Barack Obama is the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US Presidency by falsely claiming he had a close friendship with an attractive African-American female employee. 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. The allegations were initially circulated in August, just two weeks before the convention at which Obama finally beat his opponent for the Democratic Party nomination, Hillary Clinton.
The woman, now 33, vigorously denies the vicious and unsubstantiated gossip.
And some Washington insiders suggested that she was the victim of an 11th-hour attempt to smear Obama by die-hard Hillary supporters.
But now the rumours have resurfaced, suggesting that they may be coming from elements in the Republican Party.
According to sources interviewed by The Mail on Sunday, the respected Los Angeles Times, the tabloid National Enquirer and the huge ABC television network have been provided with the woman’s name.

This sounds like a "wait and see." In the PUMA thread the OP says there is supposed to be a National Enquirer story about Obama on Monday and wonders if this could be it.
Bill and Hillary at work here?????
this is getting so fun
I doubt Obama would ruin his Pres chances with an affair, however he does KISS every good looking female at every speech he can.
That Obama “tingle” might come back to bite him on the @$$.
I knew, I knew.. it happened while they were on Vacation in Hawaii.. ..I knew it. that is when Michelle found out.
I still say that B&H will deliver for McCain.
besides...is he into "that" kind of thing?
how could that be when there are rumors that Barry is gay?
Don't fall for it.
Don’t believe it..everyone know Obama cheats on his wife with men, not women.
Why would we try to smear him on this when there are so many more substansial things to go after him on..?
I wonder how Michelle will react to this? Can you see Obama’s people restraining her, I can’t.
Has there ever been a public figure that hasn’t been accused of indiscretion (as they call it)?
That is to say, has there ever been a public figure who hasn’t used his/her power to get laid?
Well! This is something new.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
did it sink Bill Clinton?
I’m convinced there could be indisputable evidence Obama was a traitor or didn’t qualify to be president and nothing would happen to him....
Bill Clinton had dozens of affairs, didn’t keep him from winning the White House did it? Seems that democrats likes their presidents to be adulterers.
