Obama to spend $20 million on Latino voters
The Barack Obama campaign announced Tuesday it is joining forces with the Democratic National Committee in a $20 million effort to mobilize Hispanic voters in key swing states in the fall presidential election.
The Obama campaign will target Hispanic voters in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Florida, according to Temo Figueroa, the Latino voter director for the Obama campaign, and will involve not only advertising and online organizing but also voter registration drives, get-out-the-vote efforts and the training of some 500 grass-roots organizers.
The Republican National Committee, in response to the Obama announcement, issued a statement saying Obama’s policies “are not in line with Latino economic interests.” And it provided reporters with background material of media accounts in which the comments of Hispanic business leaders clashed with tax and trade policies proposed by Obama.

[‘he took the American flag symbol off his airplane and put on an O?’] That’s because what our flag represents is alien to BHO. The “O” he had replaced our flag with stands for his vision of an ObamaNation.
