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 will just put a tingle up the legs of those who condoned Clinton’s sexual escapades. Nothing to see here.
The list of troubles is getting longer and longer. Will anything stick?
That was when they were on Vaction in Hawaii.. I knew it, I knewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it.
Prettier than Michelle Obama...her facial features are softer.
;-)
“Obama is hit by ‘affair’ smears “
THESE HELEN THOMAS THREADS ARE GETTING REDUNDANT!!

Huh? I admit that I hang out with the elites in the Republican party and drink martinis with the "in" Washington crowd but this is the first I've ever heard of this. I was talking to Newt and Gw just last night and they never even mentioned it.
If true, Obama's in! This must be the October surprise........
It sounds like a resume’ enhancer. But, we haven’t even begun with Sinclair yet.
How can you pick up on those things. Never even crossed my mind to check for how they acted around each other during their trip.
In any event, this is a non story. Unless there is some strong and compelling Edwards-esque proof I say there is nothing to see here
Wouldn’t be Republicans spreading this sort of story. We firmly believe he’s an “in the closet” type gay blade for one thing. Further, we KNOW this klutz only does what Michelle let’s him do.
I think they've used this play before and we're seeing it again.
It ain’t about an affair It is about friendship with some criminal I saw it this evening in the supermarket checkout line but didn’t get a chance to read it
When they left Hawaii.. Obama was seen boarding the plane by himself.. and when he got to Chicago , he was seen getting off the plane without his family, even though his family was onboard.
This is so meaningless compared with this:

Let’s not lose focuse please.
I think this should just be left to the National Inquirer and Mac should leave it alone.
