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.

People here are discussing the posted article from the Daily Mail.
Read it.
Where’s Carville with his 100 bucks when you need him?
Has anyone leafed through a Vogue For Men lately? None of those models appear particularly masculine - skinny as rails, with effeminate hair styles, and insipid expressions. Except for the hair style, Obama would fit right into those pages. It is amazing Vogue hasn’t put him under contract by now!
LOL!
I would have to see other pictures from that time to determine. Often, when my husband is intently speaking to someone I will be left behind in the same way, because he walks so fast.
“IT AIN’T ABOUT AN AFFAIR —READ MY POSTS “
We ARE reading your posts. It doesn’t matter. Clinton’s impeachment wasn’t about an affair either, but since the story involved one, that is what was focused on, and old Slick got a pass. The same thing would happen with this. We need to drop it and move ahead with the other things that can sink him. To the rats it WILL be about an affair and they don’t give a damn.
They are also talking about an expose in the Enquirer and were wondering if it was about the affair and mentioning the Enquirer is a Clinton type mouthpiece
Yes, we all know that. People are talking about the posted article. Who cares about the Enquirer?
Oh nuts, just another criminal is it? Well, I was hoping somone would catch Obama with his pants down (so to speak) and maybe work it into the last debate. He would go off like a Roman Candle with the camera panning from him to Michele.
I didn’t say it would MATTER -I said it was not about an affair —I just trying to state what the story was about
That’s Michelle talking about 0bama-in-the-morning.
Who’s the sex offender? Barry?
People on this thread do and were speculating if it was the story in the Enquirer the PUMAs were posting about
I was trying to let them know what the Enquirer story was about
It reads like a nothingburger story.
I know I heard Obama in a tv inverview before they went to Hawaii, that it was in part for his girls to spend time with his grandma. Then after the vacation, there was little mention that the kids never saw her.
You are speedy gonzalez on the pics, AM1776; I think you could very well be correct.
Totally agree with you...
