Obama\u2019s reelection campaign will release its first radio ad targeted specifically at the African-American community today, and the Daily Caller says this is an unusually aggressive early effort to rally blacks behind the president.

Go to GottaVote.org to register now.  That\u2019s GottaVote.org.

I mean this is a sign of big trouble, to have to go out and run an ad targeted at black voters?  I could ask, you know, the predictable question.  Can you imagine if a white candidate ran an ad like this aimed at white voters?  There would be hell to pay.  Racism charges would be going back and forth.  But has anybody ever been kicked off a Head Start program?  &#8220;We can\u2019t afford to spend the next four years going backwards.&#8221;  That\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing.  We\u2019re going backwards at full throttle.  That\u2019s the whole point here.  &#8220;I refuse to pay for another millionaire\u2019s tax cut by kicking children out of Head Start programs.&#8221;  Where is that happening?  Head Start\u2019s funding has increased year after year, no matter who\u2019s in the White House, no matter which party controls Congress.  Head Start never gets smaller.  It never pays for a millionaire\u2019s tax cut.  This is absurd.  But I know they think that their audience is susceptible to being persuaded by this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I refuse asking students to pay more for college.&#8221; They are, Mr. President.  Your buddies in higher education are financially raping these students, and your student loan program is putting them in debt to you for the rest of their lives, while you sit there and refuse to allow it?  You run an ad aimed at the black community saying you refuse to allow tuition to go up, the rich guys are getting a tax cut so tuition goes up.  This is nonsensical.  I know that the target audience here, they might fall for it \u2019cause it\u2019s emotion-based.  Health insurance for millions of poor and elderly?  This is absurd.  Everybody gets health treatment in this country.  It\u2019s called the emergency room.  Anyway, when they\u2019re running ads in June to a group that traditionally votes 93% for the Democrat, then, folks, you have to say that they are in heap big trouble.  A little Elizabeth Warren lingo out there.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Roland Martin this morning on CNN, Starting Point.  Is he still at CNN on did he get suspended?  He\u2019s there?  Okay.  Because it says here he was the guest of Washington Watch &#8212; oh, maybe.  Maybe if you host a show at CNN you can guest on another CNN show rather than appear.  How does that work?  You have your show at CNN, and some other show wants you so you do a guest shot on a network where you already have your own show.  Anyway, Roland Martin had this to say.  They were talking about the new report that median net worth fell 40% during the recession.  That story was in the New York Times yesterday.  This is net worth fell 40% in the recession.  Here\u2019s Roland Martin.<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN:  Let me talk about African-Americans, 53% of black wealth has been wiped out, and that\u2019s gonna effect the next two generations because typically you start your business with a home loan. You can\u2019t do it \u2019cause you don\u2019t have a home now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Fifty-three percent of black wealth has been wiped out.  Now, he doesn\u2019t say it\u2019s the Obama economy, but it is.  And this is why.  This is why the regime has to worry about shoring up even black voters.  That, and gay marriage.  Gay marriage and black unemployment overall, black wealth destruction in this country, black president, first in history, they\u2019re in trouble.  Can you imagine what their polling data must look like to have to put together a spot like this?  So all these people, they\u2019ve lost their wealth, they don\u2019t have any jobs, and they\u2019re running ads, &#8220;We got your back, Mr. President&#8221;?  You know, the ad ought to be from Obama, &#8220;I got your back,&#8221; or at least, &#8220;I\u2019m gonna have your back if you reelect me.  I know I haven\u2019t had your back up \u2019til now.  I\u2019ve only made you think so.&#8221;  But we got an ad from all the people who have been destroyed economically.  &#8220;Don\u2019t worry, Mr. President, we got your back.&#8221;  It\u2019s all about Obama.  It\u2019s all about Obama.<\/p>\n<p>This was C-SPAN, Q&amp;A, Brian Lamb, was on June 10th, couple days ago.  Interviewed the Congressional Black Caucus legislative political director Angela Rye.  And Brian Lamb said, &#8220;From your own standpoint, do you see the president of the United States as an African-American?  What impact does that have?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.c-span.org\/Events\/QampA-with-Angela-Rye\/10737431301\/\"><img id=\"eZObject_63387\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Angela-Rye_large.jpg\"\/><\/a>RYE:  This is probably the toughest presidential term in my lifetime.  A lot of what the president has experienced is because he\u2019s black.  You know, whether it\u2019s questioning his intellect or whether or not he\u2019s too Ivy League.  There\u2019s an ad talking about the president is too cool, is he too cool.  And there\u2019s this music that reminds me of, you know, some of the blaxploitation films from the seventies playing in the background. Him with his sunglasses, and to me it was just very racially charged.  They were asking if Bush was too cool, but yet people said that that\u2019s the number one person they\u2019d love to have a beer with.  So if that\u2019s not cool, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s talking about.  But she\u2019s offended.  And she\u2019s terribly upset.  Calling Obama cool is racist.  Calling Obama cool is racist.  By the way, that story on the decline in personal wealth.  Let me tell you something buried in that story.  Declines in average income were greatest in the wealthiest 10% families and for higher education or wealth groups, according to the survey.  Now, that story is out there 40% wealth net worth was destroyed during the recession, but declines in average income were greatest in the wealthiest 10%.  Now, it\u2019s in there, it\u2019s in the story, but it\u2019s buried.  They want you to conclude something else.  They want you to conclude that the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer because the rich are stealing from the poor, and yet they had to include it because the polling data is what it is.  Ten percent, the wealthiest ten percent of families saw the largest decline in average income during the recession.  One more Angela Rye sound bite with Brian Lamb from June the 10th.  She is, again, the Congressional Black Caucus legislative political director.  Brian Lamb said, &#8220;What happens if the jury would find George Zimmerman guilt or not guilty?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RYE:  I think a not guilty verdict is extremely problematic in 2012.  I know folks have talked about race riots and all &#8212; I don\u2019t know that.  I think that we live in a day and age where people are educated enough not to do that.  I know that his mother and his father have asked for peace, peaceful solutions, not repay evil with evil.  So I\u2019m just not sure.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  She\u2019s still floating the idea, though.  She\u2019s floating the idea of possible race riots.  She says she hopes there aren\u2019t any, but she\u2019s still floating the idea.  Obama\u2019s bad week continues its deterioration into this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Listen to this.
