Casa Blanca Camino 2012 : Newt Co-Opting Change and Challenging Obama’s Executive Order Use
10:33 am By Maegan La Mala · Casa Blanca Camino 2012|DREAM Act|Immigration|Politics · Comments Off
23 May 2011I never thought that my first official post regarding the 2012 U.S. presidential election and the campaigns to get there would be focusing on Newt Gingrich, Spanish language hater turned ghetto language lover and Republican presidential wannabe.
But here we go.
This video, via the Christian Science Monitor, was in VivirLatino’s inbox and features Gingrich talking about himself as the real “change” candidate which makes me wonder if this will be the regurgitated buzzword of the campaign trail. What I found really interesting, was that in talking to this small group, was the way Gingrich challenges Obama’s use (or really lack thereof) of Executive Orders. Needless to say ( I hope), while I am not in agreement with any of the Executive Orders Gingrich is all hyped up about signing if he were voted in (shudder), in the context of the DREAM Act and Obama’s continuous denial of the ability to do anything to protect DREAMers, I think we have an interesting opportunity for follow-up and pushing. Obama is using the DREAM Act as a fundraising buzz word while his Department of Homeland Security keeps putting DREAMers in deportation.
Palin/Dobbs 2012 : The Clueless About Latinos Ticket
8:00 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Books|Media|Politics · Comments Off
25 Nov 2009When Latinos fail, lose, or get fired we are statistics, stereotypes even. When the losers are white they get to have book tours and run for president?
For the last two weeks, two media figures who should have been done for are showing their faces more than ever and with followers to boot.
First we have Sarah Palin and her nationwide book tour. No, I haven’t read the book but if Palin’s publisher wants to send VivirLatino a review copy to do a Latino perspective, I will. Seems like she could use some help in the Latino issues department.
“She did not feel comfortable speaking about issues regarding Hispanics and Latin America,” GOP consultant Ana Navarro told Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in an interview. “Those are not topics that come up frequently in Alaska. So she asked to cancel the interview and, unfortunately, you were already there.”
Seems like her target readership could use some help in the issues department in general.
Hola!
