Comments on: Remember Obama’s ‘ Latino’ Problem? http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/09/remember-obamas-latino-problem/ A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:37:33 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bronze Trinity http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/09/remember-obamas-latino-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-162976 Bronze Trinity Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:00:07 +0000 http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/?p=2339#comment-162976 YAY!!! This makes me really happy! It was so damaging for the media to debate the idea that Hispanics will never vote for Obama because he's Black. I hate all this speculation about why the polls are the way they are. They are just guessing and when you say one group will not vote for Obama because they are racists that is really disgusting and obviously untrue. They made me think that Hispanic and Latino people hated Black people. Some probably do, but the media made it seem like some sort of widespread tradition! YAY!!! This makes me really happy!

In Seattle last month over forty grassroots communities joined together from Latino, to Pacific Islander, to Somali to Russian and pledged to support Obama and do what they could to get the votes out and cast..

These last eight years I have read stories of Mexicans left in semi truck trailers by the side of the road only to die. I have seen little outrage and have felt scared for humans who are following an urge of the species- to go where they can find food and greener pastures. To provide a better life for themselves and loved ones. We have always been migratory.

Go Obama

My bet is that Barack Obama will prevail in the Fall. There is too much as stake and people are just fed up with the GOP.
