Several celebs from the Latin music and film community released a Spanish-language video in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama last week. Podemos con Obama, or We Can With Obama, features Jessica Alba, George Lopez, and Don Omar.

Senator Barack Obama is reportedly the subject of a $100 million FBI security operation after the Democratic presidential nominee was named as a target in a series of death threats from at least three White supremacists organizations; the National Socialist Vanguard, the American Nazi Party, and the Ku Klux Klan. The move, ordered by Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff, is the biggest ever security operation surrounding a candidate for president. Obama, his wife Michelle, and the couple’s two daughters are under round-the-clock protection from the Secret Service.

“All three groups are seen as posing a threat. But the Klan, in particular, has a nucleus of supporters who are prepared to pursue violence to get their message across,” says an operation insider. “Certain characters would be making a very big mistake if they tried to follow through any of these nasty threats.”

The Queen of Talk says she’s “euphoric” that Democratic candidate Barack Obama is well on his way to becoming the Nation’s first African-American president.

“I’m euphoric, I’ve been doing the happy dance all day. I’m so proud of Barack and [his wife] Michelle Obama and what this means for all of us … the new possibilities for our country. And if he wants me to, I’m ready to go door to door,” Oprah said in a statement Wednesday.
