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.
Since he’s a liberal, it’s OK and a resume enhancer.
Hiiiiigh hopes, we’ve got hiiiiiiigh hopes ;)
A girl? I don’t think 0bama swings that way.
It could induce bulimia in a susceptible person.
“Plugs”.
Hadn’t heard ole Joe called that before. I like it Lizavetta.
Hope ya don’t mind if I pick that moniker up for “Plugs”?
Very good questions both.
Good job.
Yeah, throw in Marilyn and her birthday song and we have a winner. Yuck, yuck and yuck!
But a nice living it is and why invite a taxi cab to meet you at a NY intersection when you're out clubbing.
That boat,
Monkey Business”.
Appropriate name for that bore Hart to get brought down with.
The only thing not alleged about his sex life is a motel visit with one of those fainting goats.
I notice she is muli-lingual (English and French). Is that where Obama came up with his criticism of Americans who don’t know other languages and all they can say is, “Merci beaucoups”

In addition, LC has been banned.
How many f*cking 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 f*cking 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 f*cking hassle.
