I published a caveat-filled report yesterday on an alleged telephone call by Michelle Obama to news outlet African Press (API) during which API claims Obama made racially incendiary and divisive statements. Since then, domestic news outlets have published denials by the Obama campaign that the phone call took place pretty much unquestioned. But African Press International is not backing down from their story. Instead, they say they have tapes and are consulting with their legal advisors on how to release them.
Due to enormous reactions received, API now understands the impact of the statements made by Mrs Obama. The American people have reacted in a way we in API would never have expected.
Many have question why Mrs Obama would choose a little known online media group instead of the American media. API was chosen because of a Nairobi contact that did not like the way API was covering Barack Obama using information collected from American media outlets. The Nairobi contact prevailed upon Mrs Obama to talk to API.
The only thing API may have done wrong is not informing Mrs Obama that the conversation was being recorded. This is why it is taking time to release the recording while consulting a legal team because API wants to be legally safe from any Obama camp law suit.
It sounds like the Obama squads are trying a little Joe the Plumber action on API.
A number of Americans who are die-hard Obama followers have tried their best to intimidate API using all kinds of threatening methods when they call in and when they email us. They are implying that API is planning to destroy Obama’s chances to become the next US President. API does not have a direct interest in the US Presidential elections and we want Obama supporters to understand that. However, when someone who may become the next first lady makes such comments as in the story we have published, the public have the right to know. Intimidation directed to the publishers of the story is not the answer.
I’ll believe it when I hear the tapes, and I really – really hope I get to hear the tapes.
Hat Tip to Gateway Pundit, which is right on top of every detail that gets released about this situation.
