Post a comment below...Anyone read Michelle Obama’s letter to African Press International?
WorldNetDaily
She tells foreign news agency ‘to support Africans and African-American view’
WASHINGTON – 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.
“African Press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” she reportedly said. “It is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a stepfather. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by his stepfather. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that my husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner.
“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 simply told API not to dig [into] that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency,” the publication reported.

I hadn’t heard that Obama’s citizenship was being questioned because he was adopted by a non-U.S. citizen.
Michelle makes it clear how the African Press International is supposed to report the news.
To Just a girl: Do you think Michelle wrote such a letter or not? I will be checking out whether the source is a type like “the Onion”.
Follow up to Just a girl. I checked. It is not a satirical website like the Onion. In checking I came across another that said Michelle Obama is throwing a hissy fit over the AFN.
