What does President Barack Obama really think about Latino voters? Not much apparently if rumors are true that Assembly Speaker John Pérez is in consideration for a cabinet post.

It would be a grave insult to Latinos everywhere to select Pérez as an appeasement to Latino voters.

Consider that Pérez dropped out or flunked out of college — it isn't clear which. Did he go on to found Apple or Microsoft? Uh, no.

Obese and incompetent, John Pérez does not reflect or command the respect of Latinos.
