Book: Pressure From Black Donors Compelled Obama's Re-election Team to Actually Hire a Black Employee

Remember this very white picture and the top ten I did with it?

Apparently that picture actually did bother some black liberals, who did notice that Team Obama was as white as a blizzard of rice.

And so they forced the Racial Healer to actually hire a black employee.

Now, a new book filled with inside information from the campaign reports that top Obama aides were also taking heat from key donors and supporters. In The Message: The Reselling of President Obama, author Richard Wolffe writes that influential black supporters were unhappy with the lack of black aides in top campaign roles. The supporters were so unhappy that they forced the campaign to search for African-Americans to fill senior roles in the effort. After months of searching, the campaign found exactly one.

A token effort.

"Inside the campaign to re-elect the country's first black president, there was an embarrassingly low number of African-Americans in the senior ranks," Wolffe writes.

Jim Messina, the campaign director, is, according to the usual rules of this game, a vicious racist.

Those are the rules established. The left must abide by the rules they established.
