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.

kesg,

I think post 12 has the original link which first described what is supposedly on the tape which was in the possession of API.

I think there was more that came out later about what was on the tape.... some nations Michelle Obama told the API editor that Barack Obama would invite to the White House, first on the list being Iran’s president I think I remember hearing.

personally I think it is a different signal....the LA tape is real and more damaging...Another tape is somewhere and ole Axelrod just said...here is 3 mil not to release it which really means if an LA tape could surface...3 mil is just advertising costs....30 mil would close the deal.

Dear Barack Obama,

I have an extra copy of the API tape which I will destroy for only one million dollars in cash.

Yours truly,

Mojave

it’s just “SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND”!

That got a real loud laugh out of me stockstrader!

Good one, and it’s good to remember Obama’s battle cry. Makes us cringe, when we see how it all works, yes?

“What the heck is supposed to be on this tape?”

Michelle Obama saying that Barack Obama was legally adopted by his Indonesian step-father (which negates an US citizenship he ever had if he ever did) and that she (& he?) are tired of the efforts of the hateful white racist American “right” to block her husband’s “ascension” to the Presidency.

No the whitey tape was different rumor that I think was started by Larry Johnson of No Quarter. The API tape is another rumor.

Ed Hale? Who is this guy?

I don’t think this is right. If he was born in Hawaii to an American mother, he’s a citizen and that’s the end of it.

The real news value of this tape seems to be what Michelle reportedly said on the phone (e.g. calling white conservatives “evil” and “racist,” stating that Obama was actually adopted by his stepfather, etc.). This sounds so much like her.

I smell something rat-like in aroma. But I can’t tell whether it’s a rat or what the heck it is. And I can’t tell from which ship they’re jumping out of either. Never-the-less, we still have 3 days for the “October Surprise” countdown.

Ah, thanks. I just checked your link in post 12. But like the other rumor back in June, it’s still not something to get excited about unless they actully produce the evidence.

Biochemky,

It also provides additional details Michelle Obama provided to the editor of the African American Press about some of the foreign affair plans Obama has planned.

The tape is reported to be 52 (perhaps it was 54) minutes in length, and FOX is reported to be planning to air around 35 minutes or so of the conversation.

I read in one of the earlier posts that the portions of the tape that will remain unaired are due to 1.) national security concerns and also 2.) concerns as to what some of the words might do to incite difficulties on election day.

There is no tape. API is full of sh^%$#t, and their 15 minutes are about to be over.

I have a feeling we'll see it in about 24 business hours. :)

And yes, if it turns out to be real then I'll happily eat those words.
