Michelle Obama calls Corsi 'evil'
She tells foreign news agency 'to support Africans and African-American view'
WASHINGTON Michelle Obama placed a surprise call to an African news agency to protest its coverage of WND investigative stories about her husband characterizing the source of the material as "racist" and Jerome Corsi as "evil."
The call was placed to African Press International, according to a report in the publication today. It said Michelle Obama accused API of "colluding with American Internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband."
The report said Mrs. Obama had hoped the African media "was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with."

"African Press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view," she reportedly said. "It is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband.

The Obama campaign immediately denied the telephone call happened.

However, in an e-mail to WND, a man who identified himself as API's "Chief Editor Korikr" confirmed the exchange.
"API hereby confirms to you that the story is true and if the huge interest on this particular story continues, we will post the recording on our website in the next immediate days.

FI also said the first lady in waiting had some clear instructions for the publication.
"Mrs. Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the inauguration ceremony when, as she put it, her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year," the report said.

Too bad there is no recording of Michelle Obama.
CommieCutter,And Athena51 are double teaming here.
Commie Cutter is shrilly trying to defame Corsi, here and on all the threads he can find.
The fact is that we would likely have a President Kerry without Corsi's former work. Corsi may be eccentric, but he has a lot of data and we will see it next week. I think he has done quite well for a man who has not been able to walk since returning from Kenya ( serious back injury flair up.)
API's site has a 4 out of 10 on the yahoo website rating bar.Its a serious and credible agency/website.
These pro Obama "Freepers" are scared to death that another Corsi Coupe is in the making, and are afraid this story is going to break into the MSM.
Well Pissant on them!
I’m ignoring them; they can’t possibly believe they’ll change anyones mind. Some people enjoy being a pita, either because their mother didn’t give them enough attention when they were little, or, another possibility is they have an inferior complex because of ah... shall we say, tiny equipment, and this is their way of trying to compensate.
You ARE a kick!
: )
This quote is clearly of the "spread the wealth" theme that is now rampant in the Obama campaign.
Her response is the main reason why I think there might be something to this.
My take, she will do whatever it takes to shutdown Obama’s ‘deeds’ in Kenya. One has to wonder if all this was on the up and up, Obama and his campaign would have flouted it as part of his foreign policy experience when everyone was saying he didn’t have any.
Michelle is absolutely desperate to shut it up or down. lol
Why wasn’t Obama’s trip to Kenya and support of Odinga ever brought up as part of his foreign policy ‘experience’? If it was, I never heard about it.
Now Michelle wants to cover it up...why am not surprised?
I’m trying to get some replies in but seems I am having a hard time. This forum is very very different from what I am used to. One thing it’s harder (more work) to post articles and the other is replies don’t always take. I’ll keep trying.
So MY take is, Michelle wants this BAD and she is willing to shut up or down anyone who might take it away.
If everything is on the up and up then why not actually BOAST of his ‘peaceful’ work in Kenya from the beginning?
Wow! The interest will continue. Post it now! Or, .......is this a way of asking for baksheesh? Like a million greenbacks or so..... plus 10 G's for brother George?
Well, there they are ALL of my replies. lol
I’m getting it now, seems it takes a little while for the replies to get posted. okaaaay...I won’t ask.
**wants to silence API**
Sorry, Michelle boo-hoo, that’s not how free speech works in the United States.
I think I own every one of Corsi’s books. I would appreciate Corsi holding a book signing so I can get his signature.
Hopefully the campaign loses that key.
SBVT Bump!
