It is an audio report (not very long) that discusses the controversy.
The important thing to realize is that it was originally a LIBERAL website - The Huffington Post ( I refuse to link to them so search there on your own) - which first showed a photo of the ring online back in 2010. That is the photo that Jerome Corsi utilized in his story. However, there is another photo now going around (and being used by one or more of the usual so-called fact "debunking" sites - which are all basically liberal and loyal supporters of Obama) that shows the ring altered.
During the audio report, Mr. Klein and Mr. Corsi discuss the fact that Obama's ring was "in for repair" . Is it just a coincidence that the Huffingtom Post article appeared in March, 2010 and then Obama has his ring "in for repair" in September, 2010?
What kind of repair, I wonder? From the looks of the Snopes photo, the so-called "repair" job looks more like jewelry repair disaster! Doesn't it look damaged here?? (again...scroll down to photo.)
Hmmm....
From the beginning, this has been a "Talk Wisdom Reports...You Decide" issue. If it turns out that I and these reporters were wrong, I will admit it. But I am still trying to follow the evidence - wherever it leads. I don't read or speak Arabic, but those who do have pointed out the Arabic writing contained in the ring. The photos can be seen HERE. Scroll down the page to view them.
Update: Here are the photos for comparison.
