While the MSM has been Squawking about the Dumbfuckedassbackwards Endorsement of Mittens by the Des Moines Register... they seemed to have overlooked Obama Being Endorsed by La Opinion, Largest Spanish-Language Newspaper in the Country...
I wonder which Endorsement Might actually have some influence on the Electorate?
From La Opinion:
Come November 6, there is no clearer choice for Hispanic voters than to re-elect President Barack Obama.
The comparison between Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney shows a sharp ideological contrast about the path that the United States should follow. They have two different visions on the economy and social issues. The president's vision is inclusive, forward-looking and promotes growth without leaving people behind. The former governor's vision is divisive and his proposals are the same that have led to a huge wealth gap.
During his first term, Obama rolled up his sleeves at all fronts. He worked to bandage a nation on the brink of a financial collapse triggered by the mortgage and foreclosure crisis. Obama also delivered on key commitments: He brought U.S. troops home from Iraq and oversaw the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
In the face of fierce opposition, the President managed to pass a health care bill that will extend benefits to many in our community. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, adds nine million Latinos currently without coverage to the health care rolls a life-saving boost for a community that suffers the highest uninsured rates in the country.
The very idea of repealing this law, which Romney proposed, is nonsense.
On health care, there is also a big difference between both candidates when it comes to women's reproductive health. With Romney, women are at risk of losing access to important services in employer-provided health insurance, like the option to make decisions about their bodies and health.
Unemployment remains above the national average for Hispanics. However, since February 2009, this rate dropped from 11.1% to 9.9%. Obama has taken critical steps, such as investing billions of dollars in community colleges and job training programs that help Latinos access better jobs.
The President recognizes the needs of our community and the brilliance of the sons and daughter we put forward. His historic appointment of Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court is the brightest example of this.
