New Wisconsin Ad Slams Over High Black Unemployment

From The Washington Examiner: "When President Obama arrives in Wisconsin on Saturday, he’ll be greeted by a cable ad buy aimed at black voters in Milwaukee. The spot, funded by the Black Republican PAC, intersperses statistics on the economic well-being of African Americans in the Obama era — 'unemployment, home foreclosures and food security' — with clips from Obama’s speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, in which he famously urged his audience to 'quit complaining.' The cable ad buy is for $100,000, according to the group, which will cover spots on BET, ESPN, MSNBC, The Oprah Winfrey Network and Oxygen."



Booker Rising response: Now, I'm glad that Obama is getting slammed for the ridiculously high black unemployment. However, who is running the "Black Republican PAC"? I vaguely recall such a group during the 2008 presidential election. I think it's fair to say that I'm highly knowledgeable about black center-right activities around the globe. If a bona fide black person was running this PAC (truly running it, not a mere figurehead), I'm pretty sure that I'd know about it.
