Obama Targets Black Voters: "Stand With ME and VOTE"
President Obama targets black voters in a radio ad with jazzy background noise that is appearing on air during the radio talk shows of Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, Michael Baisden, Yolanda Adams, Russ Parr, Bev Smith, Doug Banks, Coco Brother, Al Sharpton and Warren Ballentine.
"On November Second, I need you to stand with ME…and VOTE," Obama said in ad titled "Vote" that began running on Tuesday. The emphasis on "ME" and "VOTE" was added by the DNC.
Full transcript below, emphasis by the DNC:
"This is Barack Obama.
Two years ago, you voted in record numbers, and we won a victory few dreamed possible.
I know so many across the country are hurting…and think change isn't happening fast enough.
That's why we've fought so HARD to repair the economic mess we were handed…to begin putting people back to work.
Reducing health care costs and STOPPING insurance company discrimination.
Reforming education so it works for EVERY child…investing in programs to keep them off the streets. But now, that's ALL at stake.
The same Republicans who've fought AGAINST change are pushing the same plan that crashed our economy - tax cuts for millionaires; deep cuts to education; repealing health care reform. We can't afford to go back.
On November Second, I need you to stand with ME…and VOTE.
