Former White House aide and Duke Blue Devils forward Reggie Love stars in a new Obama campaign video aimed at courting the president’s African-American supporters.
“Since 2006, I’ve spent a lot of time with our president,” says Love, who left the administration last year to attend business school. “I got to work in the West Wing, I traveled to 33 countries, I’ve done everything from tracking down newspapers, figuring out what he wants to eat, who he’s going to eat with, and played endless amounts of basketball games.”
“The president has always had our back,” he adds, encouraging viewers to join African-Americans for Obama, a group the campaign launched last month. “Say you’re with him. I’d appreciate it and I know he would too.”
Love’s appeal comes as part of Obama’s effort to mobilize a key constituency for what will be a demanding general election battle headed into November.
While the most recent ABC News-Washington Post poll found Obama’s approval rating among blacks stands at 91 percent, frustration in the community over lingering economic woes has dampened enthusiasm and raised questions about whether turnout will be as robust as it was four years ago.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Is there a picture of Reggie bringing the obama dog BO on a private jet to the obama family vacation in Maine?
My oh my, how moochelle must miss that man...
Hey, Reggie - just how has he had anyone’s back but his own?
Despicable, vile, and in OUR White House.
Who’s Reggie Love? No need to answer, as I really don’t care.
Is that Barry’s Indonesian nanny “Evie”?
Come give us some sugar ...
They must be really desperate if they think they have to worry about the black votes. Makes me laugh.
Yep, pandering to the black vote.
Maybe some liberal white people who are now up on the fence might not like that.
So, the million dollar question is, who will replace him? Have any effeminate, younger men recently started spending a lot of time at the WH, or is it somebody who has already been “on staff” for a while now?
Obama credits Reggie with making him a fan of Jay-Z, the rapper.
Jay-Z is famous for his ‘respect’ for African American women. From his song, “It’s Hot” (asterisks are mine):
I’m like U-Haul; every bitch movin’ I f***
You move slut, I gotta put two in your b*tt
I’m everything: the when’s, why’s, who’s, and what
N*** what?
