President Obama is featured in a new ad for the Democratic National Committee, the first in a $1 million campaign to turn out young, minority and female voters in the midterm elections.
The radio ad titled "Obstruction" released Monday laments the opposition Obama has faced from congressional Republicans. It is aimed at black voters and will run on African-American radio stations nationwide.
"No Democratic President in U.S history has faced the level of obstruction from the Republicans that Barack Obama has. It’s critical that we continue to fight for change and vote on Nov. 4," the narrator says.
Obama then outlines his vision for an economy where "hard work pays off." The radio spot features excerpts from a speech, where the president touts higher wages, affordable health insurance and decent health benefits.
The overall campaign is aimed at voters who tend to drop off in the midterm elections, with the lack of a high-profile presidential candidate on the ticket.
Print, radio and online ads will target African-Americans, Hispanics, women, Asian-Americans and young voters.
At fundraisers throughout the year, Obama has warned that Democrats tend to get "clobbered" in the midterms, and consistently described the low turnout as a "congenital disease."
“This strategic national ad buy will engage key members of the coalition that elected President Obama twice and remind them what’s at stake in this midterm election,” DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said in a statement.
“It’s no secret that Democrats’ challenge is expanding the vote this November and before with early voting, so these ads are geared toward many constituencies that have typically dropped off in midterm elections,” she added.
Democrats face a tough midterm landscape, as Republicans attempt to net six Senate seats to flip control of the chamber.
The ad is not targeted to boost any specific candidates, as President Obama's approval rating in many competitive states remains near the lowest of his presidency.
Administration officials have said Obama plans to ramp up his public campaigning in October.
How stupid do DemocRATS think black people are?

Democrats consider blacks to be useful idiots. And that’s what they are if they continue to be owned by the democratic party.
Some folks still have jobs!
We need more change!
Why? What’s the historic voting trend of this demographic?
What “obstruction?”
Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner has paid for everything that Obama has wanted!
If the veil of deception should ever be lifted from just 10% of black peoples' eyes, the 'RAT Party would cease to exist.
Blacks will have their rude awakening when the system fails. And it will fail.
If I were the head of the GOP, I’d run an ad saying the reason Republicans have blocked all of his ideas is because this is the first President who has nothing to offer but a boatload of really bad ideas.
People who get their only infromation in 30 second sound bytes vote Democratic
THey don't need to think because the brightest minds have already thought for them
Especially MSNBC , CNN which are an oraface of the W.hate Hut (not a misspelling).
Very
If you ever want to get scared to death, listen to “black” radio stations. The hate. The paranoia.
As stupid as the government schools can make them.
Many blacks believe, “If it’s good for whitey, I am against it.”
They don’t seem to realize that sometimes when it’s good for whitey, it’s good for them too.
They are so amazingly full of hate for whitey that it’s unhealthy and doesn’t benefit them at all.
“Brothahs, sistahs! Massa Obama needs you now. Get off yo’ a** and vote - three, four, five times!”
“Brothahs, sistahs! Massa Obama needs you now. Get off yo’ a** and vote - three, four, five times!”
The democrats are the masters for so many. They so addicted to welfare they are owned. That’s the painful truth.
Explains why he wont release his Indonesian BC too!

Enough to vote to put Obama in the Oval Office. Twice.
Let's look at this a minute.
Sounds like Obama is miffed. As hard as he has tried the Republicans have not laid down and let him have his way with them. They have refused to be totally screwed.
So, we may not think Republicans are doing all they can to fight Obama, but obviously they are doing something right if Obama finds their "obstruction" on a level so high that it is higher than any other democratic president has ever received.
Now, it may be just a campaign ploy, but then again it might not be.
if blacks do not show up in big numbers, it is worse than the dems can imagine.
