Latin Rocker and Political Voice, Juanes, supports . . .
Obama.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN0839432320080509?sp=true

<break>Through it all, Juanes seeks to remain neutral in politics and believes both sides of a conflict must be heard.

"I belong to the extreme center," he said.

When pushed to say which U.S. presidential candidate best represents the interests of immigrants in the United States, Juanes momentarily abandons his neutrality.

"I would say Obama," he quietly confided.



Perhaps, I'm wrong, and it is the last sentence of the article, but this seems quite a good comment to me. I read some posts here and elsewhere saying that Obama would not be able to attract Latino votes, I see this as a rebuttal to that idea.

2. His bio and the entire article is certainly amazing. That's why I thought
his choice of Obama was worth bringing to DU. Thanks for the link to his sounds.
