Obama was out and about early this morning at the University of Puerto Rico in Bayamon commemorating the veterans of Puerto Rico.
“It’s fitting to be here today, not just because Memorial Day is around the corner but because Puerto Ricans are such an important part of the United States military. On this island and in Puerto Rican neighborhoods across America, you can go into almost any home and find a veteran living there or a photograph of a loved one in uniform hanging on the wall,” Mr.Obama said.
“You have my assurance, veterans here in Puerto Rico will be treated the same as veterans everywhere else.”
Then it was off for a “caminita” with the future president who marched along the streets of San Juan with supporters who held a “Puerto Rico con Obama” banner.
“I will never forget the support and the friendship that I’ve seen here in Puerto Rico. … I am absolutely confident that if that we keep on working hard, there’s no reason why we can’t win here in Puerto Rico, and if we win Puerto Rico, we will win the nomination.”
AND A SHOUT OUT to pedro for the hot posters!
