  His Charisma does NOT translate into spanish

  It's that simple.

  the chatter, the wailing, the endless praising of the new Kennedy (a good thing....I guess) just sounds like a lot of noise to Latinos.

  It does NOT translate.

  For most Latinos he's just another politician asking for their vote, albeit without making much effort to get it.

  After all his excuses for waiting so long don't hold water. He put us last, because he thought Latinos were not important.

  Oh and he's also saying the wrong things in regards to immigration. He's listening to the very vocal, extreme left who think all Latinos are naturally super-sympathetic to illegals.

  Nothing could be further from the truth. The sympathy we have extends to family, but NOT to the issue at large.

  The real irony is Native Born, AMERICAN Latinos suffer just as much from illegal immigration as any other group, if not more so. For the illegals compete for their jobs especially hard.

  If you think this is scapegoating, you're an idiot and fool.

  It's reality. A reality that the upper-income, elitist white liberals who hail Obama as the savior have absolutely NO experience with, because NO illegal will ever take their job.

  So his offer to provide driver's licenses probably landed with a dull thud in the Latino community.

  It received the collective yawn it deserved as yet another example of a non-Latino assuming an illegal Latino immigrant and a Native Born AMERICAN Latino are 2 sides of the same coin.

  Such ignorance is best rewarded by voting for the other candidate. Who clearly showed she knew who we were/are as a community, and invested resources from day one in getting our vote.
