U.S. President Barack Obama learn English with the Bible
The task that Barack Obama has proposed the vote-insure Latino obtained in 2008 and won 500,000 votes more, is not easy because the Hispanic population is dissatisfied with the "Yes, we can "and immigration reform that was promised but has not been done. But Obama is a man of faith. This week has shown in Washington attending the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, where he was presented with a Bible bilingual in English and English. The president promised to use it to pray and to "improve my English."

While U.S. census are always debatable, the "Latino" are at present 16 percent of the population. Not everyone can vote, but those who can are the key to winning in states as strategic as Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia, to name only those in which Obama won in 2008. He was defeated in the states of significant Hispanic vote in Texas, Arizona and Georgia.
Two-thirds of U.S. Hispanics are Roman Catholic, the predominant religion among them. Then there are about 15 percent of evangelical Protestants. Voters are complicated because on one hand their concerns migratory predispose them to vote Democrat, but his ideas and values \u200b\u200bin the familiar (for example, are largely against abortion) can get closer to more conservative options. On the other hand there is a future flow of a young Hispanic vote, accessible via the Internet.
Before an audience of leading Hispanic political and social leaders who had gathered for breakfast and to pray together and hear, Obama recalled his recent trip to the border between Texas and Mexico and introduced himself as a president committed to immigration reform, among other things, "and moral imperative '. "We are a country of citizens and laws", he said, evoking the U.S. multi-ethnic origins and quoting Deuteronomy to invoke tolerance abroad. The president blamed the Republicans have not been able to pass a bill to toughen border surveillance but soften the situation of immigrants already spent many years in the U.S., although entering illegally and especially the situation of their children were born in the country.
