AUSTIN (AP) – Ahead of the critically important Texas primaries, presidential hopeful Barack Obama is pulling out all the stops to court the state’s Hispanic voters, which make up 25% of the population and which have traditionally supported Hillary Clinton.

Obama recently launched a series of ads targeting Hispanics which he hopes will win him friends. In one he speaks of dark-skinned commonality, saying “Brown and black share a long history of American oppression and we are brothers in our suffering, even though you beaners never had to do the slavery thing, and white people don’t keep stealing your music and pretending like they invented it.”
To further attract his target audience, the commercials contain clips of Obama speaking Spanish, although his heavy repetition of the phrase “el hope-o del change-o” was actually found to be a turn-off by some focus groups.
Obama’s campaign director, Mark Alexander, admitted that they faced an uphill battle in Texas.
“It won’t be easy,” conceded Alexander. “Hispanics are a superstitious lot and many of them fear that if they don’t vote for ‘La Diabla’, she will use her witching powers to visit misfortune upon their families. However, we believe that Obama’s clean articularity will coax these people away from the Home Depot parking lot long enough to vote on March 4th.”
If he wins, does anybody want to get a longevity pool going?
BUSHITLERR IS THE REAL TERRRORIST!
“clean articularity” – OMG that’s funny, Harvey.
‘La Diabla’ – priceless…
The bigger question in Austin is who will the hippies vote for? When I lived there they were the only thing worse than the freakishly large pests scurrying about. Although as I recall the hippie punching is unmatched in the lower 48.
Si me gano la Casa Blanca, me prometiejeron a matar todos los wados, y mis hermanos negros van a Africa. El mundo es tuyos!
Freakin Obama… what won’t he say?
Chocolatey Change – the new Obama candy bar guaranteed to please your microcephalitic palate. Mmmmm.

Hey where’s the WV part of NY? I have a guess, but it’s probably wrong.

so harvey… when did you start writing material for carlos mencia?
Ok, ok, I stole that from Carlos. But as they say in The Dead Pool, “It’s not a ripoff, it’s an homage!”
Hispanics can vote?
They can vote twice, as long as it is for McAmensty, Schillary, or Oobasama.
