Obama campaign woos Hispanics with TV, radio ads

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Her Latin American background is clear in her speech as Lynnette Acosta talks about how President Barack Obama’s health care plan could help a diabetic neighbor.

Y el sabe que familias que son luchadores a veces lo han perdido todo porque alguien en la familia se enfermo?,’’ Acosta says in an Obama campaign ad. The English translation: ‘‘Family is very important to President Obama. And he understands that families that are fighters sometimes have lost everything when someone gets sick.’’
