The link is here, but I've removed the rest of the post because something's fishy about this deal, and the claim that Fox will air the tape has no corresponding presence on the Fox site.
So the original post is gone for now while I dig around a bit more. I read the comments at the API post I linked and it's like a tin foil hat parade, which makes me think that my rule of not blogging before the 2nd cup of coffee is generally a wise one.
I've saved the original post text, if it checks out I'll repost it here, if not, there's no point in promoting nonsense.
UPDATE: It stinks, don't expect to see anything on Fox from the API. In real news about Obama and tapes, US bloggers are raising cash to try and secure the release of the Obama/Khalidi tape that the Los Angeles Times has locked away. This is a real story.

They are a joke that someone will ultimately end up connecting to one organization or another supporting the [R] campaign.
I had heard about the possibility of a tape a long time ago, but not that it was API. To be honest when I read the comments at the site, especially from the chief editor, it destroyed the credibility of the source.
I respect you for seeing sense so quickly. That only took moments.
Hey, I’d *love* it to be true, but I’m really really doubtful. And yet ANOTHER delay this morning? After weeks of delays and heightened expectations built again yesterday? It’s *exactly* what I expected to happen today.
And guess what? There’s a delay… with yet another fanciful story.
This week we seem to have a target-rich environment so we might as well focus on Obama’s real and verifiable weaknesses. I wouldn’t be shocked if API was doing this as part of a political op to discredit conservative bloggers, but — more likely — it’s just a plain old-fashioned publicity stunt.
Fixed, for now. It was the claim that Fox was to air a tape that got my attention, but I should have checked first and posted later. I appreciate the heads up.
You’re being sucked in by a scam. Focus.
