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."
API's account said it was "only relaying what the American bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations." This, according to the story, angered her.

This woman sat in wright’s church for 20 years, so she knows all about racism.
What a bitch.
I am not confident yet that these quotes are real, but there are plenty similar comments from both her and Barry to state this. Are we seriously going to have these people running our country? They put Europeans first, Middle-easterners first and Africans first. To them, Americans are the problem, and bigger government and weaker foreign policy is the solution.
Now, I know that “whitey” video is out there somewhere...
I am waiting for a denial from the campaign . . . . waiting . . . . The longer it takes, the better the chances that it is real, and they don’t know whether there is a recording of the call.
“”Mrs. Obama had hoped the African media “was mature enough to be in the front “”
What in Africa is MATURE or civilized? Creepy!!!
No racism with Michelle Obama... /sarcasm
PLEASE let this be true.
Someone pointed out that Oginga’s (and Obama’s) tribe is not liked by many in Kenya. I hope she didn’t know what side of “African tribal ties” she was calling.
Yea, Africans can easily identify a communist. Africa is full of communists. It has been since the all out push against Rhodesia when the Rhodesians actually had the ordinary common sense to pick up rifles and shoot the communists dead as a hammer. On sight.
There’ll be hell to pay at the Obama HQ when they find out who let her use a phone.
She never smiles. this is a telling and troubling aspect of her character. Part of Obama’s judgement in his circle of friends seems to include a lot of bad karma.
The White House is not an appropriate place for trickle down rage for alleged social injustices. Michelle Obama displays a lot of bad karma.
Apparently API is mature enough to be unbiased in their reporting of Michelle Obama’s stupidity.
If she thinks of Corsi as “evil”, she is mentally unstable.
Nice prospect for the White House, eh?
Obama’s babys mother doesn’t like opposing points of view.
Must run in the family.
So, does she run the Barack Hussein Obama SA or does he wear the pants?
So, what IS that “view”?
Kill whitey and take his sh!t?
It’s not very close to Christmas yet, but I am going to proclaim “Ho, Ho, Ho!”
Evil = ANY criticism of the Obamas.
Welcome to the New World Order.
“But Michelle could also frustrate her supervisors. Quincy White, the partner who helped recruit Michelle and who headed the marketing group, remembers finding her a challenge to manage. White, who is now retired from the firm, says he gave her the most interesting work he could find, in part because he wanted to see her advance, but also because she seemed perennially dissatisfied.
She was, White recalls, “quite possibly the most ambitious associate that I’ve ever seen.” She wanted significant responsibility right away and was not afraid to object if she wasn’t getting what she felt she deserved, he says.
At big firms, much of the work that falls to young associates involves detail and tedium. There were all sorts of arcane but important rules about what could and could not be said or done in product advertisements, and in the marketing group, all the associates, not just the new ones, reviewed scripts for TV commercials to make sure they conformed. As far as associate work goes, it could have been worse — “Advertising is a little sexier than spending a full year reading depositions in an antitrust law suit or reviewing documents for a big merger,” says White — but it was monotonous and relatively low-level.
Too monotonous for Michelle, who, White says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory. He says he gave her the Coors beer ads, which he considered one of the more glamorous assignments they had. Even then, he says, “she at one point went over my head and complained [to human resources] that I wasn’t giving her enough interesting stuff, and the person came down to my office and said, ‘Basically she’s complaining that she’s being treated like she’s a second-year associate,’ and we agreed that she was a second-year associate. I had eight or nine other associates, and I couldn’t start treating one of them a lot better.”
White says he talked to Michelle about her expectations, but the problem could not be resolved because the work was what it was. He is not sure any work he had would have satisfied her. “I couldn’t give her something that would meet her sense of ambition to change the world.”
“Not many people went over my head,” says White. It was an unusual move for a young associate to make, and he believes it was consistent with her personality. She “wanted something that pushed her harder {lcub}hellip{rcub} Waiting five to seven years to make partner was a good career move for me but not for [her]. There are too many other opportunities out there {lcub}hellip{rcub} that mature faster than that.”
Abner Mikva, a former congressman and federal judge who is close to the Obamas and was an early mentor to Barack, finds that account of Michelle’s 20-something impatience amusing. “It doesn’t surprise me at all,” he says.”
