The Obama saga and the Presidency

To Rosettasister:

We appreciate that you have send to us the information below to alert us on what is happening there in the US.

I would like to let you know that I have just send in a comment to the ABC News ‘s Jake Tapper story and I hope he publishes my comments.

Soon, we will expose everything – information that we have, and that will make those who doubt us to retract their sentiments. The recordings will be released if need be in the long run. We did not imagine that there would be a huge interest in the story. Today we have received over 10000 emails and they are still coming. The comments are many and will be published. We will not mislead readers in any way. API spoke to Mrs Obama and the reasons she choose us will soon be made public in necessary.

The story is true.

Mr Korir

I wanted to make you aware of what some are saying in the American Press:

Byron York at National Review mentioned the rumors at The Corner, but oddly enough almost went out of his way not to mention anything about citizenship:

    That Michelle Obama Report [Byron York]

    I’m sure a lot of you have seen references this morning to statements allegedly made by Michelle Obama in an interview with an organization called African Press International. I just asked the Obama campaign whether Michelle Obama did in fact speak to that organization, and spokesman Tommy Vietor answered:

        The answer is no, it’s not real, the report is made up. She did not speak to the organization.

ABCNews’ Jake Tapper was a little more specific on his Internet blog, Political Punch. Tapper went on to say that representatives of the Obama campaign dismissed the report as “all a lie,” and that he found their response “quite believable”:

    OBAMA CAMPAIGN SAYS MICHELLE OBAMA ‘INTERVIEW’ ON ‘AFRICAN PRESS’ WEBSITE IS 100% BOGUS

    The conservative blogs are all atwitter about a bizarre interview allegedly with Michelle Obama on a website called “African Press International.”

    My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic,” she supposedly said “on a direct telephone to API” the “interview” hypes. It goes on from there.

    This morning my inbox is filled with the “WHY ARENT YOU COVERING THIS?” emails on the subject. The answer is: because it doesn’t appear to be in any way real.

    Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs says the interview is a complete and utter fabrication. “It’s bogus, she didn’t call, it’s all a lie,” he says.

    And I have to say — I find their pushback quite believable. The Obama campaign does not tend to directly engage fringe websites making wild charges, and if they were to do so they certainly wouldn’t have Michelle Obama make the call.

    Maybe the folks at API were taken in by an imposter. Maybe they made it up, I don’t know.

    In these last three weeks, there is going to be a lot of dung thrown at the wall. Lots of charges and counter-charges and counter-counter-charges.

    A word to the wise, my friends. I don’t know if you know this, but not everything that appears on the internet is true.
