In the days immediately after Barack Obama decreed an amnesty for 800,000 illegal aliens, the Democrat cheerleaders in the media have been giddily claiming that it has ignited Hispanic enthusiasm to vote for Obama. According to Obama’s steno pool, this decree solved a problem that has been plaguing Obama’s reelection campaign plans for months.
A Latino Decisions and America’s Voice survey found “registered voters” are “very enthusiastic” about Barack Obama’s announcement granting amnesty to these 800,000 people. Aside from the fact that there is a difference between enthusiasm for a policy and enthusiasm to vote for Obama, the “new surge of enthusiasm” only brings Hispanics’ desire to vote roughly in line with that found among blacks and young voters.
Enthusiasm among none of these groups stands above 48%. Numbers like this will not get Obama re-elected.
Before Obama’s announcement, 53% of Hispanics reported being less enthused about voting next November than they were in 2009. Thirty percent were more enthused to vote. The hidden gem in these numbers shows that an alarming 22% were excited to vote before the BIG announcement. Twenty two percent!
An August 2008 CNN Poll found 62% of Hispanics were looking forward to voting, which they did at a rate of 66% for Obama. By 2010, Hispanic voting patterns had changed as they returned away from Democrats. In 2010, Hispanics voted 63% Democrat, down from 69% in 2006.
Bad numbers speak for themselves.
The most recent survey of Hispanic voter enthusiasm before last weekend was completed in February by YouGov. It found that just 43% of Hispanic Democrats were looking forward to voting.
This means Obama’s BIG announcement may have moved Hispanic enthusiasm up 5 points. This “put him over the top”? That’s doubtful.
While all of this is playing out, it is worth noting that in 2008, CNN found that 92% of blacks were excited to vote, and they voted 95% for Obama. A February 2012 YouGov poll reported that black voter enthusiasm had fallen to 60%, which was what white voter enthusiasm was just before the 2008 election.
Remember these numbers; they make sense of Obama’s moves and prove that predictions of his victory are wishful thinking at best.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
PRACTICE WAVING GOODBYE.
I concur!
Maybe the Queen of England can send him a video on how to do it.
I don't know why this guy acts like Latinos are stupid. they can read the headlines, they just read them (mostly) in Spanish. Everyone knows he is a shysta…..and no one with a lick of snese really wants a shysta running their country….even if it ISN'T their country.
Hispanics are getting Smarter about obummer…
What the Hispanics need to be looking at is "What is his motives for offering this mere 2 year amnesty". What will he do in 2 years when he no longer needs their vote? Will he renew their work permits and visa's or throw them under the bus like he does everyone else when he no longer needs them.
it's becoming a very bumpy ride on the Obama bus, he seems to be throwing everyone under it lately.
It should be clear to the Hispanics that his motives for this is purely for votes and not because he sympathizes with their issue. He would have done it long ago when the Dream act was voted down in Dec 2010. However if he did it in 2011, the majority of people would have forgotten all about it by Nov 2012. I waited to do it intentionally until about 5 months from election to use it to play the sympathy card for Hispanics purely and solely for a vote and no other reason. Obama cares nothing about the Hispanics or any other race or creed of people in this Country, He cares only about power and money and what it will take to keep him in there.
Just wait and see what he has in store for people in America after Nov when he no longer needs to win their vote.
(typo correction) He waited to do it intentionally – not I waited
We can talk about race when it comes to voting, when it comes to who gets the government handouts, when we are handing out health care, but we can't say race when talking about who's the most VIOLENT group.
Mentioning race with one set makes you a "concerned citizen" while the other makes you a racist.
How about that…

They don't trust Obama any more than anybody else does. Everybody has seen him to be a pathological liar and sociopath.
My mother was born in Chihuhua where the Cristeros were strong, and I would very much like to believe this article, but I can't. I have already seen the useful idiot latinos praising the Baby Killing, Pro-Sodomite Obama over his unconstitional act. Congress must challenge him, Executive Orders are not sacrosanct!

