When will PE Obama name a Hispanic American to |
|
something in his Cabinet? I feel we are being left out. Not that is a criticism, but i am just wondering if we will ever be considered. I am sure he can find good qualified candidates outthere.

9. I really like Raul... i will be very pleased if PE Obama |
|
appoints him to any cabinet position. I belong to the Latinos for Obama organization and they are waiting. The organization is strongly against a march that is being organized by some other Hispanics to take place on January 21st. a day after PE Obama inauguration. The Latinos for Obama group/org is fighting tooth and nails with the other hispancis to not hold this march.

to offend anyone.. I am very excited about President-Elect Obama, and it is really a thrill to see the constant braking news of the people he is choosing to work with him.

5. If Obama doesn't name some prominent hispanics to his cabinet.. |
|
I myself will go to DC and snatch him bald. ;)
No, but really, we could not have won this election without our hispanic brethren. That should be recognized and rewarded. :grouphug:

12. Yes. We organized throughout the 50 states |
|
Organized separately and raised our voices against right wing Hispanics on the Hispanic radio markets. Especially here in South Florida. This organization and the fast response we had happened independently from the Obama campaign. We are a large group from other closed race states..

We were monitoring the Hispanic media, newspapers, magazines, radio locally and statewide, including the internet blog sphere in Spanish. Personally, in South Florida i was invited by a local A.M. radio station to "defend" (as they put it) Obama's policies on Hispanic issues. They clearly stated before I came on air that I did not represented the campaign, but that I was a strong supporter. This also happened in New Mexico, Nevada, Los Angeles, PA, and Ohio Hispanics strongholds..

10. Not sure I like this "PE" abbreviation for "President-Elect" |
|
Pretty soon, he'll be known as "PE B.O." and that just has a nasty connotation.
:rofl:

and he stood with Obama when it was even money they'd lose.
