Cristina Saralegui endorses President Obama

Popular Hispanic talk show host and media personality Cristina Saralegui made her first ever presidential endorsement in favor of President Obama.

Building on the President's announcement that the administration will stop deporting certain younger illegal immigrants, the Obama campaign sought to boost its support among Hispanic voters, releasing Web videos in English and Spanish featuring a message of support from Saralegui. She praised Obama as a "principled man" that believes that everyone who "works hard and plays by the rules, should have a fair shot at the American dream." The Cuban-born Saralegui, dubbed the "Hispanic Oprah," hosted a long-running show on Univisión and after its cancellation launched "Pa’lante con Cristina" on Telemundo. She was included in Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Hispanics in America" list in 2005.
