The LGTBQ Victories of Obama for his Second Term - The DOMA Wall

Glaad Image

Tampa, Fl -- It won't be the end of the world, it will be the beginning of fair treatment to the entire population but with every small victory and even if at the DOMA is completely overturned there are still paradigms to break down in the most closed-minded sectors of the population that still see any advance of social rights as a corrupted form of socialism because they don't know the correct definition and see every help, every advance to the population as a form of selling the country.

The main victory of Obama on a long term in terms of social progress will be the repeal of the DOMA which was signed by a Bill Clinton on 1996, showing that even if two people are from the same party they can have a juxtaposition on their beliefs about civil rights but slowly Obama has taken steps into overthrown one of the biggest mistakes that was vetoed by a fellow Democrat.

If it wasn't for DOMA there could be a federal victory regarding the recognition of benefits to spouses, one of those examples that could be turned into a memory are the recognition of benefits for the armed forced spouses who are not entitled because of DOMA on the benefits of their better halves but at the end the overturn of DOMA will be in the hands of the Supreme Court but in the meantime Obama can continue his work in landing benefits to all soldiers equally but the situation can turn complex for the President as the legislative body is composed by the opposition but if he aims towards a congressional law then his odds can turn for better as well the lives of many people.

Employment Non-Discrimination Act can be an issue and one of the failed attempts on the Romney campaign when the former candidate offered jobs to all Americans but the speech of Romney was only half way truth to the reality that many red States such as Florida are oriented regarding discrimination based on sexual orientation and is a common practice to fire someone for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender and the person who gets fired in question have little to no protection to claim back because of the States laws regarding discrimination. That could be one more crucial victories if it's achieved on a Federal Level as it can grant protection to many individuals who feel threaten by their employers because of any biased speech any employee can give against their persona. Is not fair that even 30% of the States offer some protection, people are still getting discriminated against their personas.

Overall there has to be a reform to the immigration laws, that probably could strike as one of the biggest achievements of the Obama administration if DOMA is overturn, yet so far had been a few winning cases of bi-national couples and it could be a major victory because families beyond the hetero-normative standard can improve the economy when the nucleus is kept together and they are offered protection from the government. If Obama can realize that beyond who the person is, what color of his skin, religion, gender identity, ethnicity, if he achieves a general protection and defends the constitution even further then he will be remembered as one of the greatest civil leaders and the first President of the United States who stood for the LGTBQ community.

Duval County - Fl; A Decisive County For Obama to Win in Florida

Jacksonville - Fl

Tampa, Fl -- Is quite difficult to think about Duval County about one of the places that there is an enthusiasm for the Democratic party because historically this place has been Republican oriented albeit not necessarily strict as Hillsborough but yet Duval is extremely unpredictable with the voters trends because even if the orientation goes on the GOP doesn't mean they Grand Old Party will have a secure victory on Florida is they win voters on County Area.

There is a lot of contradiction in the area, if you drive to any part of the county you will find every stereotype imaginable, much as a starburst, from redneck Democrats, to amazing views and bridges as Chicago, inner city minnorities who will complain about crime, hipster Republicans drinking coffee at Starbucks and whatever you can imagine - yet it is one of the most misunderstood and under studied counties in Florida regarding political trends as well city management -. If we look the last two Republican mayors raised taxes and fees significantly, while the new Democratic mayor Alvin Brown has Tea Party activist hailing his fiscal conservationism, historically this county that Republican candidates win by 15% points can be nailed by a Democratic candidate much as the south part of the State.

On 2004, George W. defeated Kerry in Duval by a 62.000 votes margin, while previous candidate John McCain who is a former resident of Jacksonville barely went through the 10.000 votes, but do Obama has what it needs to conquer a predominantly red county?. Who knows?. From one side when he won on 2008 there was an enthusiasm because he was the first African American who conquered the hearts of people and motivated them to go out and vote, yet the other side of the problem rallies on the conformism of the people to not think beyond their bubble and complain for minimal details not even thinking that all the problems we have now are from the previous administration which was a Republican cabinet that lasted for almost a decade.

The problem is not in Duval, but rather how close he can keep it because if the campaign can't keep closer than seven or eight percentage points from the Republican campaign it will become hard to make up for those votes around the State. One of the elemental keys are the votes of the African-Americans because it compose a body of 530.000 voters who develop a decisive point in the electoral race as well a key in the victory of Obama.    

Immigration - Latinos, The Hidden Majority in Red States. -

http://www.glittarazzi.com Latinos x Obama

(Tampa, Fl) -- There is a moment when a minority becomes one of the majority power groups in a country and it  can make the status-quo to tremble down. Immigration has played an important part in the economical and social development of the country to the point that deny the possibility to someone who is running away from the place he or she was born because any external causes it's unconstitutional as many people who are immigrants are the ones who go out and fight for their new homes. Latinos after the big exodus of the 60's and the 70's after the rise of the populist guerrillas in the different south and central american countries fled on their majority to North America and Canada in search of a new hope, the hope of freedom of expression.

