In another example of his lack of genuine concern for Hispanic-Americans, President Obama blew off the annual conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials for the third year in a row: Leaders of a national Hispanic organization are criticizing President Barack Obama for skipping their annual conference for the third consecutive year after he promised as a candidate in 2008 that he would return as president. Some members of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials also are questioning Obama’s commitment to immigration reform, noting that deportations have increased under his watch — even as the administration intensifies its outreach for Hispanic votes. NALEO, which includes more than 6,000 Latino leaders who represent major blocs of voters in key electoral states, opens its annual conference Thursday in San Antonio. ..“In front of a group like NALEO, blaming Republicans for their intransigence on immigration reform and not addressing what the president’s own administration is doing to immigrants would not wash,” said [Democratic Rep. Luis] Gutierrez, who traveled with Obama to the 2008 NALEO conference. “So it isn’t surprising to me that the president is not showing up.” Luis Miranda, a White House spokesman, said the administration has shown “unprecedented” work and outreach on issues important to Hispanics. “The scope of the president’s efforts on behalf of Latinos and all Americans is not defined by his participation at one event, but rather by the work carried out every day to put our economy back on track and spur job creation, improve access to health care, strengthen education and reform our immigration system so that it meets America’s 21st century needs,” Miranda said. How long will Latinos continue to let the President and his fellow Democrats use them for political gain? The Dems’ failure to mount a legitimate, aggressive push for immigration reform while they controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress proves that they care far less about the issue than their public pronouncements would indicate. Just look at the significant legislation passed during that time. How many bills focused on immigration? That’s right: none. Heck, President Bush placed a far higher priority on the matter, sticking out his neck politically to support comprehensive reform in 2006 and 2007. In contrast, Obama’s handling of the issue has essentially amounted to, “Don’t worry, I PLAN on getting to immigration, I really do! Trust me! Just wait a little longer, and we can begin the ‘conversation’ on reform!” I’ve long held the firm belief that the Republican Party cannot assume an adversarial posture toward the Latino community and hope to maintain viability over the long term. Calling out the President on his shameful misleading of Hispanics could go a long way toward the goal of guiding their fundamental values and interests to their appropriate home in the GOP.

Latinos are not black enough for hObama. He likes his racists, black as the ace of spades. Besides, they occasionally eat non-union frijoles refritos and tortillas.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
