When will PE Obama name a Hispanic American to

[Sebass1271]

something in his Cabinet? I feel we are being left out. Not that is a criticism, but i am just wondering if we will ever be considered. I am sure he can find good qualified candidates outthere.

1. AP source: Richardson serious Commerce contender

2. And Grijalva apparently strong for Interior

[Bobbieo]

4. Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-A) is being considered for

Interior Secretary and I could not be more pleased or impressed.

9. I really like Raul... i will be very pleased if PE Obama

appoints him to any cabinet position. I belong to the Latinos for Obama organization and they are waiting. The organization is strongly against a march that is being organized by some other Hispanics to take place on January 21st. a day after PE Obama inauguration. The Latinos for Obama group/org is fighting tooth and nails with the other hispancis to not hold this march.

3. is this a joke, or simply premature?

Richardson as commerce secretary.

[Sebass1271]

18. its not a joke.. it is humble question. I didn't meant

to offend anyone.. I am very excited about President-Elect Obama, and it is really a thrill to see the constant braking news of the people he is choosing to work with him.

20. oh, not offended "premature" is not an insult, just meant you might have

posted the question before finding out richardson is being suggested.

5. If Obama doesn't name some prominent hispanics to his cabinet..

I myself will go to DC and snatch him bald. ;)

No, but really, we could not have won this election without our hispanic brethren. That should be recognized and rewarded. :grouphug:

[Sebass1271]

12. Yes. We organized throughout the 50 states

Organized separately and raised our voices against right wing Hispanics on the Hispanic radio markets. Especially here in South Florida. This organization and the fast response we had happened independently from the Obama campaign. We are a large group from other closed race states..

13. I didn't know that. Have you posted about the effort?

It would be really interesting to hear what worked for you. :hi:

[Sebass1271]

17. Yes, I have. In the past.

We were monitoring the Hispanic media, newspapers, magazines, radio locally and statewide, including the internet blog sphere in Spanish. Personally, in South Florida i was invited by a local A.M. radio station to "defend" (as they put it) Obama's policies on Hispanic issues. They clearly stated before I came on air that I did not represented the campaign, but that I was a strong supporter. This also happened in New Mexico, Nevada, Los Angeles, PA, and Ohio Hispanics strongholds..

10. Not sure I like this "PE" abbreviation for "President-Elect"

Pretty soon, he'll be known as "PE B.O." and that just has a nasty connotation.

:rofl:

14. It's traumatizing those of us with horrible gym class memories!

*ducks*

11. I predict today. n/t

[EFerrari]

15. I hope Richardson gets a good position. He's very talented

and he stood with Obama when it was even money they'd lose.

[aquart]

16. A little premature?

[Thrill]

19. Paitence. Womens Groups jumped the gun early. Only to see Obama

roll out Clinton as Sec State, Napolitano as Homeland Security, and rumors of Gov Sebelius for Energy or Education

21. Richardson got offered Commerce Dept today
