Obama Demands All South Carolina TV Stations Pull Ads Against Biden

Former President Obama's attorneys say they plan to file a cease-and-desist letter over a pro-Trump group's television ad in South Carolina that attacks former Vice President Joe Biden by using a portion of Obama's book
Obama is also demanding that all South Carolina television stations immediately stop running the ad from the Committee to Defend the President, which is aimed at supporting President Trump's reelection bid.
The ad uses excerpts from Obama's 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father," in an effort to get the attention of black voters in the state.
"Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie. Here's President Obama," the ad says at the beginning.
It then uses a passage from Obama describing how the black community had been wrongfully treated in the past.
"Plantation politics. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey," Obama says in the recording.
"This spot is a fraudulent use of President Obama's voice," Obama senior adviser Eric Schultz told CNN

Why don't you just STFU Obama? You're really whistling past your own graveyard here.

“Why, did Obama lie in the quote? Does he deny writing and reading these statements?”
He doesn’t care if it’s true or false. “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”

Didn’t Lieawatha Warren say basically the same thing at a Debate a couple of weeks ago?

Oh lawd now everyone will get to see and hear this ad.
And that was Obama's intention.
You get the feeling Biden did something to Obama that Barack found unforgivable...

#10. IF you threw a rock into a herd of Democrat pigs, you’d have to automatically hit either Hillary or Michele. You just couldn’t miss if you tried.

“Obama is not the President anymore.”
This statement sounds SO GREAT! Best news heard today.
Never get tired of hearing it repeated.
“Obama is not the President anymore.”
Thanks for a positive start this morning, Miserare.

Oh brother. By law, Trump can’t have any contact with this group, so no, I don’t think Trump is deep thinking this. Roll my eyes.
