Obama Releases Spanish-Language Campaign Ad

Probably to target all those illegal immigrants his buddies at ACORN will be registering to vote (illegally) this fall.

(CNN) — Barack Obama’s campaign released a new Spanish-language radio ad Wednesday that will hit the air in battleground states with large Latino voting blocs, after mistakenly sending out an earlier script of the spot that included a reference to the Illinois senator’s immigrant father.

“Some people have power and connections. But most of us have to make our own way through life,” says the announcer in “Nuestro Propio Camino.”

That statement from the ad is an interesting one.  Obama suggests that the most successful Americans only got that way because of nepotism and cronyism, where as average middle class Americans have to actually work for a living.  But is that really true?

Seems to me that most rich people - though I’ll grant that not all - get rich because they’re smarter and work harder than the rest of us.  And it also seems to me that politicians like Obama are trying to make it so that certain demographics in American society live at the expense of the most successful Americans.

Already our tax code amasses the vast majority of the tax burden on “the rich,” and the majority of spending our government does goes into entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security alone combine for a bigger slice of our federal budget than anything else) that are funded by those taxes.

Meaning that “the rich” pay a hell of a lot of taxes to pay for government programs that, for the most part, benefit everyone else.

So Obama can talk about people who have to make their own way in life, but in reality he wants to pander to Americans with higher taxes on “the rich” and more government programs so that they make their way in life at the expense of others.
