Barack Obama at La Raza Conference

[tenhirankei]

@DecolonizeAnahuac As long as the person fulfills the citizenship requirements for the particular office, all I care about afterwards are their stands on the important issues.

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

Education, Knowledge.....South America, Central America, North America...CONTINENT of the AMERICAS.... NATIVE AMERICANS.....I am NATIVE AMERICAN FOR WHICH IT STANDS...SO are ALL people with the bloodline of the true people of the AMERICAS...Europeans only think they are Americans...they are not...Blood LINE makes one American. I would love to SEE George Washington's GREENCARD!!!!

[LaRazaRacism]

Latinos against La Raza racism!  Stop La Raza racism!

[traviesolocke]

lol. inviting millions of undocumented illegals to stay all warm and cozy in our country is border line treason, in my opinion. I dont exactly love McCain, but Obama is just plain stupid. i'm latino. but i'm not ignorant. hey latinos, and everyone else, do your RESEARCH. i mean REAL extensive research before you vote!

[antiTyph0n06]

fuck obama and the la raza!

[empemitheos]

lol, "la" does mean "the" ;)

[Wiishit23456withvids]

you are the best Barack Obama! Obama 08

[rodman332]

JOIN THE MILITARY

[Rockynurse]

LOL Illinois has the highest crime rate in the US! LOL

[iriemogley]

Latinos- He deserves our vote!!

McCain at an immigration rally?

LOL yeah right.

This man talks the talk and walks the walk.

[FlashVirus]

You're saying that Obama should support illegal immigration? Why don't you check out that video to the right that says "lou dobbs" and rethink your stance.

[gallumhrasha]

the only thing i dislike about Obama is his issue with immigration, i kno he is trying to make EVERYONE happy but i believe in stopping illegal immigrants from comming into our country

[Maziz1234]

si se puede

[alcinoos]

I'm Spanish and I wish we had European leaders with his moral stance, his sound policies and his soaring rhetoric. I can only encourage Hispanic Americans to vote for him!

* * *

Soy español y desaría que tuviéramos líderes europeos con su talla moral, sus sólidas políticas y su retórica elevada. Sólo puedo animar a los americanos hispanos a que voten por él!

[TruthInPolitix]

Yes! Please don't buy into this sick "black vs. brown" idea that Bill and Hillary are pumping for *their* gain (not ours). Obama is not a black candidate, he's not a white candidate, not hispanic, not asian -- He's an *American*, and he is by far the best choice we have for president this go around. Si, se puede? Yes, we can!

[Redeemedsinner17]

Arriba obama!!

[lillemau89]

if i was an american citizen i would vote for Obama but i live in sweden.

[yagurly]

Barrack Obama makes a lot of sense. He and Hillary are the only ones who know what they're talking about. They have determination to better this country and WILL make a difference. We ALL know how Republicans work, we can currently see what Bush has done, not only to the country but to the people too. Hillary or Obama...which REAL president will we choose?

[TroubleMaker20071]

what i want is health care, ive been almost 1 and a half years without health care, last week i was with a fever of 107 degrees, i couldnt go to the hospital, although i was dying. what about the immigrants? Not all of them are bad, we just need them to apply the legal way. my dad cant find a job since their taken by immigrants, instead of the employers going to EDS they go to streets and hire them from there. I cant vote but you adults can.

[Insanelycool]

Why do people assume there is no plan because they are too lazy to listen or look.

[CG3DPacoMorales]

I love this man :)

[CG3DPacoMorales]

Bravo Obama :)

[lilc4u]

How old is he?

[BeAnBeAn22]

lets see u recite this speech. we need Martin Luther King bak

[Obeyprogress]

Obama is the truth.

[jumpman23jumpman]

you are the man Obama

[Obeyprogress]

Preach preacher.

[BIGNACHO13]

vote obama 08-12 100% barak obama

[comocabron]

100% Obama

[jebustheone]

If a democrat has to win, then id rather obama gets presidency. I especially hope that clinton does'nt get elected.

[tanmack]

Obama said nothing specific about his views on immigration reform. Too many people define compassion for the unauthorized immigrants according to permitting them to stay or discouraging more to come. Compassion does not mean allowing them to come work a five dollar job. It might mean changing our policies so that their lives aren't so meaningless in their homeland.

[soniabianca]

Obama, He'll be a president that WALKS! Can he walk away from the mic please?

[prophetbyronmotley]

People will hear me say,"Viva LaRaza!" When you hear me say that, I mean "I am with you in your struggle and I support the cause!"

[prophetbyronmotley]

Jehovah God is a God of love and mercy, and I ask of those who are in the closed door politics; where's the love and mercy in turning your backs on our neighbors? I am going to protest USA immigration policy because it must be changed! We must place a welcome matt at the door of the USA for all who want to work and to make a fair wage for fair work! Illegalism means our neighbors will continue to be used, and that cannot continue! Viva La Raza! Watch the video I have posted! Thank You!

