Patriots, we are still on the road on the Rebuild America Defeat Obama bus tour. It has been over a month and Mary really misses Sammy, our greyhound and Marilyn her cat. I miss Sammy, but not the cat.
Anyway, I was interviewed on the morning drive talk radio show, Inside Detroit with Mildred Gaddis. The liberal black host and her callers were pretty PO-ed at me for being a black man chairing the Campaign To Defeat Barack Obama.
They began the interview by airing our Barack Obama's Legacy of Failure ad. The host attacked me claiming that fact checkers confirm that our ad is full of lies. Of course, I defended our ad as being dead on target and that her so-called “fact-checkers” were Obama sycophant hacks. Well, things went down hill from there. Enraged callers chimed in with “Mr Marcus, I am sooooo angry at you!”
To their credit, we battled for three segments on the radio without the host or her furious callers calling me a “stupid n-----”, which normally happens when I challenge the left’s rhetoric. Still, the interview was quite heated and compelling. The producer wanted to keep me for a fourth segment but, I had to get ready for “bus call” to our first rally of the day in Kalamazoo, MI.
While sparing with the black host and her black callers, I received a revelation; truth and facts did not matter. They were so consumed in their racial bias that Obama’s black-skin trumps everything. I was blown away that they could not see the immorality of voting for Obama solely because he was black. The host called loyalty to Obama a matter of black pride. I got it. These racist people can not be changed. They simply must be defeated.
The host asked where the money came from for our TV ads. Talking about tossing me a softball, I proudly informed Mildred that our funding comes from “the people”, not the Republican party.
Originally, we planned to tour the country. But, polling convinced us that our efforts to get Romney/Ryan elected would best be served touring Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa.
New polling data reaffirms the importance of these states including a new poll commissioned by the FOX TV affiliate in Detroit, Michigan which shows Mitt Romney has surged to a tie with Barack Obama in Michigan - it was only in September that Obama had led by 14 points:
I am proud to say that the efforts of our "Rebuild America - Defeat Obama" tour team has contributed to the Romney/Ryan surge. We have made several swings through the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, airing TV ads, radio ads, publishing newspaper ads, and doing interviews with the press.
Here's one of the dozens of successful rallies we've held across Michigan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tew860atXpw
Part of the reason our efforts are having such a profound impact on Michigan is that Barack Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee have taken this state for granted - so much so that they haven't aired a single TV ad in the state during the 2012 general election for president: http://www.nationaljournal.com/hotline/ad-spending-in-presidential-battleground-states-20120620
When the producer of Inside Detroit requested an interview, I knew their goal was to discredit me and portray me as a traitorous black paid-off by the Republicans.
Candidly, I prayed before the interview asking God for wisdom to deliver whatever he wanted me to give listeners. Despite the host and callers ganging up on me, I am confident that somebody in Mildred's mostly black radio audience thought, “That man is right. It is racist to vote for Obama solely because he is black like me.”
I have peace that I was where I was supposed to be doing what God wanted me to do.

You are a great man for enduring these unfair attacks. God bless You !!!
It is unfortunate the left cannot understand, what is coming if BHO is re-elected. Just ask any Ruusian immigrants that are older than 50.

On a lighter note, I enjoy all your writings, but did not know you were a good singer too! Thanks for the link.
On a serious note, Thanks for standing up for our American values dispite the very strong pressure to
join in Obama's message of racism. I'm proud of your strength to hold your American convictions so many of us share dispite the 10-1 odds you deal with. We are all one that love our country,....all Americans.
Lloyd, thank you for your continuing courage in delivering a message I have no standing to deliver. May God bless and protect you.
Comment by John Lauck on November 1, 2012 at 7:42pm Romney should appoint Mr. Marcus as his Race Relations Czar! lol I am seriously hoping that he gets rid of all the Czars and the Czarinas and get this back to a Representative Republic. The Unemployment Rate would "Necessarily Skyrocket" in the first months but then would there would be a rebound of unprecedented proportions due to having all that SUCK out of the picture! I would be ENORMOUSLY impressed if Romney led a call for a Constitutional Convention to Repeal the 17th amendment. That would be the Biggest, Bestest thing to happen to this Country since Reagan.
That the Blacks think he (BHO) or the Dems care about them is laughable, when you think back in history.
1.) It was Lincoln, a Republican, that Freed their forefathers. (Note: He has NO Link to them there!)
2.) The most aggressive Anti-Black, Pro-Segregationists were Democrats. (Sen. Bird of WV was a KKK Grand Cyclops)
3.) Gov. George Wallace, Dem, Fought Desegregation, almost to death.
4.) ERA passed by Republican Congress.
Comment by Shamil on November 1, 2012 at 6:42pm I pray that God continue to bless you Mr. Marcus.
Comment by Gary Given on November 1, 2012 at 6:02pm Dear Mr. Marcus,
Kudos to you for your patriotism and commitment to restoring America to its core values. I saw through Obama and his pack of liars early in the 2008 campaign. And, as he has tried to fundamentally transform our great natio into something else, I have become more and more outspoken, warning who ever would listen about the direction he seems hell bent on taking us. It is my sincere hope that like minded Americans everywhere defeat Obama so that he can be exposed for what he really is. It is also my sincere hope that he does not set a proud segment of our country back 200 years with his divisive policies and dirty politics. I long for a day when we can all walk, arm in arm as countrymen, proud of the dream that those before us gave to us.
Comment by Sumsanity on November 1, 2012 at 3:42pm How's that saying go? 'If you really want to test a man's character, give him power'. Well we gave Obama power and he showed us his character. On no occassion was this administration's character shown so vividly as when our people, under fire, pleaded for help to save their very lives and their pleas went unanswered, except by brave SEALS who had to disobey orders to go to the aid of their countrymen. Greater love has no man.
Remember Benghazi.
Comment by Rose W. on November 1, 2012 at 3:15pm Lloyd, may God bless you on your journey and thank you so much for what you are doing. You are a true patriot.
Comment by Kristin Fecteau on November 1, 2012 at 1:53pm wow! thanks for standing strong, speaking the truth, and bringing us the good report!
