Official: Obama campaign tried to hurt black press

This b*stard only spent $1 million from an estimated $999 million dollar advertising budget with the black press. And this is coming from our supposedly 1st black president..:childplease:

Its clear this president has nothing but empty words and utter disdain for the black community. I'll be sure to keep the board informed on how inept this president is at addressing needs in the black community.

What's more, many listeners and readers of Redding News Review were shocked to learn just how white the White House has become under Obama. There was only one black, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett made available for a recent photo shoot for key officials in the president's campaign and administration.

Still, Obama has said that his cabinet is diverse.

"So if you think about my first four years, the person who probably had the most influence on my foreign policy was a woman. The people who were in charge of moving forward my most important domestic initiative, health care, were women. The person in charge of our homeland security was a woman. My two appointments to the Supreme Court were women, and 50 percent of my White House staff were women. So I think people should expect that that record will be built upon during the next four years."

The only person who is not white in the above quote is Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Sonia Maria Sotomayor.

NAACP chair Benjamin Todd Jealous last week said he hopes the president puts a black woman on the Supreme Court.

Rep. Charlie Rangel recently said there is “no excuse” for the lack of diversity in Obama's recent choices and called the selections “embarrassing as hell.”

The Congressional Black Caucus has even gone as far as suggesting some of its members as possible cabinet level candidates. In all, it is said that the CBC provided 61 names to the Obama administration and none of those people have been appointed to positions.

Obama officials could not be reached at press time.

Why are you always spreading misinformation? Obama's first term was the most diverse in history.

WASHINGTON — Three months after taking office, President Obama will convene his first Cabinet meeting on Monday — still one seat short of a complete Cabinet.
Eager to promote budget-cutting efforts by all federal agencies, Obama will hold the meeting a day before the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to vote on his last nominee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, as secretary of Health and Human Services.

OBAMA'S CABINET: Who's who
Outside experts say Obama's Cabinet is among the latest to be filled since Inauguration Day was moved up six weeks, to Jan. 20, in 1937. The delays were caused by ethics problems that forced his first nominees for the Commerce and Health and Human Services departments to withdraw, and the more extensive vetting process that followed.

If she is confirmed by the Senate, Sebelius will complete a Cabinet that experts say is the most diverse in history. It will have seven women and nine racial and ethnic minorities among its 21 members — and only eight white men. Average age: 54.

I was listening to Redding's radio show last night where he was talking about this. The spokesperson that Redding had on the phone from the administration was shifting blame from the White House to the DNC and Obama for America.
And the fact that the measure was taken after a critical article was written makes them look really petty.

This is one of the things I don't like about Obama. He'll do interviews with Fox News, other conservative media outlets, but he won't go on the Tavis Smiley show, not that I like Smiley, but it's aired on PBS. Obama is like the Nas of politics. He'll parlay with his enemies, and people who talk greasy about him, but won't holler at his fam who supported him when he was on the come up.

So they are not including money spent on urban station owned by large corporations, but who hire majority AA?

:shaq2:

Maybe buying ads in media that is targeted towards black community is not the most efficient way to spend campaign money where that target group already supports the president by 95%. Maybe the black community newspapers don't have the reach to make them a viable investment of marketing dollars.

There are a myriad of reasons why campaign dollars were not spent with the so-called black press. Sounds like they were looking for a 21 million dollar payday and are salty cause the campaign told them to go fukk themselves.

Thread starter, questioned Obama's blackness but then proceeds to complain about Obama not spending money with the Black press.

Black newspapers? Do ya'll read those? Link some...

And the Obama campaign's outreach to black folks was heavy in the door to door personal interaction and get out the vote efforts. But I can see why these newspapers are upset about not getting the hook up, I would be too...
