November is coming. The election is looming, and it looks like it might be a close one. To boost his re-election chances, President Obama has been looking to secure the Hispanic vote, first with targeted campaign adds, and then with a “quick fix” executive order bringing a halt to the deportation of certain young illegals.
But will this deliberate pandering really secure the Hispanic vote? What do Hispanics want, really? The answer to that second question is much simpler than you would think.
Hispanics want the same things as other Americans. They want to be able to get a job and feed their families. They want to live in peace, without the fear of their own government spying on them with drones or selling weapons to the drug cartels that are massacring their extended families in Mexico. They want their children to grow up in a country where traditional values are celebrated, not suppressed.
In all these areas, President Obama’s record leaves much to be desired. The economy is still sluggish, with high unemployment and no end in sight. The stimulus packages have done nothing to alleviate the people’s suffering and have piled trillions in debt on their heads instead. The Obama administration continues its desperate fight to cover up the Fast and Furious disaster, showing that it treats the safety of (and accountability to) its citizens as a joke. And, to add insult to injury, President Obama supports forcing private health insurance to cover birth control, religious objections be damned.
Ronald Reagan famously asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” when running against Jimmy Carter and the lackluster results of his presidential term. On Election Day, this will be the burning question on voters’ minds. Hispanics are no exception.

To start with we are a family of many cultures and races & personally I love it. What the people want is work and the opportunities to create job and live a happy life. But, with the Socialist Progress now in charge with their out of control Federal Agencies preventing this ability with thousands of idiot regulations and Petty Bureaucrats enforcing then at their whim without fact or reasons other than to make business and job go away. Then these Progressive Liberals spew hate to divide everyone in to separate camps and pit one against the other because this will give them more controls. I ask you a couple of question. Do you like being ruled by Agencies, that you did not vote for or have any voice in their operation? Well, that is what you have with the EPA, Labor Relation Board, TSA, Federal Board of (propaganda)education and the list goes on and on. Then there is the FDA (murdering for corporate profits inc.) which allows deadly drugs to be marketed that do not cure, but make you sick or dead. Along the same lines the FDA allows Giant Food Processor to use toxic chemicals in you food supplies and all for higher profits. Then the Pharmaceuticals & Food processors use these profit to buy your Corrupt Elected Official who would sell his own into slavery for part of the 30 pieces of Blood stained Silver. We the people of all races and cultures here in what is left of the Republic have to stop the hate and join together against the Real Enemy the Federal & State Governments which is run by Petty Bureaucrats, of which you have no voice. In ending, I hope that you enjoy your daily staff of life, Bread which is filled with poison toxins like one AZODICARBONAMIDE, plastic foam chemical with a little cellulose (saw dust) added in for flavor and more just to increased profits.
Right on ! If the Hispanics believe Obama’s lies and vote for him they will get what they deserve. NOTHING !
Remember he promised the dream act
And did nothing for 2/12years because he was too busy with healthcare. The dream act could have passed because he held all three branches of government. Now he blames the Republicans ! obama tells lies to get re-elected. Let’s hope the Hispanic’s see through this !
