Obama releases Spanish-language radio ad

Now playing on a Spanish-language radio station near you: "Soy Barack Obama y yo apruebo este mensaje."

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee unveiled a new Spanish-language radio ad Wednesday in Colorado and three other swing states as his campaign continues to court Hispanic voters.

The ad, entitled “Nuestro Propio Camino” (“Our Own Way”), is Obama’s first Spanish-language radio ad. It will air statewide in Colorado, as well as in Florida, New Mexico, and Nevada, the Obama campaign said.

The ad focuses on Obama's roots and rise to power, and touts his work on job training, after-school programs, and helping welfare recipients secure jobs.

"Despite the political pressure," the ad states, "Obama has stood with us for immigration reform and spoke out for our veterans."

English translation of "Nuestro Propio Camino":

Barack Obama: I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.

Announcer: Some people have power and connections.
 
But most of us have to make our own way through life.
 
This is true even for the man who could become the next President ... Barack Obama.
 
He grew up without a father - raised by his mother with the support of his grandparents.

Obama never forgot his roots...

He worked with churches to help families get job training and after-school care for their children.
 
In the State Senate, he passed a law that helped reduce the welfare roles by over 80% by helping families to secure jobs.
 
And despite the political pressure, Obama has stood with us for immigration reform and spoke out for our veterans.
 
It's time we had a President who understands we all deserve a chance to make our own way.
