Update, Nov 4, 2008: Please note that I no longer believe anything that API says. I cannot validate or corroborate their sources. This posting is especially problematic, because as far a I can tell, there is no such tape. -- DR

This just today.
Obama’s campaign manager offers 3 million dollars to API in connection with Michelle Obama tape to be aired by Fox News Network
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." -- API

On my previous post about this below, some commenters are demanding evidence. I completely agree with them. Unless we actually hear this tape for ourselves, SOON, then there is not much of a story here.
As for the allegation that Obama is trying to buy the tapes, let's consider him innocent until proven guilty.

As much as I utterly loathe Obama and think less of him than ****, I seriously doubt that he or his staff would be stupid enough to try and bribe API for this tape.
That means API is lying, and so we can assume, unfortunately, that they are lying about the existence of the tape and their deal with Fox News as well.
I want to believe this is real as much as anyone who despises The Messiah but so far it looks like a hoax.

I just got an E mail from the editor at WorldNetDaily saying that "no tapes will be aired" in reference to this Michelle Obama tapes story. I hope he's wrong but I have no way of knowing.
Ms. Cobb, do you have any further documentation?
I now just wonder which story will turn out to be true?

{From DR -- Well, I can't speak for Gina, but I have nothing new to report. Since API claims to have made a deal with FOX, my best guess is that FOX will air this material on or about the time that Obama airs his 1/2 hr infomercial. But that's just a guess...

Wouldn't you think Obama's campaign would offer a lot more than three million dollars for this tape if it existed? I doubt the phone call even took place, and if so, there's no tape. Obama would have offered thirty million if it were true!
