But the real reason for Obamas extraordinary freakout is that he fears the release of the videotape, reported here, of Michelle Obama in the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wrights church railing against whitey. And we dont mean Whitey Ford. Four Republican sources have told me that the tape exists. Ive also been informed that Karl Rove and his allies have a copy of it and are using it to raise funds for independent expenditure groups. The tape, Im told, will be disclosed as the GOP October Surprise. Its a ticking time bomb.
And Ive learned that a right-wing Republican billionaire has put a $1 million bounty on the video. He doesnt want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now.
Obama, speaking on ABCs Good Morning America showed fear through his name-calling: If they think that theyre gonna try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because, that I find unacceptable. The notion that you start attacking my wife or my family you know, Michelle is the most honest, the best person I know. She is one of the most caring people I know. She loves this country. And for them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class.
Does Obama have a copy of the whitey video? We know that he knows that his wife knows. The video really does exist. If we have to wait until October to see it, Obama might explode before then from the tension.
On May 14, 2008, after Obama appeared to lock up the Democratic nomination, Johnson wrote “Hillary needs to stay in the campaign till the end because by the time August rolls around the damage to Barack will be so significant that rational folks will realize he is unelectable notwithstanding the mess Republicans have made of things. My advice? Patience. Let Barack have his codpiece, ‘Mission Accomplished’ moment. Like George Bush, he will rue his strutting and preening and declaring premature victory. Reality will intrude.”[41]

Hoping for a release date to coincide with the Denver convention. I want to see burning police cars, thick clouds of tear gas and crowd control using firehoses. Heck, retro is all the rage with liberal demonstrators, we might as well do it right.
