Carson definitely isn’t one of the brothers
He will get, justifiably, very little black vote’s imo.
His conservative philosophy is detrimental to the economic reality of black people on the whole.
In fact his conservative philosophy is detrimental to white middle class and poor as well

Simply having an AA or any other non white ethnic person running for POTUS Is not a guarantee of support from those communities, Ted Cruz have as much support among Hispanics as Ben Carson have among AAs, Marco Rubio if he stopped acting the fool could bolster his support among them but it's unlikely given the overall direction of his party.

Translation: you have to be a Democrat and give away Obamaphones and convince people you are going to pay their mortgage to make them vote for you www.youtube.com...
and oh wait didn't he promise to make the cost of electric skyrocket.... and ppl voted for him anyway, why did that woman think her gas was going to be either paid for or less expensive...as now we know that the cost of gas actually went up during his term you know with all that moratorium on offshore drilling and what not....

Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?
A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.
FULL QUESTION
I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his "Obama phone."
FULL ANSWER
Welfare recipients, and others, can receive a free cell phone, but the program is not funded by the government or taxpayer money, as the e-mail alleges. And it’s hardly new.

The discounted, sometimes free, wireless services that started to become available to low income households in 2005, under George W. Bush’s administration, is an expanded and updated version of the Lifeline telephone service program that launched in 1985, under Ronald Reagan’s administration.

First FactCheck is part of the Annenberg Project of Bill Ayers fame........
Second, did the reality fit with the perception people had of what he was going to do? As I recall even Cash for Clunkers didn't take older cars as my sister found out.

What makes them assume it's aimed at 'African Americans?' The music is what most of the planet listen to if they're under 40 or so. Putting vocal samples over some beats has been pretty much a common thing since the late 1980s.
It isn't an 'African American' thing any more. Rainforest albums by S American pan-pipe bands have done the same thing. Middle-class white bands like Enigma were doing it in the 1990s. It might be rooted in US black culture of the 1970s, but it's completely universal these days. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's clichéd and overused. Throw down some beats and play 'wise words' over the top to make them sound like something awesome...so predictable.
Whatever the case, the commercial will be aimed at the under 40s in general - it's just pop music.

I just can't help but feel that if a white candidate did something to pander to white people so specifically and obviously -- the media would have a field day with it.
Republican OR Democrat. Either party, any candidate.
It's not that there's a rap song that's the problem -- it's that he specifically endorsed it. It would be a totally different matter if some rap artist took it upon himself and made one without Carson's blessing and it became viral and helped Carson.

Ok so facts are liberally biased .. look Im not gonna sit here and tell you missteps and straight muckups never occurred and I have my own reasons for disliking some of Obama's policies but I don't have to go about making stuff about them or him, I remember in the same vein many laugh out loud when he suggested keeping your tires full will cut waste and carbon emission as a commonsense remainder >
and we get this grownup response.

I was in and out of it during most of the fife, and Ben Carson's souless personality, but didn't he say something about wanting blacks to vote for him?

The point with Factcheck which I thought was subtle enough but now I see I must be more blunt about is that Factcheck being a project of Annenberg which Bill Ayers the former terrorist Weatherman Underground now Marxist college professor is tainted by liberal bias
Is that clear enough?
