McCain Earns Backing From Daddy Yankee

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Grammy-winning singer Daddy Yankee voiced his support for John McCain on Monday as the Republican presidential candidate described Democratic rival Barack Obama as an “honorable opponent.”

Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramon Ayala, appeared with the Arizona senator in front of around 100 students at Phoenix’s Central High School, the alma-mater of McCain’s wife Cindy.

Ayala said he was supporting McCain because of his support for immigration reform. “I’m here to support senator McCain,” Ayala said.

Thank GOD we know that know! Phew! Now it’s just time to sit in anticipation wondering who Noelia is going to back up (no pun intended).

The Only Real Latino in Congress Alive and Well in Denver

Ted Kennedy, Aug. 25, 2008

Sen. Ted Kennedy, recovering from treatment for brain cancer, brought the house down in Denver when he waltzed on stage to say hello and vote for Obama, por favor.

He looked better than that Delaware dinosaur Obama picked as his running mate.

More than the ENTIRE Congressional Hispanic Caucus combined, Kennedy has championed Latino issues in his decades in the U.S. Senate. Even Mexico thinks so.

So keep the novenas going to keep the community’s ONLY REAL LATINO IN CONGRESS healthy and in good spirits.

Obama Picks Articulate Clean White Guy for VP

Yes, the media speculation frenzy can find another target.

The text message is out (3:03 AM on La Bloguera´s cell) and Obama has selected Joe Biden, as his VP, no need to explain who he is, but the Hispanic angle is that he is Catholic,

Another angle is that he said Mexico is run by a bunch of corrupt elitists.

Discuss amongst yourselves….

Hey Obama ¿Where are your token Hispanics?

On the same day the Obama campaign released the official list of recycled Hispanic politicians who helped Kerry lose, we received another nice email about the appointed and selected groupies who get backstage access and a private meeting with The Candidate.

We of course were excited because it promised…

The ten voters selected for backstage access for Obama’s speech next Thursday represent the diversity of Obama supporters and come from all across the country.

But then we saw the list…. and we are very outraged, to see that no token Hispanics will get to have some Si Se Puede time with Barack.

Of course Read the rest of this entry »
