President Obama asks New Jersey Latino voters to support Governor Corzine in his upcoming bout for re-election. The half-Spanish, half-English (with Spanish subtitles) ad features President Obama telling voters that the future of New Jersey is "in your hands," or "en tus manos." This is the first direct to camera political ad that President Obama has recorded since taking office.

Citing the similarities between his fight on a national level and Governor Corzine's fight here in New Jersey, President Obama praises Corzine as "the leader New Jersey needs in these tough times," for his focus on improving health insurance, getting the economy back on track and ensuring everyone gets a quality education.
