    "October Surprise"?

    Anyone else hearing about the possibility of a Michelle Obama tape on the pulpit with Rev. Wright slamming "whitey". The rumors making the rounds in certain circles. Of course, the MSM would just brush it off as a non-issue.

    Does that mean Obama's "leave my wife alone!" plea was more of a preemptive strike?

    perhaps--I like that too, she can get up on the stump and tell us all how we're fucked up and her husbands here to save us, but we can't question anything either of them has to say or have done with their lives.

    I don't see why it shouldn't come out or that there's anything wrong or "dirty" about it - if it exists. She is auditioning to be one of the most prominent figureheads in the world. How she's chosen to present herself up to this point is not outside the realm of logical consideration.

    If McCain's wife had been taped on a podium at a KKK meeting, you wouldn't think it was topical?

    The problem with the rumor is I would have thought the Clintons had it, in which case it would be out by now I would think. Bill is shrewd however and he could be keeping it in his quiver until the convention. It may be the RNC has it too and waiting until he's confirmed as the nominee.

    I'm not saying it isn't topical. But it was initially presented as a rumor and all I'm saying is that should this rumor be true whether the media tries to brush it off or not, it will come out and we will all see it.

    Of course it wouldn't come out until AFTER Hillary has been properly disposed of.

    Good point - I believe this is also possible. Bill has a massive collection, and may have just come across it.

    Michelle and Wright slamming a whitey on the pulpit?

    Yeah, that sounds like a video that is probably in Bill's collection.

    I would say this rumor is laughable. I think Michelle Obama was well aware of her husband's political ambitions a long time ago.

    But I'm still hot on the trail of the story of the guy who had sex with Obama twice back in 1998. He claims that Obama has a pink penis, there has been a conspiracy of silence among those who have showered with Obama.

    As bad as Mrs. Obama is, based on her statements that have already come out, I really doubt this "smoking gun" exists. If it did, why would Hillary not have used it before this?

    I think it happened, thus it's plausible that it's on tape. Bill might be waiting until right before the convention. Get as much as they can from FL and MI. Then spring this on the public deeming Obama unelectable(which he is already). The get the super delegates on Hills side. Or the RNC could have it, in which case they are waiting until he's clearly the nominee then blow him out of the water.

    I sit back in my armchair in Germany and think to myself that the world's most powerful nation will soon be run by Obama, Hillary or McCain and that electors of this great nation are speculating about whose got what dope on whom and when it might be released to influence the masses.

    It probably works like this in all democracies, but those countries are pretty weak compared to your nation. Even the UK would be no match.

    It doesn't concern me in the slightest mind, you've seemingly been successful with this model for centuries. I am a mere observer.

    And yet from your armchair in Germany, you often toss things from a perspective that we are too close in to see 'round here. Campaigning has changed since the advent of TV and not for the better IMO...and someone is grilling barbecued ribs somewhere in the neighborhood..now what was I saying?

    i would have to think that in this day and age with everything ending up on youtube that if this recording did exist, it would have been out by now. i find it hard to believe that theres only one copy and its in the hands of hillary or mccains camps

    i'd also like to know what "slamming whitey" means. were they chanting "kill whitey", or was it something much less mild.

    all it takes if for someone against obama to come up with something crazy and start to spread it around the net. some people out there will think its fact and continue to think that even if its proven to be 100% false

    and it works both ways

    i could spread a rumor saying i heard that mccain has a very bad heart and records show he only has 2 years to live. now, as far as i know thats 100% false. bet i can promise you theres someone out there that will be thinking about that when they go to vote

    this is like the weeks leading up to the draft. we're going to be bombarded by all kinds of bullshit, so take the rumors you hear with a grain of salt

    I could really pick this apart. But if all she said was the word "whitey" isnt that enough?

    did she for a fact use the term whitey?

    did she for a fact say anything?

    you seem to be one of the folks that has bought this hook line and sinker without actually seeing any proof

    Several valid points there.

    I tend to agree, if a tape like that existed, it would be out and about. It would NOT have actually been made by either the Clinton people or the RNC. It would have to have been sold to them, and in that case, it would probably also be leaked elsewhere once the seller got his money.

    Also, it's true, the accusation against Michelle doesn't sound particularly substantial. It seems to me that the main harm to Obama would be to undermine his rather unbelievable claim that he didn't know about the worst of Wright's remarks.

    Tarlam, it seems to me that you are lumping scandalous type stuff and disloyalty type stuff altogether. While we have had plenty of both, it seems like since Clinton (Bill) anyway, the disloyalty stuff is a far greater problem than the morality/scandall stuff.

    The bottom line in all of this is that there are infinitely worst and more relevant things about Obama's positions on the ISSUES than about his family and associates.

    Actually, Tex, I don't think I am.

    I think if either Clinton or McCain have such a video and are timing the release to maximise the impact to get a) nominated in Clinton's case or B) elected in McCain's case, the idea is to manipulate the masses to beat the oponent.

    My observation is merely dealing with potential information, not morality or loyalty. I repeat, I am not concerned by this. In this case, we are talking about potential racist remarks. Living in a country where 6 million Jew were exterminated, I can fully understand why racism should be a concerning issue.
