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

Dubya did just that with regards to tax cuts, and the Dems had a fit, accusing him of “attacking” JFK when he was not present to “defend” himself.
I hate it when that happens.
On the other hand, just think of all the horrible ways direct quotes from President Trump could be used against him if the court allows.
Oh, well, if Obama says do it, it must be done.
Oh come on, you know he would just lie. Communists don't care about the truth.
I Obamdius proclaim as the hereditary ruler of the Democrat Party, under Saint Soros, that all I see is racist propaganda! In the name of St Soros - Amen
So it could be called “Bowling for zer0” ?
0bozo demands? Like he’s a dictator of some Commie nation?
Is the “Committee to Defend the President” really made up of Trump supporters, or is it made up of supporters of Biden’s Democratic opponents using the name as cover?
I agree. What’s amazing is how many of those book deals trace back to a publishing company in Stuttgart, Germany.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Article Headline.
I’ve seen, known and dealt with some Narcissistic “people” in My 60 years on this Earth and the zer0 takes the cake made with memememe ingredients and frosted with the same memememe that makes one wonder WTF is with them.
And they seem to think all of the rest of Us are stupid.
Sorry, but you are not correct. Any communication of any kind is illegal...lawyer or no lawyer. This is election law. Attorney client privilege - roll my eyes....educate yourself on election law.
obama can do this? and how can obama do this? because he demands and his skin color is brown? They obey this guy and show absolutely NO respect the President of the United States?
Yeah, it makes me angry... the elite is showing ....and they are so far from top brass.
What’s sauce for the goose.......
In the future, please don’t bother commenting on my posts and I will do the same for you. I don’t appreciate smart aleck comments like “roll my eyes”.
Nobama is in no position to DEMAND anything. He is just an ordinary citizen (that’s doubtful) like you and I.
Must be just you, plays fine for me. Every time.
Petulant little brat, isn’t he?
Who does he think he is anyways?
They won't produce anything.
The probably demanded Trump quit playing the ad and got a pound sand letter from his lawyers.
