According to this news report weeks before the election Obama meet with Hilary Clinton and Latino political leaders to make a deal.....Seats on Obamas cabinet and sub-cabinet- level for votes. Gets lots of Latinos to turn out for me and I will give you positions in my government.

How is that change? That is politics as usual. Quid quo pro. Or rather give me what I want and I will give you what you want.

Gwoman, it is bull. Every politicians when seeking election tends to make promises to the Money Gods them. Yes put in a million in my campaign and I promise you that I will look after you. It happens in EVERY countries worldwide. Just say that you will be looking to see what is happening. Politics is dirty and tricky so don't believe that Obama is all ANGELIC he is a politician. We love him because of his policy but still he is a Politician and they are not to be trusted.
In my country there is a saying "don't put yu eggs in one baske'" simply put don't put all your trust in Obama because he is a man and man is failure. Just pray and hope that all he does is in the best interest of America.

On Obama's new website he writes Obama and Biden support a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens. Wow does that not sound like amnesty to you all over again. Obama and Biden support a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens. I that does not sound like more of your and my hard earned money going down to Mexico then I do not know what.
To me Obama is selling out America so he could win states like New Mexico and Colorado. The only change I see is what America stands for. America is suppose to be ruled by laws, not what can you do for me today. What am I miss Lilwonders?

Hello lilwonders, I don't think that anyone should be misguided as to who and whom should be in Obama Administration. Yes when an election is called and the party you have supported has won you want a slice of the cake. A slice of the cake does not means that one should be in the house too. Too many times people speculate and when the things that they expect to happen does then negatives start to arrives.
I hope that Obama didn't make any hardcore promises to no one. Let us see who will be in his administration it is early days.

Well we will have to wait and see. But it is disturbing if true. He ran on change. And on not pandering to lobbyist and special interest groups.
I can understand wanting a deverse cabinet. But to actually trade votes for political positions is shady.
