API still has a link to the Michelle Obama phone call story, and you can read their entire response at the website as well.

Where can I hear the recording?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

The tape has been brought out? So, where is it?

[weegee]

On Coast To Coast AM or Alex Jones webcast?

Once you agree to send $100,000 to one of the Princes of Nigeria, then all channels will be open and more information will follow.

And there is a rich prince in Nigeria who wants to send me $30 million if I give him my bank details.....

[Williams]

The story truly makes no sense, because IF the underlying facts were true it would be a deep secret, not something M Obama would pick up a phone and shout to some news agency.

IF it’s true I can only gather they are saying they won’t release it until after the election. They may have a recording but what is the reliability of a phone call patched from somewhere through Nairobi, to a foreign news agency? Could have been anyone calling them.

Our recordings will be released when we are satisfied it is not intended to be misused in any way or for any gains by an group.

I guess that will be November 5th then.

3. Our recordings will be released when we are satisfied it is not intended to be misused in any way or for any gains by an group.

Sadly, if they get an understanding of what's at stake here, they will never be able to release it with a condition like that.

However, I can always hope!!!

I’m convinced API is playing us.

I don’t want to hear one more word about this unless there is a public link to hear the alleged tape. What’s the point of repeating the same old BS?

The best I can say is to keep an eye out on their website. You can get to that from the thread link.

I do not have personal knowledge but was simply monitoring their earlier story which, by the way, had plenty of traffic here on FR a couple of days ago.

I made an effort to go back to the website and saw their follow up.

ROFL

[papasmurf]

I still want to believe it.

I still don’t believe it.

[tapatio]

I think this whole thing is being put out as a distraction by the Obama campaign.The Ayers and Acorn coverage has hurt him and this is bait to take the focus off that.

[casinva]

See post 13.

I am only following up on a story that had plenty of traffic here on FR a couple of days ago.

I have no personal knowledge. I took the initiative to follow up for the FR people like myself who read this earlier here and might want to know what is going on at this point.

[papasmurf]

The best I can say is to keep an eye out on their what they laughingly refer to as a website.

[subterfuge]

#s 2 and 3 contradict each other...

[mlocher]

API requests all readers to be patient. They will get all the facts very soon, now that we have realised the importance of the story to them.

I think API is enjoying being in the US spotlight and wants to keep it going as long as possible. I am getting very skeptical about this story.
