The U.S census Bureau, reveals that “Hispanics constituted 14 percent of the nation’s total population.” The Latino vote was also very important in this election. According to “The Dallas morning news”, When it comes to voting, the Latinos put as their top priority the candidate that has better ideals in Economy. This is very important to them. What could be a reason for this way of thinking, is that the majority of the Latino people in the U.S come to this country to make their “American dream” come true. Which in another words would be, look for better opportunities of getting a job and making money. So obviously that’s what they base their vote on. With Obama's proposition of reducing taxes and helping middle class people, it was obvious to see a positive reaction in the Latino population. Also in my very personal opinion an being part of the Latino community, I think that the fact of Obama not being white gives him more votes from the Latinos, because we like that. Now it can be prove that to become president of the United States you only need a birth certificate, and blue eyes are not required.
