There is no tape. Larry Johnson has missed his self-imposed deadline.

My guess is that a swarm of lawters came knocking on his door and wanted to make really, really sure if Johnson wanted to put that bs out there.

Wow, the anticipation and suspense are killing me!
I hope the payoff’s worth the buildup.

Although- if viewed from the perspective below- it is even worse than originally thought...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2024782/posts

RUMORED transcript:

Michelle Obama, “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”

"...the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. lifetime achievement award..."

ROFL!! This was likely before the recent flap about the Rev. Other then Louis Farakhan, who would want to receive such an award any more?

From another thread: Rumored Transcript of Michelle Obama “whitey” Video(very juicy), there's this supposed quote: “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”

Assuming this quote is true (a definite assumption at this point), The clear meaning is criticism of the "white man", and the only use of "Whitey" is in proper context. Indeed, so is the use of "Why'd he". They reflect the implication in the article above.

But, if the above sentence is for real, then the racist tone against "Whitey" remains.

At this point, it's wise to remember we're dealing with major assumptions, and a tape which few (if any?) have heard.

“Why’d he do nothing about Jena?”

He married her off for crying out loud!

"Why'd he do nothing about Jena?"

Because it was a local matter. Duh!

I don't like McCain, but to keep a nut like Obama and his wife out of the White House I will gladly vote for him.

I wonder how much Obama is willing to pay for the tape? If he acquires the only copy, then even mentioning the it will seem like a wild conspiracy theory, the domain of the far left.

I think you're right. Evidently you can take the gal out of the 'hood, but you can't take the 'hood out of the gal.

The Democratic Party, home to 100,000 court appointed defense lawyers.

If OJ can skate, Michelle can hate.
