The Obama Girlfriend Story: It's Real
I put that link up as mostly just a bit of baiting of Andrew Sullivan.
Having now spoken to someone tracking the story, I can say:
1) It's not just a silly little rumor.
2) It will break in some form shortly. The question is how prestigious an outlet breaks it. (PS, at best, it won't be that prestigious, at least at first, but there's a lot here so when someone finally touches, there is a good chance of an Edwards-like "Oh yeah, we were working on that too" pile-on.) Fire is being held as those who know the story try to get someone of import to break it; if they pass, it will be flooded out through secondary channels.
3) The story has a Fred Baron. Not The Fred Baron. But actually-- an even better Fred Baron. The woman is "working" in the Caribbean drawing a salary from.... uhhh... let's say from someone who is a big, shiny part of the dirty Chicago political machine. And it makes no sense that she's doing her supposed "job," for which she seems unqualified anyway, in the Caribbean, of all places. It's unclear how she could possibly do this job at all, never mind from the Caribbean.
4) This woman was a major, big-time fundraiser. She raised x millions of dollars for various Democratic interests (connected to Obama) and then opened her own shop in DC. Since she was (as any fundraiser does) getting a cut of the take, this was a lucrative job. But she, for reasons unfathomable, suddenly shut the shop down and decamped to a little Caribbean island. And somewhere along the line got a "job" from her own Fred Baron. Which conveniently put her far away from Obama, Michelle, and the media.
5) Within hours of the Daily Mail article breaking, she called the Illinois hq of the Obama campaign. They wouldn't talk to her.
Incidentally, didn't Obama vacation in the Caribbean after he won the primaries...? Oh that's right, he did. I raised this with my source who, alas, hadn't even made that connection.
Yeah...do I vote or do I stay home. That's the decision.
Nobody who can fog a mirror hasn't made up their mind to vote one PARTY or the other.
You'd have to have the IQ of a pet rock to be on the fence for this one.
Who is Vera Baker?
Some people in Chicago claim she was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. FEC Senate campaign records show she was paid a pretty penny as “Finance Director”.
However, people familiar with Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign say Claire Serdiuk was Obama’s Finance Director. Looking through everything we can see online for that 2004 campaign, Claire Serdiuk is consistently listed as the Finance Director - because that’s what she was.
There’s no mention of Vera Baker…but Vera Baker was paid as the “Finance Director” too.
And then, suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to New York.

Yeah, I know, Obama is one guy you are almost surprised to see with a girl.
Fred Thompson should be the speaker. McCain can sit next to him and nod approvingly. ;^)
Isn’t this fun? ;^)
Lots of corroborating evidence as to that fact, yet Obama's website has been sanitized so as not to include her name.
Why does Barack you ignorant slut come to mind?
Ace has pulled the thread.
He says:
“As readers would not respect my repeatedly expressed wishes.”
“In addition, LC has been banned.”
“How many ****ing times did I have to say do not print her name? A thousand?”
“Not only are you exposing me to risk I cannot afford, you’re also not “in the know” by printing her name over and over. Everyone ****ing knows who it is. You’re not proving you’re some smart Internet Detective by repeatedly linking it.”
“Should I just stop reporting stuff like this? Let me know. I don’t need the ***ing hassle.”
So was John Edwards.
Wambu has a facebook account with a picture of herself.
I also noticed that Wambu is Deputy Political Director -
Biden for President.
Is it possible that Biden has some part in this???
I'll bet Clinton wishes he'd taken it a little easy on the Pizza.
Wonder what kind of tipper he was?
Yeah, somebody else should do the spade work.
LOL. I don’t understand how people think he is such a GQ kind of guy. To me, he looks like a gangly PeeWee Herman in black face, especially in that photo of him on a bike. Larry Sinclair seems much more plausible. What do I know though, I’m not a politician.
Hawaii was his August vacation...he went on a mysterious Caribbean holiday over Easter. It was seen as an escape from the Reverend Wright scandal.
Just a smokescreen so they won’t go after his gay lover.
Could be what Pastor Manning meant by "Long Legged Mack Daddy".
Boy, if ya think Hillary was a bear when Bill was being Bill.
Ya think ole shelf ass would be fun to deal with in this type situation?
She is probably getting her dough down there from Richard Daley. I googled her and found out that she formed a firm in Chicago in 2000 with a woman named Muthoni Wambu their firm was Baker Wambu & Associates, a political fund-raising firm.
Muthoni Wambu is now the Deputy Political Director for JOE BIDEN ‘S CAMPAIGN. Muthoni Wambu
Directed the 1989 and 1991 campaigns of MAYOR RICHARD M. DALEY.
SO LET’S SEE
VERA BAKER AND WAMBU WERE IN WITH THE DALEY MACHINE AND THEN VERA GOT IN WITH OBAMA AND WAMBU GOT IN WITH BIDEN. HOW COZY IT ALL IS.
Seems hard to believe doesn’t it?
Yes, it is hard to believe. I thought John Kerry had Prostrate Cancer and had radical surgery. His whole Prostrate was removed.
