Oprah Winfrey wasn't the only celebrity interviewer to snag a seasonal sit-down with President Obama. The president also spoke with singer Gloria Estefan for a special set to air Thursday on the Spanish-language network Univision, a White House aide confirmed.

Obama's appearance will complement a roster of Hispanic stars featured on the show, such as the singer Thalia, as well as everyday heroes, including a 90-year old grandmother from the Bronx who advocates for the elderly in her neighborhood.

I thought Gloria was a conservative

[I still care]

The perpetual campaigner. I thought Clinton was an egotist. What is it about Democrats that they are so in love with themselves?

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Gloria is a Conservative, but she has these shows every year. I think she is under contract.

When I lived in Miami I think she even made some 2506 picnics when I was there down in the Redlans...I reckon if they want her to interview Bro she has to but I’d shun him if I could were I her.

Her husband has been apponited by Obama to some Latino Museum commission fwiw

The Hispanic Youths here in the Bay Area already do a lot of volunteerism and service. They are fervently dedicated to painting over all of our public and private spaces.

That's why a lot of them don't have checking accounts - it's too hard to sign them in spray paint.

May have been while Bush was in office but she's gotta go with the flow, ju know?

[lonerepubinma]

Will the interview be in Spanish ? Didn't the media give Bush a hard time because he was fluent in Spanish and not French like the Kerry ? I can't seem to recall anyone questioning Obama about his foreign language skills.

[Chunga]

Is there a reason you responded to the thread?

Yes, to ask you a question. Are you going to answer it?

[wardaddy]

You know..aside from south bashers and race baiting crybabies I like about everyone here.

So have a good day Chunga.
