The National Enquirer has been pushing a salacious story indicating that President Barack Obama and former campaign aide Vera Baker carried on an affair beginning in 2004 � see her photo below.
Reportedly, the 35-year-old Baker was a tireless worker who raised millions for the Obama U.S. Senate campaign and was instrumental in helping to get him elected. According to the Enquirer, anti-Obama operatives are offering $1 million to eyewitnesses who can attest that an affair actually did take place. The NE contends that the alleged trysts took place at the home of a DC friend and at the Hotel George.
An anonymous limo driver is quoted in the story and he details a specific evening where he squired the couple to several fundraising events and then dropped them off together at the Hotel George.
On-site surveillance video footage is reportedly being sought by NE investigators. The report suggests that �if the tape surfaces, it will explode the scandal�.
We are prone to dismiss the story as so much bunk. That said, we and everyone else thought the same about the John Edwards and Rielle Hunter scandal too � and we all know how that one turned out. Let�s just say that under the circumstances we are skeptical but could be persuaded with something substantially more solid than the account of �an anonymous limo driver�.
