The “Latina Oprah” Throws Her Support Behind Obama (VIDEO)

Posted on 26. Jun, 2012 by Stevie in Election 2012

Last week, President Obama received a major endorsement from the Latino community when Cristina Saralegui, a famed talk show host, endorsed him.

Saralegui has been referred to as the “Latina Oprah” for her high-profile role in connecting with Latinos through her TV show, “The Cristina Show.” To date, she has never openly supported a presidential candidate.

So, the president’s team was QUICK to promote Saralegui’s ties to the campaign. In case you have been living under a rock, the Obama campaign is dead-set on winning the Latino vote. The executive order last week to halt deportations of young immigrants should have been a clear sign that Obama is playing no bald-headed games in this election.
