I think if that tape were played now, most Americans would be supportive of the sentiment.

The use of blackmail to control our government is sickening. It has been done and perhaps still is. Will Obama be blackmailed? He might be already. There will surely be efforts to do so.

Those who blackmail and coerce want something in return. They are not our friends. We need to ask who is getting the most from the US and why is it that our elected officials are “blackmailable?”
