Michelle Obama Screams the Race Card
Roadwarrior:
Here is the latest of this saga that has been going on for over a week
The most important thing is that they claim she said "Obama was adopted by a foreigner". Which would mean he became an Indonesian citizen.
If they have the tape ...let's hear it and stop the stonewalling already !!

We would like to inform all our readers that update on Michelle Obama story will be released tomorrow.
We have understood the importance that the American people put into electing the right candidate for the Presidency.
It is important that the tapes be released and all can judge for themselves what Mrs Obama meant and why it has come at the near-end of electioneering. The fact that the mainstream American media has been reluctant to reveal what they know about Obama is very unfortunate.
The American mainstream media seems to be interested in excitement and we all know that the only excitement at present is for some to say they witnessed history of some kind - the election of a black man to govern the only powerful nation in the world.
All the readers should exercise patience. We in API promise that you will get to know the truth when the recordings are finally released.

From the TD Blog ....before API said they had a tape
If The API Story Is True…
By Judah Benjamin, Guest Author
Let me say right now that I do not believe the API Story. Unless and until any tape is confirmed and public I think it is a hoax and quite possibly an example of PsyOps or Black Propaganda (nothing Racist that is the correct term). If the story is true, API should back it up because whatever they intended their actions already have political consequences of a severe nature in the USA.
I had never heard of API until last night and had never read their blog and I cannot imagine Michelle Obama knows them from a hole in the ground or cares what they say. Clearly the journalists are exiles and refugees and in such communities stories like this one are pretty common currency and are usually nothing except hot air.
I am not worried by the English in which it is written because that is typical of Africa and if an African were to record/recall such a conversation that is how I should expect it to be phrased. I am not worried by the fact that the Domain on which it is published is owned by a gentleman in South Africa, I would expect an Afrikaaner to be favorable to anybody opposed to most African Governments.
I am somewhat disturbed to discover that they carried one of my articles but that may also be seen as a compliment. Sammy Kipterer Korir, the API Editor in Chief, is a Kenyan Exile whose relationship with the present and previous Kenyan Governments is more than bad. The Norwegians regard him with suspicion too. Then again there are a lot of expats one could say that about and I don’t wish to malign him in any way.
In fact, the only thing that would cause me to give any credence to the story at all is that Tommy Vietor of the Obama Campaign denounced the story within 12 hours. This implies either (a) Like the whole “middle name Mohammed” nonsense the story is an easily debunkable plant by the Campaign or (b) It is 100% true. I’m going for (a).
Unless and until any tape is confirmed and public I think it is a hoax and quite possibly an example of PsyOps or Black Propaganda (nothing Racist that is the correct term). If the story is true, API should back it up because whatever they intended their actions already have political consequences of a severe nature in the USA.
