Reggie Love Asks African-American Voters To Support Obama In 2012

Reggie Love, Barack Obama's former personal aide, has released a video urging African-American voters to join him in supporting Obama's reelection efforts.

"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," Love says in the video. "From cutting taxes to passing health care to supporting minority-owned business, the president has always had our back."

Love, who spent six years working for the president, announced in November he was leaving his job at the end of 2011. He's since shared details of his time at the White House, including Obama's best style tip and what he says is Obama's most annoying habit -- leaving the air conditioning off during long summertime car rides.

Watch Reggie Love's video above.

My rant continued: DO YOUR DAMN HOMEWORK and find a candidate based on what they stand for and what their track record shows not what the media says. You have unlimited resources with the internet, USE THEM!! Stop bitching and

I am TRULY appalled by this. We, AS A COUNTRY, are supposed to be united, plain and simple. Race should be in the past and I would never had thought us having a Black President would have ever divided a country so much!!! It disgusts me and you should all be ashamed of yourself for bringing up white people should be allowed to campaign saying support this candidate because they have always supported you. YOU ARE NO BETTER AT THIS POINT! We should NEVER be electing a person based on color, ethnicity, religion or sex!!! We are to vote for a President who is going to have your and my country's future in their best interest, who is going to UNITE us as a country, who has ALL AMERICANs in their best interest, who believes in the liberties our founding fathers fought so hard so that we may have freedom of press (allowing so many to look ridiculous), religious freedom, right to bear arms, right to a fair trail, etc. Sure our system has MANY flaws and bitching about it won't do anything...voting for someone based on race makes you no better than those horrible people who discriminated and did not allow opportunity based on race or sex. You are going completely against what MLK Jr fought so hard for and died for:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - MLK, Jr

LOL! Obama is no friend of the African American Community. The military recruits heavily in poor areas where many hispanics, blacks, and other minorities live.

He then sends these poor kids to kill other poor people in the Middle East so that oil companies and defense contractors can make a ton of money.

When they come back, they are denied medical care.

This dude is a phony. This fake healthcare is gonna be the biggest money maker for the insurance companies while providing cheap healthcare to the ones in need. Sure, they'll be plenty of money for immunizations, check ups, and basic treatment, but when you get critically sick you'll have to wait in line.

Obama is no friend to the poor. He sends them to die in illegal wars to fight other poor people.

The only true liberal that I have encountered is Cindy Sheehan.. she is the only one that's been critical of both Obama and Bush.

I am asking all white people to vote for a Republican, wait, that makes me a racist, right.
Don't bother to reply, I don't read them anyway. I just give my opinion and go on.

Since he was asking "African-American" voters only, good luck trying to win with less than 17% of the votes. That is the % of blacks in this country. And I seriously doubt all 17% are eligible to vote.

it's your dollar bro!!! your dollar is devaluing because of inflationary prices. Not only has the price of gas gone up, but so has food, but where is the outcry against evil farmers??

You better learn about the dangers of inflation. Inflation hurts the poorest and the elderly the most.

Don't listen to Obama's propaganda. He knows too many Americans are lazy to do any research and just repeat what is said in the news.

Wait, he's asking African Americans to support Obama? I thought the GOP is doing that pretty well all on their own.

He's got my vote Reggie.

Love supporting OSAMA BIN LYING OBAMA is not NEWS . If he had asked African Americans to support someone with the ability to be HONEST and really LOVE AMERICA , would have been NEWS.

I love that you can't create a sentence. How are you going to convince me with poor grammar, and rhetoric? Your statements are just reinforcing why we should vote for Obama, because we don't want more children ending up like you.

Have you even bothered to verify the validity of your opinion by looking at his results as president, or are you just doing the GOP thing and just running your fingers/mouth?

Hmm... can't help but wonder if a White guy urging White people to vote for the White candidate because "he's always had our back" would be acceptable.

Wow! You must no have heard any Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Palin, etc campaign dissertations. Kinda had me wondering what the news cycle would be like if a Black guy said that...just saying.

Fill me in. I remember a lot of comments about Barack's name and religion, but not any about race.

If Obama has to rally his African-American base, he's in trouble.

If republicans can't agree on a candidate, they are through.

There is gonna be a brokered convention. The publicans are afraid to admit it, but I've heard many hints.
