Henry Cisneros: It's time to tell Bonilla, Ya basta!

Here are the videos I promised.

San Antonio legend and former mayor Henry Cisneros appeared today at the GOTV rally with President Bill Clinton and asserted in a very animated style:  "I do not understand a man like Henry Bonilla, who grew up in this area, and yet has voted time and again and again against the interests of the people of this area.  It's time to tell him, Ya basta!  Ya acabo'!  Ya vete!"  (Video here.)

And for a brief video of President Clinton, himself, commenting on Bonilla's expressed happiness to see Clinton come to town, see here.

This is my first YouTube experience, so I'm not sure why the soundtrack doesn't quite align with the video. But they still provide an excellent sample of the flavor of the event this afternoon.

Wow - that's a great video of Cisneros! I really like the part where he gets all worked up and starts talking in spanish. My spanish-speaking abilities are a work in progress, but the gist of Cisneros' message to both spanish-speaking and non-spanish-speaking democrats was loud and clear, "It's time to tell Bonilla, enough already! You're already finished here. So get OUT already!" And then he pointed to the door with a flourish of his arm. It was great!

Wow, great pics and videos! Cisneros really knows how to get a crowd going and the Big Dog was in top form as usual. Good luck down there, I'd love to see another Dem win in Texas!
