The Obama camp is not saying anything publicly now, but have chosen to work behind the scenes in their efforts to influence the release of Michelle Obama tape. The impact the tape is expected to have on National Security when finally released will be huge.
Peaceful approach to have the tapes not to be released has now turned into direct threats directed against API. The threats being unleashed against API comes after API Chief Editors unwillingness to accept the offer of a bribe by Obama Camps Campaign Manager was turned down.
The next few hours will be very crucial for API. The news organization is now putting the facts surrounding the bribe attempt together and will take a decision today to request the police to file charges against the Campaign Manager.
API on the other hand does not want to surrender to the pressure being mounted, even though faced with danger for ignoring the warnings not to allow the release of the tape. API is being bombarded with death threats from people who say have been hired to silence API and those involved in the plan to have the tapes released.
The US embassy in Norway together with the Norwegian Security Service has been duly informed of the situation and has promised to give the matter the priority it deserves.
Due to the situation that has arisen, and security considerations, API reprentatives trip to New York today to participate in a planned live interview will be temporarily delayed for some hours while the Embassy looks into the matter.
Now that the situation has become so dangerous because some people are afraid to let the American people know the truth about Michelle Obamas stand exhibited by her in the tape, API will thread carefully and will classify details on what is going on, especially details on when the API representative will fly to New York, which flight and where he will be housed while in the US. This will be done to avoid exposing him to any danger while on US soil
API will not rest until the tape is aired so that the American people may judge for themselves whether the contents of the tape is of relevance to the elections taking place November the 4th.
Dear API editor,
What’s wrong? I keep sending those $5,000 wire transfers to cover your “expenses” in arranging for the movement of the $28 million in gold bullion left behind by your uncle, the late Minister of Mines. I understood from you that I would receive 25% of the value of the gold as a “facilitation fee” and I have done my part. However, I no longer seem to be getting any response from you about when I should pick up the gold.
I do hope that all of the promises you made are still valid because I have now wired you my entire life savings in order to facilitate this transaction for you and your family.
Sincerely,
Your Favorite Gullible American
p.s. Yes, I would also be available to help you publicize these audio recordings of Michelle Obama, but unfortunately my funds are limited because I have already sent you all available dollars for our other piece of business.
“This is a hoax.”
Ding...ding...ding...
We have a winner!!!!
No ban, please.
It has become quite entertaining. “What will API do next?” Of course it is more than likely a hoax, but some of us look forward to the next installment.
Times are tight, you don’t get this cheap entertainment in very many places :-)
ACtually, this has been kind of fun.
If we could limit it to the humor thread, I’d be okay with API continuing to send us this $h!t. It gives us a break from the serious stuff.
This is the political equivalent of a 419 scam.
Hah! Me too. I keep looking to see if they've gotten to the point that all they need is someone's check account and SSNs because this 'tape' is trapped in a pawn shop and they don't have the money to free it...
These guys are funny -- but I have to admire their persistence in beating the same dead horse.
ROFL ping!
there is a certain comic genius to these people — have to hand it them — they are creative!

What the.... is that a hyena??
What the.... is that a hyena??
The picture would be even better if the guy was Kevin Bacon!
The Obama campaign will have succeeded if it can create a bogus threat, expose it a bogus, and then claim it is representative of all legitimate threats.
Over the course of two trips to Nigeria Pieter managed to shoot some amazing photographs of the Hyena Men as they became comfortable with him and his lens. You can read the whole story behind Pieters work with the group of Hyena Men, heres a quick bit
"The spectacle caused by this group walking down busy market streets was overwhelming. I tried photographing this but failed, perhaps because I wasnt interested in their performances. I realised that what I found fascinating was the hybridisation of the urban and the wild, and the paradoxical relationship that the handlers have with their animals - sometimes doting and affectionate, sometimes brutal and cruel. I started looking for situations where these contrasting elements became apparent. I decided to concentrate on portraits. I would go for a walk with one of the performers, often just in the city streets, and, if opportunity presented itself, take a photograph. We travelled around from city to city, often chartering public mini-buses."
There must be racism somewhere in that comment.
NO AFRICAN anything is going to rat out an Obama.....this must be a FAKE STORY.
