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.
Middle America will not like this
If it’s true, it will still siphon off some votes from Obama, even though I agree that most people won’t care one way or the other.
“He would if Gov Palin had a lover!”
Palin does, her husband. Something the lib’s just can’t understand.
Even if it is true, they will say “quit peeking into his bedroom windows”. It is a no win battle. A red herring to boot.
Right. Like he talked ad nauseum about change for Washington and then nominated a 30+ years insider like Plugs.
Who cares? Wait until Palin brings it up. Suddenly, a lot of women will care.
I think - to quote his mentor and pastor - he’s been doin’ us dirty. ;)
Poor Michelle! So close to taking over the country she’s hated all of her life!
drudge needs to get his ass up and post it !!
This woman better take precautions for her safety if she is a liability to Obama winning the presidency.
Now, now. Let's be fair to Bubba. He was having a very serious discussion at the time. He wasn't just on the phone shooting the breeze.
He was on the phone sending American military personnel into harm's way in Bosnia.
I doubt B.O. could oneup the 'first black president'. :-P
Remember Gary Hart whose aspirations to be President were shot down with that girl on his lap in the boat...ahhhh, those were the days!
On those lazy, but not lonely, Saturday afternoons in the Oval Office, he would actually have pizza delivered occasionally.
It wouldn’t matter one bit to his followers. The undecided and others don’t care as the showed durring the Clinton administration. Even if true it won’t be covered by the media before the election.
As soon as Obama elequently told america how sorry he is they would forgive him. The media has protected and proped up this empty suit for too long to stop now. He is too important to the “Progressive” leftist movement to allow the truth to stop his campaign.
I think he could murder someone in the middle of times square on camera. The media would simply start demouncing Republicans and lack of gun control. The media will be unbearable despite the outcome of the election.
McCain wins and they will spend months discussing how racism prevaled. Obama wins and were treated to months of a love fest describing how wonderfull and momentous.
The media elites will yawn and ignore this totally. It will have no chance of hitting the big time...now, the Palin’s having a hang nail??? THAT’s a big story.
Who or what is a “Fred Baron”?
And the left will care why?
Yes, but Obama is the messiah, a black man, a leader, a man of CHANGE, he’s not the typical pol.
It could hurt him a little, take some shine off of him.
After seeing what Biden's son attempted to do, I am now beginning to wonder if there really is something to LS' allegations.
