As Oppenheimer writes in this piece, "There is a fierce behind-the-scenes battle for influence over presumptive Democratic candidate Barack Obama's Hispanic and Latin American agenda, and some Democratic strategists say that its outcome could determine the result of the November elections."

"Some Obama backers in South Florida, in particular, are especially miffed at what they see as excessive power by labor-union-tied, left-leaning Mexican-American leaders at Obama's Chicago headquarters over the campaign's nationwide Hispanic and Latin American policy strategies."

It says that Obama is "still formulating his positions on Latin America", but it seems the Latinos smell flip-flops ahead.

Most of Obama's financial backers in South Florida are either homosexual/South Beach types or Jewish.

Obama also must come to grips with the fact that 3/4 of the Latino population in the United States has roots in Mexico.
