According to the 2010 census, the Latino community is the fastest-growing segment of the @placeholder population. | Miami (CNN) -- For politicians seeking public office, a stop at the iconic Cafe Versailles is a must. This Little Havana institution has become a symbol of the strength of the Hispanic vote. Here, Cuban exiles have turned their conservative stance against the Castro regime into a political force to be reckoned with in U.S. politics. "It forces politicians to learn Spanish," said journalist Julio Cesar Camacho, "even if it's a few words." During a Republican debate last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann mentioned her visit to Versailles as she tried to establish a rapport with Hispanic voters. It was one of the first references to Versailles in the nascent presidential campaign season, but it likely won't be the last.

Obama, he said, 'changed the health care law without a vote of @placeholder' in 2013, 'effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it.' | President Barack Obama fired a double-barreled volley at Republicans on Wednesday, saying that the GOP is 'hating' him by pursuing a federal lawsuit over changes to the Obamacare health insurance law. The lawsuit received a go-ahead hours later by a 225-201 vote, passing the House of Representatives along largely party lines with five Republicans voting 'no.' Every Democrat opposed the legislation authorizing the lawsuit. 'There’s a bunch of stuff that needs to get done,' Obama told a cheering, partisan audience in Kansas City, Missouri just hours earlier.

Meyers says in the suit that the Italian-born Delpani expressed disdain for such groups as Jews, blacks and Americans as a whole. According to the suit, Delpani said he could "smell a black person when he entered a room," noted that "Jews stick together" and said Americans were "small-minded" and "dirty." A Revlon representative told the Post that the suit was a product of an unhappy ex-employee.

In high school and college, I found myself fighting stereotypes and answering absurd questions about @placeholder, such as "do people live in grass huts?" | (CNN) -- When the moment finally arrived, 86 of us stood up to utter 31 sacred words. I raised my right hand. My heart was pounding. All those years spent in public schools in America, I'd refrained from saying the Pledge of Allegiance. It was wrong to say it when my loyalties lay elsewhere. But that changed with a ceremony on a July day six years ago. And it changed me. I learned lessons about the meaning of country and more importantly, about myself. I'd been in America almost three decades but happily retained an Indian passport. Over the years, each time it was renewed, my green card changed to pink and white but the status remained the same: permanent U.S. resident.

Many American @placeholder will feel as if they are second-class citizens and it could push some angry young men toward violence. | (CNN) -- In less than a month, Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida plans to host "Burn a Quran Day" to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The pastor, author of the book "Islam is of the Devil," is using the burning to urge American Christians to "stand up" to what he describes as a monolithic Muslim threat. A Facebook page for the event has accrued thousands of "likes" and Jones has said people have been mailing him Qurans to burn. As a Muslim scholar, an adherent of one of the Abrahamic faiths -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- and as someone committed to interfaith understanding, I urge Jones to cancel this event. Not only are the actions of Jones contrary to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, but they are also against the ideals of the American Founding Fathers.

Armstrong laughed off the conspiracy theorists who believe the 1969 moon landing was faked, telling @placeholder's Malley that "800,000 staff at NASA couldn't possibly keep a secret." | It was one small interview for astronaut Neil Armstrong ... and one giant scoop for an Australian accountant, of all people. In the year's most out-of-this-world get, the first man to step foot on the moon sat down with CPA (Certified Practicing Account) Australia's Alex Malley to narrate his historic lunar landing in an extremely rare interview. Armstrong was the commander of NASA's three-man Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin spent about two hours on the surface before returning to the Eagle lunar module. The 81-year old American is famously reluctant to discuss the moon landing and has granted very few interviews in the last 40 years -- so why choose to open up to CPA Australia? Malley thinks he knows the answer.

In his opening speech at the ceremony Tuesday evening, Cazeneuve praised Bathily's gesture "of courage and humanity" which had become "the symbol of an @placeholder of peace and tolerance." | Paris (CNN)Lassana Bathily, who emerged as the hero of the Paris supermarket attack, received his new French passport from the hands of Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve at a ceremony in Paris. The French government decided to award citizenship to the Malian-born 24-year-old supermarket employee after he risked his own life to hide customers from hostage-taker Amedy Coulibaly earlier this month. Four people lost their lives in the hostage-taking and shooting at the kosher grocery store. But the 15 people whom Bathily led downstairs to hide in a walk-in freezer stayed safe. Bathily, who describes himself as a "practicing Muslim," told CNN affiliate BFMTV he switched off the freezer, turned off the lights and told everyone to stay calm. He went upstairs, following orders from the hostage-taker, but managed to run outside and tell police about the situation in the store.
