Obama To Appear On "Premio Lo Nuestro," Talk Directly To Massive Hispanic Audience

[FrenchieCat]

Variety:

With Mexico in the headlines of late, President Obama will talk directly to a massive Hispanic aud when he makes an historic appearance on "Premio Lo Nuestro," Univision's longest-running and most popular music awards show on Thursday.

Always ready to break old White House habits, Obama raised eyebrows during his second press conference Tuesday when he called on a Univision reporter to query him. If anything, these moves send a positive signal to a fast-growing electorate which helped land him in the White House.

4. I can't wait until he shows up (which I doubt) at one of the Haitian channels out there.

Our tv is crap anyway, it's better if he stays away. I like the fact he's speaking to the Hispanic community. He's not a president of one people but all people that make up the US.

5. Oh no! What if he

uses a teleprompter. He DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S READING! He just says whatever is on the monitor! He could become a 1 termer!

Or he might smile!

Or he could become testy!

12. Has he yet managed to connect with one progressive leader in Latin America?

He can be on all the telenovelas but connecting with one of them will really be a score. He has plenty of them to choose from, too, because they all supported him.
