Ads classified: Obama's Radio Ads in SC
Further fallout from the debate: Barack Obama
is now running a radio ad in South Carolina directly aimed at the black community. It follows this debate exchange, as recounted by CNN:
During the debate, one YouTube questioner asked the Illinois Democrat how he would respond to African-Americans who say he is not black enough.
“When I’m catching a cab in Manhattan,” Obama replied, “I have… my credentials.” Laughter then broke out as the senator’s remarks trailed off and he segued into a broader stump answer.
“Race permeates society,” he added, “and I do believe in the core decency of the American people."
This is all obviously the beginning of Obama's push to claim the lion's share of the black vote. Expect a lot more of the same.