The immigration reform can become a pivotal move into Obama getting reelected for a second term on the states that are well known for their wide different ethnic groups that are trying to find a legal way to stay in the country they call home; but, also the reform is going to give the people Obama is trying to convince to vote for him the power of the vote for upcoming elections in November and that doesn't mean they are going to vote for him but the tactic of formalizing the immigration status of thousand of people has generated a positive boost on the sectors he left behind since his second year. Hispanics were a pivotal sector in key states such as Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia in the 2008 elections, having a 2/3 of the Hispanic votes according to the exit polls.

According to a poll conducted on the  17 - 30, June of 2012 week by the Quinnipiac University showed that Obama's support in Florida went up sharply but there are still different sectors divided regarding about job creations as well performance with the economy. According to the poll in Florida voters say that Romney would do a better job with the economy on a 48:44 there is a schism on the decision as 49:44 that Obama would veil the economical interest of middle class.

Probably the reform on immigration can sharp the interest of the Hispanic population as it's been on the decline since the last election four years ago, according to a recent poll held by NBC News and the Wall-Street Journal which place a margin on a 57% over a 5.7% point margin of error.

While Romney's campaign hasn't done anything clear to clarify their position on immigration laws after the former Governor had a complete fiasco on his home State of Massachusetts, there's been a national debate regarding what are the policies of the former Governor if he is going to though the immigration laws for worse or he is going to lose them up if he gets elected to gain more adepts as well to boost the economy. Probably if we follow his last trends on immigration policies up to the Arizona Law, we can see a man who slowly is digging his own grave by blaming his own mistakes on Mr. Obama.

There is another point regarding Romney's speech against his contender, it is true Obama was extremely passive regarding many social issues on the last three years as well the double digit unemployment around the Latino population, but there is no doubt the strategic plan of Romney is being condemn to a failure because he is creating an oxymoron in desperation of his failed politics when he was a governor. Now he supports the idea of unifying family to not separate family units; to give green cards to military service as well green cards for those who are earning advance degrees in the United States; it is amazing how a man can contradict himself in order to win even if he has to betray his own beliefs.

Latino's can become a decisive point in the upcoming elections if they any of the candidates knows how to play their cards but right now at the moment even if the Latino population show an interest toward Obama over Romney, they still remain a low-turnout group.

Beyond the Whores, The Political Scandals of the America's Summit

Obama at the Convention Center in Cartagena

Beyond the prostitution scandal in Cartagena de Indias; that became a point where show the weakness of the Secret Service of the United States, lust and power by the hands of a group of prostitutes or as they are called prepaid girls, but at the end that's what they are just plain old prostitutes.

But, the real problem doesn't lie exactly on the fault of the men of the Secret Service but rather a mix of bad politics because of the W. Bush administration in an 8 year period where deteriorated the face of America in a region as Latin America where is composed by mostly populist governments around different countries as well the anti-sentiment propaganda left by the populist movement who are not fanatics to see the intrusion of the market economy into their fragile economic systems.

Quoting an old phrase, is not the fault of the Liberal media agenda; there is no such thing as the liberal media; just a bunch of conservators who can't see beyond their egocentric noses as on the moment of making politics and choosing always the same line of candidates into their ranks who end up destroying the reputation of the country. Yes, I do blame the hegemony of the Republicans and their decisions at the moment of showing America a a tentacled beast instead of showing the opportunities the country business oportunities in the international grounds.

Obama was a saint on that meting, specially because much of his political opponents on an international level where there with the exception of Hugo Chavez. Legalization of the drugs, probably is hurting some parts of the continent such as Mexico and where Vicente Fox is a major supporter due the actions of the different cartels around his country as well as Evo Morales, the leftist but jolly Chief of Bolivia where he lectured Obama about a simple solution of demand and offer and how that solution can put a rest to the major problem of drugs in the Americas.

And as quoted by the Guardian Then, there is trade. Obama and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos also announced that the US-Colombian Free Trade Agreement would take full force 15 May. Colombian and US labor leaders decried the move, since Colombia is the worst country on Earth for trade unionists. Labor organizers are regularly murdered in Colombia, with at least 34 killed in the past year and a half.

When Obama was first running for president, he promised to oppose the Colombia FTA, "because the violence against unions in Colombia would make a mockery of the very labor protections that we have insisted be included in these kinds of agreements." That year, 54 Colombian trade unionists were killed. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said the announcement "is deeply disappointing and troubling". Republicans, on the other hand, are offering grudging praise to Obama for pushing the FTA.

On Cuba, Obama took the globally unpopular position of defending the US embargo. Even at home, polls show that a strong majority of the American people and businesses support an end to the embargo. The US also succeeded, once again, in banning Cuba from the summit, prompting Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa to boycott the meeting this year.
