Obama/ Baker affair--Never happened and setting the record straight!
Edited on Mon May-03-10 04:14 PM by Blue_Roses
While it frustrates the hell out of me to be giving any of my time to this crap, let the record show for those who are leary and of course, those rwing family members itching for a scandal. Set it straight once and for all!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Barack Obama - Vera Baker affair - truth or rumor? Setting the record straight
May 3, 1:53pm -- Celebrity Infidelity Examiner -- Ruth Houston


"Did President Barack Obama REALLY have an affair with Vera Baker? Who is she and what are the facts?

Stories of an affair between Vera Baker and Barack Obama have been running rampant all over the internet for the past few days.

The rumor, not a new one, has been resurrected, and the Vera Baker – Barack Obama cheating scandal has taken on a life of its own.

Is there any truth to this rumor?

--snip--


Bottom Line

"Is there any truth to the rumor about Barack Obama and Vera Baker having an affair?

I think it’s significant that NONE of the major news outlets (The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, etc) have chosen to even dignify this rumor by reporting on it.

I think it’s also significant that when ABC and NBC checked out this rumor in 2008, they chose not to pursue it any further, and let the matter drop.

The facts that have been uncovered thus far are definitely NOT proof that Vera Baker was Obama’s mistress, or that an affair between Barack Obama and Vera Baker ever occurred.

If Vera Baker was a key person on Obama’s campaign team, there were probably legitimate reasons why she was taken to his hotel.

Until more substantial proof is actually presented for the public to see, I think we can safely assume that the rumor of a Vera Baker – Barack Obama affair is just that – a rumor and nothing more."

________________________________________________

While I realize the temptation to this is strong for many politicians and WE ALL have at least one vice, something besides this article gives me reason to think that "cheating" is not one of his vices.

Besides, after Michelle, his mother-in-law, Oprah, Gayle, and Hillary, the line would be out the door for the many other women standing there waiting to beat his ass--especially after what we went through with Clinton.

Also, with the way he looks at Michelle, the man is utterly head-over-heels in love with his wife.






"At Last” may have been just what President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama were thinking Tuesday night as they glided through their first inaugural dance to the Etta James classic."

2. You could have just posted "This story is utter horseshit. It never happened."
Would have saved you a lot of time and effort.

It ain't true.

16. BUT get this the only proof they have is
they were seen entering the hotel where the Democrats at that time had their headquarters. What in the hell evidence is that. I am sure Baker entered at different times with different people as did Obama. Were each of them having an affair with every person they entered the hotel with. The republicans are really reaching. Maybe the will spend 80M trying to drum up a scandal like they did with Clinton.

18. Clinton DID have inappropriate relationships during his life
and he lied about them , including on Monica, under oath. Don't connect this with Clinton or even with the Republicans. Blame the gossip press.

19. Well, Barack's still alive.
Edited on Tue May-04-10 11:50 AM by Nicholas D Wolfwood
And I'm be inclined to believe that even Secret Service wouldn't stop Michelle from beating him to within an inch of his life if it were true. So, no, I don't buy it.

Edit: You know how scrawny he is, and look at how jacked Michelle is! He wouldn't stand a chance!!

21. They don't have the goods. Evidence dead ends.
Even if they can place them at the hotel at the same time it proves nothing.

Common sense says it is b.s. Here is a guy running for senate. He would be an idiot to be that careless.

Even with video footage, unless it shows them doing the deed, they have nothing.
