The First Sista -- Michelle Obama calls Corsi 'evil'

"'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.'

"AFI asked Michelle Obama to comment on the detention of Corsi during his visit last week to Kenya, where he was investigating the presidential

candidate's links to a controversial strongman serving as prime minister.

"'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.

"AFI also said the first lady in waiting had some clear instructions for the publication.

"'Mrs. Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the inauguration ceremony when, as she put it, her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States

of America next year,' the report said. (You scratch my back and I will scratch yours -- Ed.)

"Michelle Obama had one other point to make – regarding the endorsement of her husband by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, which she deemed 'unfortunate.'

"She reportedly told AFI that it was unfortunate that the highly controversial Farrakhan made his support known before the election."

She is not thrilled that Farrakhan endorsed her husband?
