LATINOS NEED TO WORK FOR OBAMA

Obama is the candidate who can do the most for Latinos in this election. Let's face it: what did Bill Clinton do for our community during his presidency? Yes, I will be the first to admit that the Clinton years were great. I would love to have that peace and prosperity again. But that was the '90s and we are in dire straits.

We have to elect a Democrat. We have to win that battle in the long run but let's get behind Barack. He's done great work in Chicago and he won election as Senator from Illinois. This shows his electability by the mainstream. Illinois is a great indicator for the whole country with it's big city politics and it's strong farming community.

I'm not advocating tribalism. I'm not saying that we should vote for Barack because he's a person of color. It's just really alarming that so many Latino politicos are backing la Hillary. The reason they are backing Mrs. Clinton is simple: political favors and deals with a well established insider.

For our community, for our country -- Latinos need to do what we can to elect Barack Obama!
