Obama is hit by 'affair' smears following claims that attractive aide was banned by his wife
DailyMail(UK) ^ | 10-11-08 | Sharon Churcher

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.

It’s about him getting money from a male porn mogul. The Enquirer had it on their website last night.

We all know the MSM would never sit on an unflattering story about Obama, right?

MUCH, MUCH better looking than Michelle. I wonder if we’ll ever hear that Obama is her baby daddy?

Actually, these scandals only mean anything if a republican is involved.

I wonder how Michelle will react to this? Can you see Obama’s people restraining her, I can’t.

The one at the top of the thread, in the Daily Mail.

Probably right — they will blame the story on the sleazy dirty tricks GOP

The story in The Enquirer is a different story about a fundraiser who ia linked to gay porn. The story in the British Daily Mail is about a “close relationship” Obama had with a staffer who was allegedly relocated to the Caribbean at Michelle’s direction.

The only thing threatening about this story and that picture is that all those people sitting on the ground probably got chiggers.

Once again, terminology is the most interesting part of MSM news stories.

The ugly rumors Governor Palin endured were “new charges.”

Obama faces “smears.”

of course, not that that would make him a bad person. It’s BaCrack’s ideas and his lying of who he really is that makes him dangerous. But again, the repubs put up a RINO who can’t make articulate his ideas very well and always seems to point to who knows what which is really irritating.

how could that be when there are rumors that Barry is gay?

Think you're getting close. This story may well be a plant to "prove" Barry is not gay. Clinton proved this type of allegation (affair) is actually GOOD for decomcrat candidates.
