During the primaries, Obama tried to equate civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King and United Farm Workers President Cesar Chavez. Then, in a recent speech to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, Obama insisted that he had worked with local Latino leaders as a young civil rights attorney in Chicago and argued that, in a weak economy, "few have been hit harder than Latinos and African-Americans."

Latino groups, as varied as the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity and the National Council of La Raza, celebrated Bush's nomination of [Alberto Gonzales] for attorney general in November 2004. Despite his weak credentials and ideological righteousness, Gonzales was widely praised during the confirmation process and later defended by Latino groups. The National Council of La Raza, which is currently calling for President-elect [Barack Obama] to nominate Latinos to his cabinet, had criticized President Bush for not bringing a Latino into his cabinet after the departure of conservative [Mel Martinez]. "We are very encouraged by the Gonzales nomination," declared NCLR. "We previously criticized the Bush administration for not having a Hispanic in the cabinet since the departure of former HUD...