Hispanics believe in America; which the bastard from Kenya does not. Hispanics believe in child bearing, which the abortionist from Chicago does not; Hispanics are predominantly Catholic, which the muslim came out with things to destroy the faith. Hispanics are not queer oriented; and this applies to blacks also. Obama should be sent back to Kenya or any other country, which will accept him. The manner, in which I referred to him in the first sentence, is due to my education. No reflection on the baby, but if your mother wasn't married, you were so considered. Please insist on that woman, who hated America all her life, leave the country with him..
Well said, and God Bless America!!
Well said!!! What the democrats are so ignorant about is that Hispanics are not a bunch of sheep following blindly the nonsense spouted by the democrat party and the mindless media. It is very insulting to read all this garbage by the democrats that picture the Hispanics as a bunch of fools. We're smarter and able to think for ourselves than the democrats give us credit for. We know the democrats want to keep the Hispanics and blacks under their thumbs. That's what the freebies are for. Keep them dependent. Enough is enough!!! Hispanics and blacks are AWAKE!!!!
Couldn't agree with you more but I still believe you have to watch out for the illegal ones because That asshole holder is sueing every state that wants to have voter ID cards so illegals can't vote
WE ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR ELECTING A CHILD INTO THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB ON THE PLANET—————-WE DID NOT CHECK THIS MAN OUT—AND FOR THOSE WHO TRIED TO SAVE US FROM OURSELVES WERE CALLED RACIST—-NOW KING KENYA NEEDS TO TAKE HIS FAMILY TO KENYA BEFORE HE HAS PROBLEMS LIKE HE HAS NEVER KNOWN BEFORE
Isn't this article rather assumptive? You're saying Hispanics are NOT excited about BO's amnesty, but a new poll says they ARE excited! New poll: Latino voters in battle ground states ENTHUSIASTIC about Obama DREAM announcement . . . http://www.latinodecisions.com/blog/2012/06/17/ne…
Well, you know, just because a person is Hispanic does not mean they think illegals should get a free ride! Most legal Hispanics think illegals should be sent back and have to apply just like they did. Our Congress needs to do away with ANCHOR BABIES!
You're right, Lieberty49. Hispanics are NOT thrilled with Obama's pandering to Hispanics….if his poll numbers went up it's because they are counting the fraud that democrats are counting on in November. That is why the democrats don't want Voter ID; so these illegals will vote under the auspices of democrat poll workers. Legal Americans of Hispanic background are not democrats. Our principles are in line with Republican values and what a lot of people don't understand is that thousands of Hispanics' last names don't end in "ez" so they don't know we are around, and intend to vote Republican!!!
One way to look at it, they have been signed into being citizens of the country. Many should be able to see what that would do to the country and not want a fool for a president. Of course many will be able to see beyond their nosed, and the favor he has done them and not be able or willing to be able to see any further. Maybe they will see that if he keeps on all o Mexice will be up here in the USA and they will be crowed out, again.
The Latinos and blacks of this country are nothing but pawns in this game of “not all there” obama. He is not all that smart. Not too intelligent, as his “speeches” tell us. He simply cannot speak without a teleprompter to tell him what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Even then, he gets the “big head” to go along with the big ears and big mouth, and tries to be smart on his own, and fails everytime. He opens his mouth, and his ignorance and stupidity come flowing out. It is the same with most Democraps, or, dimowits. Ignorance of unbeleivable proportions. Stupidity knows no bounds with these people, especially the black ones. It seems that they revert to their african beginnings, before they had the opportunity to be educated, which they have mostly ignored these days. Violence and “bling” are their main concerns these days, as the fiasco of “trayvon” has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, and beyond any reasonable doubt at all! I too, as with Seeks_the_truth, have become what I have been forced to become, racist. So, I have no respect, and less than no regard for these ignorant, by choice, idiots and freaks who behave as rabid animals. And if the Latinos do not get a clue and some intelligence, they will soon follow the path of the blacks, and into the same catagory. White people are tired of being pushed to the back of everything that our forefathers fought, and died for, and one day, we too will do what we must for our own survival. Even one black man says so, I forget his name, but even he said that one day that “the white man is gonna rise up, they are ANGRY, and one day, they will RISE UP!” He referred to obama as the “Long Legged Mack Daddy”, perhaps you all may have seen his video on youtube a couple of years ago………this little man was right, and he is one black man that I do admire, for he is intelligent and has enough brains and common sense to hate this “Long Legged Mack Daddy” in office! Whoever he is, GOD BLESS THAT MAN!
