Weeks before Barack Obama won the presidency, he met privately in Washington with his former Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and Latino political leaders who had fervently backed her bid.
The cards were laid upon the table, according to one of the participants. The Hispanic leaders said they expected at least two Latinos to be named to an Obama Cabinet — meeting the standard set by President-elect Bill Clinton in 1992 — but preferred three. Of course, they also wanted sub-Cabinet-level posts.
In return, Obama needed assurances that Hispanics — who had overwhelmingly voted for Clinton during the Democratic primaries — would be mobilized in large enough numbers to make him the winner in the battleground states of Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Florida.
On Election Day, Obama won all four states over Republican John McCain largely because of the Latino vote.
. . . . .
Hispanics delivered. Now the question is, how much can Latinos expect from Obama?

McCain's "friends" at La Raza have discarded him like a used Antonio Banderas love doll.

SI SE PUEDE!!!
Not Americans but latinos. Nothing racist about that. Whites beware, we’re going to be punished.
GREAT.
The Muslim brothers are glad that Hussin won the day.
Latinos are glad Hussein won the day.
What about AMERICANS ?
McCain’s “friends” at La Raza have discarded him like a used Antonio Banderas love doll.
That was hilarious!
I guess McCain shouldnt have tied his boat to these Mex Klux Klan/Reconquista/Aztlan Racists
I wonder if his staffers are going to trash La Raza (The Race) like they did with Sarah? Probably not
LOL! Some of them are on the La Raza payroll (not kidding).
Man, are these folks ever in for a huge disappointment. There simply is no way Obama or any other man can be all things to all people. If nothing else, it's going to be entertaining to watch.....
With all the special interest groups BO has to pander to....I doubt he will have time to shower let alone redistribute the wealth, set up a new health care system, deal with foreign policy and remain the messiah.....
Listen up, Obomba. Give the illegal aliens who have invaded our nation a voice in your cabinet. It’s fittin’.
Don’t worry, McCain will be working hand in glove with Obama to get an amnesty passed.
What goes around, comes around... Ain't karma a b!tch? How's that knife-in-the-back feel, Juanito?

Exsqueeze me?
If Barry follows through, that is "Quid Pro Quo". In English, Bribery. That just happens to be an Impeachable Offense.
Impeach Obama!
(so there, moonbats!)
Great pic, but - sad to say - it already IS “happening”.
Look at California.
Look at New Mexico.
In both states, Euros are now a minority of the population, and both states have essentially “gone blue forever”.
Arizona is between them and although it voted red this time (for its native son), the writing is on the wall there, too.
Even Texas may shift blue when the millions of illegals there are made legal. I feel confident in predicting that a post-amnesty Texas will become a “battleground state” at best. No longer reliably red.
Flame me if you wish. But there is a force at work that trumps ALL politics, and it’s one of those fancy concepts called demographics. And demographics are truly “destiny”, political and otherwise.
It’s the reason that this continent is no longer populated mainly by Indians.
And it is also the reason why “Emerging Atzlan” ain’t no joke any more...

Yeah, that'll probably work for a while, but by year two of our dear leader's term it will ring very hollow because Bush will be nowhere to be found. Similarly, the notion that the congressional Republicans are being "obstructionist" won't fly by year two, either. It should be clear, even to the casual observer, that the coming DemocRat failures will be wholly owned by the DemocRats......and I predict there will be many of them. So many, in fact, that the 'Pubbies will take back control of Congress. Remember, you heard it here first.....
Hey, isn't there some rule about pictures?
