Some spice for your morning.
More than 20 stars from the Latin music and film community released a Spanish-language video in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Thursday, days before Puerto Rico's primary.
The video, Podemos con Obama, or We Can With Obama, features such Puerto Ricans as actor John Leguizamo and hip hop artist Don Omar, and international pop stars Alejandro Sanz and Paulina Rubio. Actors George Lopez and Jessica Alba also participated.

Produced by Andrés Levin, the video was inspired by one he made earlier this year Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, titled We Are The Ones, and unveiled just before the Democratic primaries in Texas and Ohio in March. Both Alba and Lopez also participated in that ad.
The video opens with Spanish text that says President Bush was re-elected in 2004 by roughly 3.5 million votes, and that 8 million Hispanics who were eligible to vote did not.
''Your vote makes all the difference,'' the video says before Sanz appears playing guitar.
