From Ed over at Hot Air:
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. In the midst of Barack Obama’s continuing insistence that William Ayers was just some guy in the neighborhood (and just some guy on two non-profit boards with whom Obama worked for almost a decade), people asked why Obama then gave Ayers a promotional blurb for his book, A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court. Team Obama spokesmen Bill Burton and Robert Gibbs categorically denied it.

Michelle Obama tapes’ imminent release approaching: API in a serious negotiation with FOX NEWS on the best way forward.

Lets cut Barry some slack… Barry was just paying Ayers back for ghost-writing Dreams of My Father.
No seriously, good catch…

MVRed, hasn’t that been promised, and promised, and promised, and never delivered? Has Fox confirmed said report?
October 21st, 2008 at 10:56 pm
JayPe. This is the first out of API in months about this story from their higher up’s. I WANT to believe it, I just don’t know if I can!

I am hearing and reading that Saxby Chablisss might lose because he was
not prepared for a close election this year. After 2006, how in the world
is any R not prepared?? How could he let this happen? This will probably
be the 60th D seat if he loses. It is just unreal. The sam thing is
happening with Liddy Dole. What is with these people??

MVRed (and others), don’t get sucked into the African Press story. Don’t even click the link if you have not seen it already. I think this has less likelihood of being true or breaking than Berg’s lawsuit (which just took a serious blow with the FEC coming out against him). I read some of the API posts and they are very very implausible (accusations of CIA and all). I really think this is a big hoax and it is probably meant to distract those on the right (and many seemed to have taken the bait including Jim Corsi). I really hope I am wrong, but I am almost sure I am not…
Why can’t we get sucked into these types of distractions at this point? They waste our time from digging into legitimate issues. Remember the Clinton/flag story?? We have so many legitimate stories we need to push on like Biden’s “testing Obama” statement which the msm still has not picked up like they should. Don’t worry…if the cr*p like above is true it will break on its own.

Also, please don’t take what I said as a lecturing
. What amazes and upsets me is that we have so many damning things we can use right in front of us which Republicans are not currently taking advantage of…
I still have not seen a Wright video or a video about Obama’s cocaine use (and probably crack use). Any of these would be devastating if properly used. Are there other rumors out there that are not yet “proven?” Absolutely, like Larry Sinclair, Michele’s whitey comments, this API story, the Berg case (which I spent way too much time on myself). However, we have good material already in front of us, so why waste the time chasing the rabbit down the rabbit hole? That is what Obama wants us to do.

No. It’s all crap. At best it’s the fervent prayer of frightened and naive partisans and at worst it’s a ruse in the form of disinformation planted to embarrass the center-right blogs and e-communities and to inoculate Obama against any real allegations or revelations that may arise.
Ignore it, friends and well wishers. Let it go.

Begone, sad troll.

Holy *%&%,
Are you press in the US covering this?
