LOS ANGELES, CA - On Sunday Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa made his second appearance on Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer to serve as an authority on Latino voters across the country.

Villaraigosa said that Latino's are more concerned about participating in American society than job losses since Obama's election.  Accordingly, according to Villaraigosa, Obama should not lose Latino voters this fall. "Latino's want to be part of the fabric of American society," he said.  "What will Mr. Romney do to get George Lopez or a new George Lopez on TV?" he quipped.  

Villaraigosa also defended the use of gasoline powered leaf blowers by many Latino immigrants. "The leaf blowers are not a big deal to most Americans, and Latinos depend on them to keep America beautiful."

Mayor Villaraigosa refused to answer questions on whether he would sit for the California Bar Exam for the sixth time. "You know, Bob, I'm happy in public service and I have no intention to leave it.  So no more exams por favor."
