You know a story is sketchy when even a British tabloid looks at it and goes, "You know, this seems a bit salacious and over the top," as the Daily Mail has just done with the rumor, dating to August but now resurfaced, about how Barack Obama maybe got too close to an anonymous young staffer during his 2004 senate campaign, before Michelle had her exiled to the Caribbean, but probably the whole thing is just a big Republican smear. The Mail tracked the woman down somewhere in the West Indies — they won't give her name or location, dodgy Fleet Street hacks! — and she said "nothing happened. I just left... I switched careers. That’s it." Then the paper got a mysterious call from a London lawyer, and now the right-wing bloggers are saying the scandal has been basically proven.
It seems someone with money is very interested in batting down this rumor:
Senator Obama’s team did not respond to our request for comment.
But one day after we contacted Obama’s team, a London law firm informed The Mail on Sunday that it had been retained by the woman to help her to counter the whispering campaign, which they said was ‘absolutely false’.
The Democratic presidential nominee would be wise to hire a lawyer on the woman's behalf, if that's what he's doing, even if this story is totally false. It allows him to answer the charges without dignifying them with an official campaign response.
Anti-Obama bloggers have already named the woman. They say she's Vera Brown, formerly of the fundraising shop Baker Wambu & Associates, now running Cape Carribean LLC. The Google cache of the firm's homepage, now offline, seems to confirm (highlight text to make it visible) that Brown had the title of National Finance Director for Obama's 2004 senate campaign. And yet, claims one blog, Claire Serdiuk was the real Finance Director — so maybe Vera Baker was getting paid off, or something. Another blogger wonders if Obama and Baker hooked up when Obama went down to the Virgin Islands for his elitist Muslim vacation.
The Mail reported that ABC News and the LA Times "have been provided with the woman's name," whatever that means, so maybe this smear, assuming that's what it is, will be debunked before the election gets any closer. Might as well get it out of the way now so we can move on to the next insane Obama rumor.
I was wondering when we were going to hear about bimbo eruptions. Unlike previous democrat spouses, Michele displays an odd disrespect and disdain for her husband that can only be attributed to possible shenanigans with another woman.
I always knew Silky Pony had a chick on the side strictly based on his own self-love and forced child-bearing on his wife. Someone with that large of an ego is seldom willing to not partake of everything offered to him.
Look at what Hugh Grant went for when he cheated on mega-hottie Elizabeth Hurley!
I question the timing of this
:)
mega-hottie Elizabeth Hurley???????? Chisel off that make-up, and that’s a man, baby.
I guess Larry Sinclair is REALLY jealous also....
Sorry, we don’t need anymore sexexpades in the WH. We had enough of that with the Clintons. Character does count.
Al “hot grits in the lap” Green.
Rule Britannia! First they help us save the Economic meltdown with bank stocks now they may derail a randy Obama with his past love affairs. Way to go mother county.
RE: “Is this meant to quiet any thoughts that Obama is gay or bisexual?”
That’s what I was thinking..........better a female mistress than something thought to be even more unsavory. If we could catch him with she-males, THAT would be something, eh?
Are we absolutely positive that Captain Telepromter isn’t bill clintons son?
Interesting information. Beware the anger of a scorned woman. It goes all the way back to Jason and Medea and forward to Green and countless others. And women are getting meaner these days. BTW, women are as much a target of mean women as are the menfolk.
Guilty as SIN!

Seems to switch back and forth, but if experience has taught me anything; always believe the very first thing you see.

” Michele displays an odd disrespect and disdain for her husband... “
She really does treat him with contempt in public , which emasculates him further.
Besides the size advantage that she has over Barry the Bantamweight.
She’s obviously the Alpha male in that relationship.
She told Vanity Fair (? ) that Obama was stinky in the morning and the kids didn’t want anything to do with him.
I can’t find it now, but, back in my postings a few months ago,
I found an article where Barry talked about how Michelle used to tease him all the time about his nose.
The same nose he told Dowd not to mention because he had been teased unmercifully about it.
ABC profile as quoted by Newsbusters June ,2008
” The Illinois senator joked about his wife speaking more endearingly of him on the campaign trail than she does behind closed doors:
“She never says such nice things about me at home!” he smiles. “I really enjoy listening to her praise me like that because when I get home she’ll remind me that I didn’t make the bed.”
