We decided to have a little fun Saturday night by posting this item on an alleged girlfriend of Barack Obama being exiled to the Caribbean by the gracious and charming Michelle Obama.
Well, it sure sounds as if there's a whole lot more than we thought originally.
I put that link up as mostly just a bit of baiting of Andrew Sullivan. I didn't expect much to come from it.
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. And she's been there for at least a year. (At least.) This isn't some sabbatical or few months' of "work" on an island paradise.
Hmm. How long until we hear about smears?
Read the rest at Ace.
Someone wants to know: Who is Vera Baker?
Who is Vera Baker?
Some people in Chicago claim she was Obamas 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 Obamas 2004 Senate campaign say Claire Serdiuk was Obamas Finance Director. Looking through everything we can see online for that 2004 campaign, Claire Serdiuk is consistently listed as the Finance Director - because thats what she was.
Theres 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.
Right around the time Michelle Obama got incredibly angry about something. We know it was hard to tell, because Michelles angry about something on a good day but this was EXTRA angry.
And then, even more suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to the island of Martinique, where she remains.
We hear its lovely there. They get lots of sunshine on Sundays. Paradise. A lovely place to read between the lines and ask lots of questions. All reporters should go there and feel inspired.
Vera has a website.
Previously, she served as the National Finance Director on Senator Barack Obamas 2004 Senate campaign. She also served as the Deputy Political Director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Do all Democrats aspire to be like Bill Clinton?
It appears as though Michelle’s status is that of just another “co-president.”
Fire up the WayBack machine for the website?
Ace of Spades has refused to discuss this on his site any longer:

Warning: language.
I think Kennedy set the standard...
-somebody said that and I saw it on FR.
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?
How soon before she "disappears"?
What did her website have to say?

Hillary protected Bubba. Michelle won’t do that for Obama.
Turns out that, according to the Enquirer, anyway):
"For seven years, the presidential candidate had a 'father-son' relationship with Frank Marshall Davis, who has confessed to having sex with children, sadomasochism, bondage and practicing a wide array of deviant sexual activities.... Since Frank Davis has been identified as the author of Sex Rebel: Black, Obama has been extremely secretive about the true nature of his experience with the self-admitted deviant.
The story Now THAT is an interesting little tidbit. The Clinton machine may be quiet, but I think it has not shut down....
Are we sure this isn’t some kind of joke that’s being promulgated on us to distract us from the real issues here? The reason I ask this is -
Vera Baker
is the name
of Whoopi Goldberg’s character
in the movie
Rat Race
