News Flash!!: Obama’s campaign manager offers 3 million dollars to API in connection with Michelle Obama tape to be aired by Fox News Network

Posted by africanpress on October 29, 2008

Six hours after the release of information by API on the planned broadcast by Fox News Network of the Michelle Obama tape, in accordance with an agreement that has been reached between API and Fox News Network, API was contacted by Obama’s Campaign Manager.

Those who are close to the democratic presidential candidate must be desperate to win the elections no matter what, otherwise they would not have taken such bold step to contact API with an offer of a bribe in order to stop the airing of the tape.

Obama’s campaign manager contacted API by telephone and email offering 3 million US dollars followed with a request to API to cancel the deal with Fox News Network.

Ten days ago API received the first request to accept 2 million US dollars by Mr Ed Hale, President of Plains Radio, Texas - USA, in an effort to suppress the information from reaching the public before the coming US Presidential elections.

API has now taken a decision to contact the American Embassy in Oslo, Norway as soon as possible in order to report the matter and hand over the evidence for investigative purposes.

The Chief editor is expected to travel to New York where he will appear on an interview in one of the shows that will air the tape.

THIS IS A DISTRACTION FROM THE **VERY REAL** TAPE THE LA TIMES IS WITHHOLDING!!

Zatso?

The API tape plus the 0bama campaign bribe wouldn't sway a single voter?

(And BTW nobody offers $3,000,000 for a tape that isn't **VERY REAL***).

this story about the 3 million may also be a hoax

Yeah...

"API has now taken a decision to contact the American Embassy in Oslo, Norway as soon as possible in order to report the matter and hand over the evidence for investigative purposes."

...it might be.

At least Benson Whitney isn't a clinton appointee...

Right now, I’ll put the possibility this is ligit at about 40% (It could have reached the 50/50 toss up, but the API site looks like garbage and must be run by amateur web masters. (Not that I could do better.. I’m just saying is all. :) ) )

Which publication broke the Monica Lewinski story?

(and what does it look like???)

I agree: "TGMBC" is one of the best all-around entertaining films ever made.

We have a copy of it and its sequel, and, occasionally, my grandkids beg us to show them again. They call the first one, the "Ai-Yi-Yai-Yi-Yai!" movie... '-)

Sadly, I understand that the little Bushman (the real star, IMHO) passed on a few years ago... :-(

I can see why API is grouped with WND, J. Corsi, J.Cashill, and Andy Martin.

Everyone is looking for their 15 minutes and a bit of free advertising. They sure have guts if they are bluffing again.
Team Obama will lock this guy up and throw away the key for questioning “Dear Leader”.

I’m still not convinced this is real.
One could argue, very convincingly that this last blog is their way out of their claims.
Can’t sue anyone that lives in Norway.

There are many people (like me) who believe that she probably does feel that way. It’s very plausible that Michelle after hanging around with America haters more than likely feels that way.

But, did she say these things to API? Don’t know. I’m leaning on no.

She does communicate with these all about Africa Blogs.

Why do I think that their list is still kicking around past 60 days is not an accident.

This one, I have a hard time believe that it was actually the real deal. Probably if there was an email or call, it was a pretender.

But once again, the obama camp is so arrogant nothing would surprise me.

Fox never claimed to get this tape, so I think the story is just a story by the API.

Why is the API playing with make believe stories?

Why is the API playing with make believe stories?

My theory: the original story was fabricated, either by Korir or one of his stringers, and they were caught by surprise when the story, which normally would have been read by his couple of hundred Africans in Norway readership, went viral. At that point, he has to either 'fess up or dig in and hope for it to go away. He's done the latter. If he can stall until next Tuesday, he figures no one will care anymore, or he'll come up with some other story about why he's permanently sealing the tape or somesuch. I'll put money on this.

Also very plausible.

If you think about it, why would Mrs. Obama bother to talk to small fries like that for so long.

The suggested 45 minutes of tape itself seems illogical to me.