the latino "KING"has been crowned and is now assuming his dictator role-here is your taxes since we are all foreigners -I am giving you half of what a USA citizen that is poor pays-and if that is nothing and they get back money from earned income-you get double earned income my peeps -I have some good columbian on airforce one brothers-and I need you sales reps to canvass the nation for cash and valuables-remember michelle and barrack 's motto -one nation under China
Why would Hispanics be thrilled with Obama? They're not idiots…..he is the arrogant liar who thinks people believe what he says. His life has been one big lie…and he'll always lie and try to manipulate with his lies. What a useless guy he is. The scary thing is that he has destroyed much about our country and wants to continue the destruction for four more years. Remember all those lies in November.
Any self respecting Latino knows Obunghole is an idiot with all his stances and positions he took toward queers and the church.
What they don't believe the LIAR in chief, say ti isn't so.
I'm surprised Obama hasn't dressed up Biden in a Mariachi outfit and told everybody his VP is also Latino.
When I read these comments, I am always surprised that people see what I see, the arrogance and lies, and anti American behavior of this freak of nature, whose mother considered an abortion when pregant with him, and made the mistake of not doing so…………..she should have, for the GOOD of the entire world. Although I have changed my stance on abortion, this is one, ONE that I sincerely WISH WOULD HAVE HAPPENED every time I have to look at his ugly, hateful destructive face on television, planning even more destruction for our nation! And as a result of this hateful son of The Father of Lies, satan, being elected by the blind, and very stupid of this nation, I have become something, someone I never wished to be, nor would have become if not for this inferior, useless, stupid, insulting peice of kenyan waste in office. And to those who continue to call him “Mr.President”………….STOP IMMEDIATELY, he is NOT A PRESIDENT! His actions and behavior plainly tell all of us that he is not, nor does he want to be a president, he wants to be the likes of Chavez, and of Castro, a complete DICTATOR, and even worse, more like Hitler, who MURDERED ALL WHO DID NOT BECOME WHAT HE DEMANDED, HIS SUBJECTS AND WHO OBEYED EVERY COMMAND HE MADE! This INSULT IN OUR WHITE HOUSE WILL MURDER AMERICANS GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO SO! IF he is elected again, what will come afterwards is too awful to even begin to consider. Latinos, blacks and whites, as well as any other race of people in our nation, had better get a clue, or a lot of them, before even thinking of casting so much as one vote for this MURDERER IN OFFICE! I say that word, murderer, because I sincerely beleive he was behind the MURDERS OF BRIAN TERRY AND JAMIE ZAPATA in Fast and Furious, the debacle now playing out in our country! I beleive that right there is the reason he declared the Executive Privilage. Because he would not endanger his position for anyone, not even for Eric Holder, as Holder knows too much, and if he is forced to give those documents to Issa, the truth of the whole thing will come out……………..I do not beleive, for a split second, that this self centered, and self concerned demon in office would “protect” anyone but himself, his own worthless half breed ass is what he is “protecting” most of all!!!!!!!!!!! If he would allow, or have a part in this F&F, then I beleive that he would have no problem with sending us all to the camps to be EXTERMINATED, just as Hitler did to so many millions in WW2!
Don't they see through Obama. He is only giving them a stop-gap remedy for two years. I think O knows this will never cut the custer and then he can go back and say, well, I did my best. If latinos want a free country, they'd better go somewhere else, because nothing is free anymore. Sooner or later, everyone will pay the price.
