BARACK OBAMA
Keeping Track of Rumors of the Infamous Michelle Obama Tape
Supposedly, in twenty-five minutes, Larry Johnson is going to have some news to break on the often-rumored, but never-yet-confirmed tape of Michelle Obama denouncing "whitey." Roger Stone said on Fox News this weekend that he believes the tape exists, and "a network" has it, for whatever that's worth. (Perhaps more interestingly, Stone says seven news organizations have contacted him asking if he has it.)
I've heard from a reader which cable news program allegedly has it, but I'm waiting for confirmation.
Again - could the rumor be wrong? Would Michelle Obama really speak from the pulpit of Trinity United? Did she make the remarks in a different venue?
And if a network had it... why would they sit on it? If a right-of-center source had it, are they afraid the superdelegates could shift en masse to Hillary? If so, wouldn't this be held under wraps at least until the Democratic convention?
UPDATE: Larry Johnson is either crazy, a pathological liar, or he's giving us our first glimpse of a tape that will be devastating to Obama: "I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wrights Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks."
ANOTHER UPDATE: I now doubt this tape exists, for reasons explained here.

So do I. I think we'll see OBL's head on a platter before we see this tape.
I heard Bob Beckel refer to the tape this morning on Fox. Something like he was sworn to secrecy.
STOP!!!! Michelle is saying “WHY’D HE......NOT “WHITEY”!! We are going to look soooo damn STUPID if we put this tape out!!! She is saying WHY’D HE!! Good freaking grief!!
I wonder what DU and Kos are saying?................
She is saying “WHY’D HE”.... NOT... “WHITEY”!!!
This sounds like some idiot rumor, possibly started as a “boy who cried wolf” scheme to undermine the credibility of anybody dumb enough to fall for it without seeing the evidence.
And you have heard it of course, so you know.
Bingo!
Hillary fingerprints EVERYWHERE.
The tape will surface in 24 Business Hours.
This all reminds me of the impeachment days where rumors would be floated that such and such a report was going to be devastating to the Clintons. Then when the report came out it never seemed to live up to the hype. Over-hype is a classic tactic to make something go away.
Too late for you, silly!
Won’t matter.
Messiahs get a pass.
If the Republicans supposedly have it, why now? Wait til the convention. If Hillary had it, now would be just about right. She probably gave it to them.............
This is what I think: I think she DID say those things, but no tape exists. The Obama’s would know if she said those things, but would they know for sure that no tape exists? This has been the strategy of Clinton’s team: Make Obama THINK you have a tape to prove what she said when you actually do not. If no tape exists, it’s a dead issue. 100 people could come forward to confrim the story, but without an actual tape, the Obama’s deny it.

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." ~~Michelle Obama, 2008
She sounds just like Mao's wife Jiang Qing, leader of the "Gang of Four."
She said "WHY'D HE"....not WHITEY!!!!
