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.

I don’t know why but the image of Reverend Wright gyrating to the words he was riding dirty just popped into my head...
That's because Bill and Hillary went on 60 Minutes to explain they had “marital difficulties” in the past, and were able to defuse things. But, if Bill had been fooling around on the campaign trail and got caught, that would have played out differently.
Could this be why Bambi took the half hour timeslots. He knows its “coming” and perhaps it will be a Bill Clinton, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman...” Otherwise these half hour slots don’t make any sense.
True - something like this is not harmful to the Democrat brand as it would be for a Republican.
But some men will LOVE it.
Barry being a player will score points.
And after seeing Michelle, well.....
Obama is hit by 'affair' smears following claims that attractive aide was banned by his wife
...The whispers focus on a young woman who in 2004 was hired to work on his team for his bid to become a senator.
The woman was purportedly sidelined from her duties after Senator Obama’s wife, Michelle, became convinced that he had developed a personal friendship with her....
Denial: The woman, whose identity we have protected, rejected the claims
Fred Baron was John Edwards’ campaign finance Chairman. Baron paid off Edward’s mistress with cash, cars and mansions in Santa Barbara.
An acorn of a different sort that didn’t fall far from the Papaobama tree
This is going to sink Obama - that alter boy wannabe. At least McCain married the lady he messed around with. This one he’s keeping in tow out of country (what a scumbag- plays all high and mighty and in reality he’s breaking his vows!!
Barack Osinner
Gee, every day for a week now a new damning story about Obama is going to break. So far, I’m underwhelmed. Why are all the details of these stories aways 2-3 days away?
Is it true that she worked closely with 0bama and was recently "reassigned" away from him?
They say we, “little” people will be the one’s hurt. Well just give us some of our money back instead, to pay OUR bills off.
The Chicago PD has some, but they are not releasing it. Surprise, surprise.
The story needs to be ignored, by the candidates, by the party and by the conservative pundits.
Time is short, and I would guess this story just might be a setup to divert the people’s attention from really important issues that can actually change the election.
My total guess is that someone from the Obama camp- maybe the candidate himself- “framed” Obama to get this story (which might not be true) out.
I don’t care about Barry’s sexual infidelity. There is plenty to care about in regards to him that make him ineligible to be President. This is not one of those things. Leave it between Michelle and himself.
Gimme a break. If this was true and she was "woman 80" of Obama's the MSM wouldn't care. The only politicians who need to worry are Republican. Please remember: DEMS GET A PASS for everything. Rapist? OK for dem. Liar (under oath or not) OK for dems. Work with terrorists? OK if you're a dem. Unfaithful? No problemo if you're a dem.
So pleeeze, cut the crap.