[prophetbyronmotley]

I have come to realize that God wants ALL honest people to have a chance to make a way for their families! The USA cannot continue to shut the door of opportunity in the face of it's poorer neighbor to the south! It is time for real change and change is comming!

[wize11]

well he got my vote

[EkBalam707]

La Raza = El Pueblo, la Gente, Das Volk, la Nacion, brown, white, yellow, black, pink, red & blue. Mexico is a Nation within the USA.

Mestizo means Multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-lingual.

We, Americans are mestizos unless you live in an Indian reservation away from the civilzation and global village.

[OSIDEGANGBUSTER]

"La Raza = El Pueblo, la Gente, Das Volk, la Nacion, brown, white, yellow, black, pink, red & blue. Mexico is a Nation within the USA."

La Raza = The Race, which explains why they never say it in English.

[DavittFinol]

that's not what mestizo means. just pecause a bunch of people from different races live together doesn't make them a mestizo.

Mestizo is a person of mixed race.

[WiseUp89]

Truth be told. La Raza Cosmica.

[Nezahualcoyotl7]

Nosotros hemos estado en este continente desde hace mas de 700 siglos!

Nuestra Nacion se extiende mas alla de las fronteras geopoliticas creadas en 1848!

Las civilizaciones que representan a nuestros ancestros fueron las mas evolucionadas del hemisferio, y por ende, somos el corazon cultural de este continente bautizado America.

Los Virreinatos Ibericos en Norteamerica tambien son un orgullo Nacional, porque los Mexicanos somos una Nacion elegida por la Virgen de Guadalupe y Dios!

[johnallanzero]

it always disconcerting to hear candidates give evangelist-like, emotionally motivated, pre-written speeches, spouting nothing but keywords and never actually saying anything of value. why can't this guy just simply answer a simple question? mr. obama, what exactly would you do about immigration? that is, besides 'walk the walk'?

[woofakawa]

So What is he going to do about immagration?

Politicians.He has been coached well to not say anything meaningful

[QueenFreak39]

Well said brother

[pedroza2005]

I think I like this man :-)

[poliwog87]

you gabachos you are idiots its called pride something it seems none of you know anything about. You have no sense of culture la raza is not something that is racist we are a community a Hispanic community and as seen in the rallies for reform we band together for a unifying purpose. you are all talking out of your asses get a life

[Racerboy2000]

I love this man!

[DonAlebrije]

Si no saben hablar el idioma occidental de los americanos en Estados Unidos pues regresense pa' Inglaterra su tierra.

Esto es america no anglolandia!

[Nezahualcoyotl7]

Arriba los democratas!

USA necesita recuperar la democracia.

[godswordsheal]

I don't think I heard a plan...

[PanchoTonatiuh]

La Raza - El Consejo Nacional de la Raza; Es la organizacion hispano mexicana mas importante en los EE.UU.

La Raza es la gente, el pueblo, Volks, folks, la nacion! Brack Obama tiene buenas ideas y representa al partido menos peor. Probablemente le demos nuestro voto secreto a la mera hora de votar.

Vamos Dems! A recuperar la Democracia!

[AliMexikano]

We shall overcome! We support Democrats and democracy!

Si se puede.

[PanchoTonatiuh]

La Raza Consejo Nacional de la Raza, la organizacion hispano mexicana mas importante en los USA.

La Raza es la gente, el pueblo, Volks folks! Brack Obama tiene buenas ideas y representa al partido menos peor, probablemente le demos nuestro voto secreto a la mera hora de votar.

[navcomtyp]

Please... please... please replace this video with one with more details. If I only got my info on Obama's stand for this topic out of this video, I wouldn't vote for him. Please replace.

[enricocollitti]

no need to be racist, he is the pride of many african american, smart , intelligent, and a good example for many african american kids,, god bless

[drewd2]

I like Barack, but this is a bad video. I want details! I can listen to every candidate say how their whole life is based around this issue, but that doesn't mean they have good ideas to fix it.

[delrio13]

Racial hate is a derivative of ignorance. Roby6061 Educate yourself before you make a stupid comment. Do you have an idea how many Americans live in Mexico? For you information, there is over a million Americans living in Mexico, and they don't get arrested. Furthermore, some of you don't know how to write English, and you expect illegal inmigrants to know it?????

[nerdelicious5]

Obama's the real thing. I'm voting for him.

[hatchbx]

!!!!!!!!!!!!VIVA OBAMA, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adrianotween584]

I am sorry to burst your bubble but it seems like he did do a march so he did something about it.

[helio2]

I'm voting for Obama, but i will be honest, any President is better than the current one.

