Will MSM Investigate Alleged Angry Phone Call by Michelle Obama to African Press International?

So far this story about Michelle Obama's temper tantrum when she called African Press International (API) hasn't been reported by the mainstream media but it is a very hot topic in the Blogosphere. Your humble correspondent checked on the credentials of API and it has been in existence for a little over two years and has filed numerous stories in that period. Additionally, this story has been posted at World Net Daily. If the MSM wants to verify this story they can contact API directly to investigate its veracity. Perhaps they don't want to check out this story because Michelle Obama comes off with an extreme case of bad temper. This API article starts out with Michelle article making accusations of disloyalty against that organization in a phone call (emphasis mine):

Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.

When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”

Wow! Talk about a red hot temper! But will the MSM even ask Michelle Obama about this? This article is chock full of more shocking information:

This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.

The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.

When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.

When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.

On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.

Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.

Double WOW! As I stated, African Press International has been in existence for over two years and has filed over a thousand stories. So will the MSM investigate this? Meanwhile this story is gaining enormous steam in the Blogosphere.

I know nothing of “African Press International”, but I do know that Michelle 0bama is a smart woman that wouldn’t shoot her mouth off like this unless she was damn sure it wasn’t ever going to leak out.

I’d love for this story to be true, but my bullshit detector is blaring.

We need confirmation and background info on “API”.

It is still on their site this morning — I just checked and now comments have been added including from someone in MA who says if he doesn’t reveal his birth certificate, she is not voting for him.

I have a good friend in Oklahoma who is a very conservative black Republican who has said all along from the minute he heard her speak that she is capable of doing this. He said for the last six weeks, it was only a matter of time before she picked up the phone and got mad and blew his campaign out of the water.

Same person who called to tell my Obama’s speeches in Philly were filled with quotes from the radical blacks of the 60’s/70’s — Malcolm X, Stockely Carmichael, Eldridge Cleaver, and more. He said he very seldom quotes Martin Luther King even on the Anniversary during the Convention which he said speaks to the type of person he is because he is only 6.25% black but has been around radicals his whole life to give the speeches in Philly which he said were code words into the black community to riot if Obama doesn’t win because whitey would have bamboozled and hoodwinked the black community. I sat there stunned with the phone call.

Why hasn’t the MSM reported on any of this? I believe they are cut out of the same 60’s/70’s radical cloth and their wish is to have socialism in this Country and at the same time they ignore the fact that their pocketbook will be affected by this Marxist.

If you google “Africa Press International” you will find that other outlets in the region and in the EU have picked up their postings. I’m not sure that confirms they are as accurate as, say, the NYT. You decide.

The relative mildness of what Michelle Obama says — relative to “white” , I mean — makes me think this is authentic. The quotes have the ring of truth. Yes, M.O. sounds angry, but she is more coherent and not as brutal as someone deliberately fabricating a quote probably would make her out to be. I think this is real. Will we read about it anywhere beyond the blogs?

I meant to write, “relative to ‘whitey’” above.
