Obama campaign releases third set of Spanish ads
(CNN) - President Barack Obama's reelection campaign on Wednesday released two Spanish-language advertisements featuring personal testimonials of campaign organizers touting the president's efforts on jobs and health care.
The ads join a series of Spanish-language spots released in early May and late April, as the campaign seeks to win Latino voters.

Team Obama says the advertisements, and the prior ones, are running in Colorado, Florida, and Nevada - and feature one organizer from each of the three states.
The political ad spending tracking firm Kantar Media/Campaign Media Analysis Group said the Obama campaign has spent $971,000 to air the Spanish-language ads between April 19 and Tuesday. The first ad was released on April 18.
A poll released last week showed Obama's approval rating among Latinos was 61%, 34 points ahead of the favorability rating of GOP rival Mitt Romney, who stood at 27%.
Romney's campaign has spent a fraction of the Obama buy - only $5,880 - on a Spanish translation of their own English-language ad, CMAG said.

Obama otra vez si se puede!!!!
Obama shows his real concern for the Mexican people by his actions. Or should I say nonaction.
He sends troops to all corners of the Islam world to protect the people from the atrocities being committed against the people by armed groups, but he ignores the drug gangs slaughter of thousands of helpless people daily in Mexico. He turns a blind eye to the violence and makes no mention of the headless bodies found hanging from bridges or left in the street.
All he wants is a vote.
Hispanic people get it. They know Republicans care about their issues at election time only. Beyond the vote, all the Republicans see is either an illegal immigrant or somebody to clean their pool or make the bed in their hotel.
Sniffit, with Obama's record on the economy? I don't think any candidate would be scared. Especially if he keeps insulting other countries!
People have to make a choice, you are either proamerica or proillegal but you can't be both.
