ATLANTA, Jan. 30, 2013, Midnight - The Obama campaign got mad and dropped advertising in black newspapers due to letter about its lack of spending in black newspapers, the National Newspaper Publishers Association Chairman Cloves Campbell said.

The Obama campaign had been asked to spend as much as $20 million with black newspapers, Campbell told this reporter's Redding News Review radio program. The administration only ended up spending about $1 million of its $999 million in advertising budget with black newspapers - compared to President Clinton's estimated $3 million when he was running.

Campbell said when he wrote a letter called "Show me the money" the Obama campaign pulling all the money from black newspapers that were not in swing states.

"They told me that I should apologize for writing the article," he told Redding News Review.

The allegations come as the country is experiencing an extremely high unemployment rate in the black community and as the administration has been fending off reports of his cabinet being nearly all white and male. Obama is still far behind other administrations in cabinet diversity - Obama 4; Clinton 9 (in 8 years); Bush 6 (in 8 years).

On Friday, President Obama gave two blacks bigger titles within his administration, following criticism from the press about appointing blacks to key positions.

The announcement came as Obama just made permanent B. Todd Jones, who is black, as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The appointment is a non-cabinet level job.
