Bogus? Michelle Obama Unhinged: “White Racists†II
The African Press International has a major update on the alleged Michelle Obama audio tape (previous post here) which makes plausible their hesitation on releasing it if it does actually exist:
API is disturbed by the way many have reacted to the story on Mrs Obama’s call. Many have shown us by the way they have behaved towards API that they only think of their own interests because they have demanded that the audio recordings should be released immediately. We understand that the tapes should be released, but those who have demanded the release of the tapes seem not take into account that API may become a suing target.
API has recordings of the conversation between API and Mrs Obama …Â and we confirm that the audio will be released to the public. In the last 24 hours, API has been consulting legal advisers on the way forward in order to avoid being sued by the Obama camp. API has realised that the contents of the tapes if made public may change the political atmosphere in America for ever, especially in the next few days.
…
The delay to make public the recordings is expected to give time to Mrs Obama to come clean and tell the American people that her comments were not meant to harm anyone but that she was reacting to the media pressure on her husband. She should also come out and tell the American people that she will not discriminate those who are not Obama fanatics if she becomes the first lady.
This may explain why Obama was a bit off his game last night and pretty testy and flashing sneers at McCain’s attacks. I also noticed a very, very deflated James Carville trying to debate Bill Bennett on CNN. This may actually be the double whammy Obama can ill afford. With him reeling from his mistake with Joe The Plumber and ‘spreading the wealth’ a audio tape of this nature would sink Obama quickly.
As I said before, we should all be thinking innocent until proven otherwise.
The way I look at this is that the report ,if true, would be a perfectly timed and almost too good to be true, event that may be a red herring to put out for bait for the right to bite into.
It has so much potential for damage that one must be skeptical until good proof is offered.
Until then maximum caution is advised and also it is a good warning to double check any new thing that pops up in the next couple of weeks it it sounds ‘too good to be true’.
You have my personal info, AJ, because I have made a donation to your website before.
I will bet you $1,000 that this tape NEVER turns out to be legit.
Breschau,
Right now I am not betting 10 cents this thing exists.
I read the original report and it sounds like a frustrated wife defending her husband and losing composure.
Not a big deal in my book. Sadly I am so far off the bell curve it is lonely out here. I will give it a fair shake, but that means little. If it exists it will hurt Obama.

how is the original Larry Johnson ‘whitey’ tape working out for you guys? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, and I must be ‘ajstrata’.
