UPDATE: Mrs Obama's phone call: Obama camp offered $3M bribe

October 29, 2008

The continuing fantastical saga of the African Press International's claim that Mrs Obama made a call to them discussing barry's birth in Hawaii and later adoption by his stepfather. Now they have released the tape to FOX News (of course) and the Obama "campaign manager" offered a $3M bribe. No name of course. I guess the proof will be whether FOX actually has something to air. One more thing Plouffe might have been stressed about - even if it is complete fabrication. Original post. Vieter denial

Chief Editor Korir of the API:

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.

API's Canadian lawyer is expected to fly to Oslo shortly in order to assist in the legal matters that arise from the bribery attempt.

API's Chief editor is expected to travel to New York, together with the Canadian lawyer, where he will appear live in one of the shows that will air the Michelle Obama tape.

I can't even comment on this. You decide what's going on. I'm more interested in what Berg has done as far as the lawsuit to unseal Obama's birth certificate. I still wonder about the timing of the trip to Hawaii and how certain he was when he was coming back.
