The Democratic presidential candidates have been paying more lip service to Puerto Rico in anticipation of the island’s primary this Sunday. In Barack Obama’s case, his campaign has issued a Spanish-language ad.
It’s meant to be uplifting and Obama’s accent is not too thick or distracting. But I cannot help but shake off the feeling that, much like Mitt Romney’s guayabera, the ad is terribly pandering.
See the ad for yourself:
