Obama is hit by 'affair' smears following claims that attractive aide was banned by his wife

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.

Well, Michelle always struck me as a well balanced, secure woman, that’s out of character for her, huh? :-)

Actually if I were Lady Frankensetin I’d be worried too - so many gullible young women have a crush on her husband, it’s certainly there for him if he wants to indulge.

From the looks of that pic, she seems to bring a lot more to the table than Mrs. Obama (AKA Lady Frankensetin).

This seems a whole lot less definite than the "serious charges" we read about that deal with Governor Palin. They were more forceful with the charge that Sarah was really Trig's grandmother than they are with an Obama scandal. Bias?

IMHO, this is probably a meaningless “scandal” meant to distract people and particulalry the easily sleezebaited press from the more important radical alliances and economic backwardness of Barak Hussein Obama.

[piasa]

If true, Obama's in! This must be the October surprise........

Sure, put out by people who support Obama.

I see,this is a vicious smear whereas saying Sarah had an affair with a story already to be released by the National Inquirer(which I notice never came out after a law suit threat), was just truthful. The MSM have their collective noses so far up BozObama’s butt they will never get it out!

“I don’t believe this story because I honestly think Obama is gay. Not because of Larry Sinclair either. He just comes off that way, very effeminate.”

Ever notice how he runs up the steps onto a stage. He has that “girly-type” way that he runs with his hands held up high. My sister pointed it out and by gosh she’s right, he does run like a girl.

Ya think ??
This may actually be an attempt by Team Shabazz Obama to solidify his male bona fides and squelch those pesky gay rumors.
Real men, like those at Landstuhl , scare him.
Shabazz Obama is his own personal Rainbow Coalition- effeminate, possibly gay, black, Communist, Black Muslim, Muslim, Kenyan, Indonesian, Quasi White and Faux Kansan.
No one will ever accuse him of being an American.

He was swapping spit with Bidens wife on stage.

ding! ding! ding!
We have a winner!

[Soul Seeker]

That’s nice. I really don’t care. At this point Obama having an affair would be the least of disqualifiers in my mind.

I hope conservatives and Republican’s aren’t stupid enough to even touch this set up by the Dems to turn attention off Acorn and Ayers. Ignore and keep fire on the current targets.

[TaxRelief]

"... woman's name?

Obama strikes me as the type to have affairs with guys, rather than women.

[Plutarch]

If the vicious right wing is behind this, why not even a peep at FR?

Must....redouble...efforts.

nobama08, you wrote—”Wouldn’t even be a blip on the MSM radar, especially with McCain’s background. Nope, not going anywhere.”

Stand and deliver. Post a link about “McCain’s background” so I can rebut it.

[FlyingEagle]

Move along, nothing to see here. Just another gal he knew from the neighborhood.....

Tapatio, good job, how did you find that, two things, the blogger copied entire posts from MikeFrancesa.com without providing a link, secondly if you search his website, he is an Obama supporter, strange.

My question is for future reference, if I find a photo from yahoo, how do I ensure I can keep it forever, is it as simple as saving the pic to my computer, because yahoo seems to not save old photos from their slideshows.
