GOP super PAC calls Obama ‘metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln’ in ad plan | The Raw Story
Documents obtained by a pair of New York Times reporters detail a plan by a conservative super PAC to attack President Barack Obama as a metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln and to dredge up the controversy surrounding pastor Jeremiah Wright. The strategy plan, including storyboards for a $10 million TV ad campaign, was commissioned by billionaire businessman Joe Ricketts and overseen by Republican media strategist Fred Davis, according to the Times.
The plan, entitled The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama: The Ricketts Plan to End His Spending for Good, has been disavowed by the Romney campaign. In it, strategists urged the PAC, known as the Ending Spending Action Fund, to hire an extremely literate conservative African-American to act as a spokesperson who will decry the president as metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln who has misled the nation. The Times reported that conservative talk-show host Larry Elder has been approached by the documents authors, who were aides to John McCain in 2008.
