[Music] Christina Saralegui: I came to this country when I was 12 years old because my parents wanted to give me new opportunities to succeed. With their support and a lot of hard work, I was able to pursue my dreams.
President Obama wants everyone to have the chances
I had. That's why he's working to put health care and a good
education within reach for more Americans, and supporting the Social
Security and Medicare millions of seniors count on.
This election won't just affect us right now; it
will have an impact on Latinos for generations to come. So, make
sure you're registered to vote, then start a conversation. Talk
to your friends and neighbors and make sure they are ready to make
their voices heard on November the 6th. Get started right
now. Go to BarackObama.com/Espanol. Because estamos
unidos. We can only do this together.

The description of the video...
Today Obama for America is proud to announce the
endorsement of Emmy
award-winning talk show host and community leader Cristina Saralegui.
Cristina
Saralegui, a seasoned journalist who is recognized as one of the most
respected and influential role models in the Hispanic Community, and
Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina released the following
statements regarding her endorsement for President Barack Obama. This
is the first time that Saralegui has endorsed a President or actively
participated in a presidential campaign. For 21 years, Cristina and
"The Cristina Show" entertained, uplifted, and educated the Hispanic
community in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Cristina
Saralegui: "I came to this country when I was 12 years old because my
parents wanted to give me the opportunity to succeed. Since then I have
sat back and watched many elections come and go,but it wasn't until
this election,and because of what I see in President Obama and know
he's accomplished,that I decided to get involved. President Obama is a
principled man who has worked hard to put healthcare and a good
education in the reach of millions of Americans and believes that
everyone who works hard and plays by the rules,should have a fair shot
at the American dream. He understands the Hispanic community and has
supported it unconditionally and that is why I was moved to endorse and
campaign for our President's reelection.
"This is a critical
time for our country and for the Hispanic community. Hispanics could
very well decide the next election and I will do everything I can from
now until November to ensure that President Obama is re-elected;there's
simply too much at stake. President Obama,I was very fortunate to live
the American dream and I know that only you will make it possible for
millions more to do the same. You've had our back,and now,with utmost
respect and admiration,I have yours."
Jim Messina: "'Cristina is
one of the most trusted names in the Hispanic community and we're
honored to have Cristina be a spokesperson for the campaign,speaking
directly to Hispanic voters about the Presidents accomplishments."
