the armed forces or attend college to gain legal status.
McCain was originally a co-sponsor of the bill, but said last fall that he had come to oppose the measure because “he got the message” that voters wanted border security first.
Hmm.......
Obama is a lair plain and simple. He treats the Presidential election like a Disney Land attraction and while it appears fun ,in the end it is only make believe. He lies to the Jews (who his church preaches hate of), he lies to whites(whom his church of 20 years preaches hate of), he lies to women about making them equal (but calls a professional reporter sweetie, didn't call a man sweetie), lies about his votes as Senator said he pulled the switch wrong SIXTIMES!) He lies to black men about being responsible, (but let his opening number call women "HOs", He lies to the people about their welfare, (but he calls people ignorant (especially those who don't agree with him) white gun toting religious cling, anti-immigration. He lies about race shouldn't matter, but his minions call everyone a racist who again doesn't buy into his rhetoric, He lies about promises he can't keep.
He tries to steal the Presidential Seal as if it were his own and replace it with his own name. He calls for unity, but incites hatred of his followers for anyone not buying into his garbage. Just look at the above.
He uses Reverend Wright tactics to incite hattres and eventually violence to those who won't agree with him.
This is the core of the man and his beliefs, which is to only control of the masses so that they may heap Godlike praise upon him.
The real truth! Obama has never helped any minority! Not even blacks. He will only help himself!!
If Obama makes a mistake, he is not ready, inexperienced. If he makes no mistakes, he is too smooth, glib. If he is confident and well-spoken, he is cocky. If he shows reservations, he is not ready, inexperienced. If he holds no press meetings, he is underhanded. If he holds a couple, he is acting like he is already POTUS. The media insists on shadowing him, so they love him. But they look for every little silly issue--like has he colored his hair gray and does he place his hand on another leader's shoulder. McCheese says Iraq and Pakistan share a border. They do not. McShame says the surge took place months before it did. McSame accuses the Democratic Party's nominee of being a traitor. He gets away with S**T just like he got away with calling his wife a C**T. Are we biased yet?
