Obama Campaign Will Use The Power Of Technology To Annoy You In Spanish

telephone_2.14.08.jpg

We’re not sure if it’s because everyone we know and (at one point) loved is creaming their jeans over Obama, but we cannot. Escape. His. Campaign. Maybe it’s because we are Hispanic and female and they have THE FUTURE and so much audacious hope on their side:

This week, the Obama campaign organized volunteers to make thousands of phone calls to get out the vote using an online phone-banking tool.

Tool is right. Jesus.

The technology helped the campaign target rival Hillary Clinton’s base of Hispanic voters and female voters. The Obama campaign reports that volunteers made 5,000 calls in Spanish in Virginia alone, using its online Spanish phone-banking tool.

You know what’s a good way of ensuring we will never, ever vote for your candidate? Calling us. And you know what an awesome way of making sure we start a rumor that your candidate ass rapes little puppies? Texting us.

Two words: Caller ID, cabrones!!!
I never pick up from a # I don’t know. Its either a collection agency (damn you student loans!) or a sales call.

my VA residing parents got the calls but it wasn’t just B.O., the Hillz also hit them up but they voted for her anyway - they’re upset she got crushed
