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.

As Rush would say: “This would be a resume enhancer.”
but it would be powerful.....Bill saying he just can not support the abomination etc....and if he had a couple of known black democrats to stand besides him....
but....it ain't going to happen....
Ruin his chances??? LOL Look at everything we already KNOW to be true about him and no one (except us) cares one bit! An affair? Wouldn’t even be a blip on the MSM radar, especially with McCain’s background. Nope, not going anywhere.
Obama Has Never Smoked Cigarettes
"These vicious smears about smoking must stop!" says campaign.
Yes, it could be an attempt to get people chasing rabbits down a hole.
That’s why I mentioned it’s a “wait and see” story. But it is out there, so I decided to post it for discussion.
IF this is true, it’s the least of Obama’s character flaws, that’s for damn sure.
Well the National Enquirer has a small insert on the bottom of the front page about Obama’s friendship with a criminal of some kind
Hadn’t seen anything here or maybe I missed it
I haven’t heard a word about the Clinton’s in quite awhile. Of course, I just started a new job and have not had time to check in on all the latest news.
If she works for 0bama, there should be pictures of her.
That is, if the story is true.
Now all those problems with that McCain-Palin rumor can be put to rest.
Get pictures and get the girl talking to the press. Give her CASH!
This is a nothingburger.
This guy pals around with convicts, terrorists, and black nationalists. And somehow a little affair is going to derail him?
If it's coming through the Enquirer, you can count on it.
Michelle found out on their vacation in Hawaii, I knew it. She got off the plane in Hawaii, and everything was wonderful, but it did not take long and her mood changed and Obama spent nearly the whole week with Michelle absent from his side, except at Pearl Harbor museum.
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.
I’m glad you said that. I think it’s a red herring also.
bambi didn’t beat his opponent...HE STOLE IT FROM HER.
How could anyone get past this in the story?