[XxoCaliGirloxX]

Tancredo is CRAZY, have you heard some of the stuff he's said he wants to stop LEGAL immigration & bomb Mecca

Obama 08

[mariacollege]

I am anxiously awaiting the results for our new president. I'm hoping that the year 2008 will open the door to a minority in the presidential office. I agree- it IS time for a change. Get out and VOTE!!!

[mudknott]

he is the man... he is not a fool!.. thats why nobody wants america cause people of you..you all are racist!..

[cryora]

This video doesn't quite answer all questions regarding Obama's stance on immigration. Alright, so it seems like he is going to side with the immigrants, but what will he do with corporations who encourage illegal immigration and take advantage of them, resulting in increasing populations of families who are barely getting by? Alot of these immigrants who aren't doing particularly well financially join gangs to sell drugs, contributing to more crime.

[bklynsam]

If you are basing your evaluation on one speech or YouTube videos or 30 second debate answers you are never going to get a clear picture of any candidate. Do some research at his website. His policies are intelligent, comprehensive and show a much deeper understanding of the complexity of the problems we face and impressive solutions.

[cryora]

Yeah, his site certainly answered my question. But I think my previous comment was criticism of Youtube, though, for not providing a good video. Meh.

[bklynsam]

Ah, I see your point now, I think. A video still can't take the place of a detailed policy statement, but if the campaign wants to give a viewer the best idea of Obama's immigration stance, more information could have been included and would have made for a better representation of his policy.

[alwaysending]

because they are well thought out and written by someone other than himself :) like all the other big wig campaigners

[bklynsam]

Obama doesn't need anyone to think or write for him. Again, just a little research will tell you that.  He is not your typical politician. He could very well be the very best president of my lifetime, and I'm 56 and don't say that lightly.

[Psulionae]

I admire and respect this man and he is the only politician I have ever said this about. He is the only politician I support whole heartedly and if you haven't gotten to know him and what he stands for please go out and read his book The Audacity of Hope. It was powerful and I believe in his work and his ability to cross barriers to bring us together and to make this a better country for all!

[asefati]

Obama is too honest for America. America likes presidents who promise during their campains and then screw their voters afterward ....its a vary sad reality but best of luck to Senator Obama.

[coulibaly203]

don t worry we about to change ,hope action B.OBAMA 08

[chrisyouri]

Vote for Obama, he is worth it. Tom Tancredo is racist.He will NOT win all he cares about is one issue.

[turtledr14]

listen to all there words but really listen how they say them

watch there eyes. Obama for prez. power tothe people.

[supremovengador]

Dont say latinos are bad because of gangs or bad latino people you´ve met, there are shitty people in all races. so think better what you say and focus on whats really important, unity, work, respect to people and nature. and after that tell me something more interesting than beating latinos out of us.

[supremovengador]

if we as people leave behind all this ideas of fighting against each others we would become a better race as a whole not as whites blacks latinos or whatever, we are humans we have to evolve in order to survive and co-exist with nature and among each others.Comments like yours just makes us go back as racional beings.I dont hate you or anything by saying that, that would be doing what you do.

[DarkeningAngel123]

i hope he wins

i think its great!

to help out people who cant get a decent job

and students who cant get into collages only becuase their not from this country , when they have been studying for all their lifes!

[DarkeningAngel123]

your calling my cousin dangerous the man is working so hard to and now he cant even go to collage

wake up everyone not all illegals are bad

atleast do something about students visas.

[DarkeningAngel123]

but what about people who want to make a better future you just cant kick them out?

sure some Latinos are bad but the ones who are more into their future you cant just say no to them.

[DarkeningAngel123]

well i agree kicking out every single illegal with a bad criminal record, but what about the ones who to study and want go collage and make a better future?

[Marliology]

Obama is definitely the real deal. If you look at his track record you will see that he has been real through out his political life and not just recently because of campaigning.

[idontknowanothername]

I would love to see the cost of living when all the Mexicans are gone. lol You people are hilarious calling La Raza the "brown KKK". I'm so sad to see the lynchings of White people are starting to slow down. Whew. Gangs formed by Hispanic people that are proliferating are from El Salvador genius. For every white person who claims racism is dead and an excuse for the infamous "race card" are walking contradictions.

[idontknowanothername]

Education problems? I am from Detroit which has to be one of the worst public schools systems in the country. It is not an Illinois issue, its a national issue. Every person in office vows to keep in mind the Education system but which system is most often effected by tax cuts? You guessed it. BTW If a new football stadium is constructed then property taxes collected by most city governments offer those funds to the schools systems. So in effect that would help the system as oppose to hurt it.

[StopGeneralizing2day]

Obama in 08 I am dropping my vote for Ron paul...Obama!!

[btn1111]

If this is what he did then hold him accountable. Write him letters tell him exactly how you feel. But Senator Obama supports education and I am surprised that he would do this.

[btn1111]

Blame the rise of gas and utilities in this country on the current Bush administration!

[lovesucks333]

GO OBAMA!
