Stung by summertime allegations that they neglected their bedrock African-American constituency, the White House and President Barack Obama’s reelection team have cranked up their outreach to black voters, selling the president’s first-term achievements as accomplishments that will pay long-term dividends for the black community.Top administration aides and Cabinet officials have fanned out to black communities, touting those accomplishments — including health care reform, unemployment insurance extensions, public-education overhauls and programs encouraging minority entrepreneurship — and last month, they hosted a summit on African-American issues.
Remember how some were ridiculed for saying that these initiatives were just meant to be payback to his ‘constituents’?
As part of making its case, the White House prepared a 44-page report summarizing the president’s agenda for black America [see below] and has launched an electronic newsletter aimed at black lawmakers and staff in Congress, along with a companion link on the White House Web page…
Apparently, there really are two Americas. And Obama has to talk to Black America through different channels.
But isn’t this the same man who said he was going to bring us together?
And on Monday, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will host a panel discussion on ways to find jobs and training for parolees and felons after they are released from prison…
Which tells you how the White House thinks of black Americans. They are parolees and felons.
Meanwhile, the Obama 2012 reelection campaign in Chicago has begun an aggressive grass-roots effort to re-energize black voters, hoping to at least partially recapture the historic groundswell of 2008.The message, conveyed by campaign workers and volunteers dispatched to beauty and barber shops, church halls and neighborhoods is simple: The president has improved the lives of everyday African-Americans, and that change has to be protected at the polls next year.
More racial stereotyping. And, of course, more blatant mendacity.
Obama made that point at last month’s day-long summit at the White House, telling participants that his legislative “done” list has kept “millions of folks out of poverty,” improved the lives of millions more and made significant investments in the future of black communities…
In reality, Obama has trapped many more Americans of all race in poverty, in the underclass. Which is his goal and the goal of the Democrat Party, which needs people to be dependent on the government as the source of all the good things in their lives.
For the record, this is how the aforementioned "44-page report summarizing the president’s agenda for black America" (a pdf file) begins:
The President’s Commitment to African American Families
Since day one, the President has sought to restore the strength of middle class, increase shared prosperity, and bring back the American Dream, while also providing ladders for Americans willing to do their part. The policies outlined in this report have benefited all Americans, and have had direct impacts on the African American community.Whether by creating jobs, revitalizing schools, making college more affordable, increasing access to healthcare, enhancing civil rights or strengthening the bonds that keep families together, the Obama Administration continues to champion initiatives that support African Americans in today’s difficult economy…
When are blacks finally going to get tired of being lied to their faces like this?
