is mad at African Press International:
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.
Read the whole thing. It’s unfuckingbelievable, and I’ve got too much work to deal with it all right now.

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.
Of course, this story falls into the “too shocking to be believed” category for now.

I don’t find it unbelievable at all. This story is perfectly in keeping with the progressive entitlement mentality, and with the bizarre notion that not wanting to vote for the Obamessiah can only be interpreted as racist. The question is, will this get any traction? I doubt it.
I despair.

Heh. “This story”? What story? I don’t see a story.
Move along.

“…unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over.”
Yep.. The cast of characters that will be openly embraced after the election is over will be interesting… interesting and disturbing I think..

I have a feeling she means this in a more general sense than just his citizenship.

O! will NOT be denied his rightful place as president, law or no law. Michelle has spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.

You know, he’s entitled to native born citizenship, and we are morally obligated to grant it to him, whatever the facts are. Racial social justice demands it!

Wow, a group of people even dumber than a typical Sarah Palin rally.
Helpful hint: Don’t respond to those too-good-to-be-true offers from banking ministers in Nigeria.

Easy to say, Geek, but 1) would it be too much to ask that the naysayers go so far as to conduct some actual research and check into phone records, as it seems that these folks have no reason to nuke themselves, and 2) where the hell has Mrs. Obama been these past few weeks, and why?

Ask yourself this:
If some diarist at Daily Kos claimed that Cindy McCain called him up and bashed him for not supporting the white candidate in the race and offered to bribe him, would any rational human being find that credible?
I never bothered researching the generous guys from Nigeria who emailed me a while back. My loss I guess.

No, because Cindy McCain isn’t a racist, communist thug.
Your point?
