Recent reports from the National Enquirer about President Obama’s potential affair with former staffer Vera Baker seems to have emerged at an opportune time as the President tries to enact financial reform. Clearly the richest boys in town don’t want this and there are conspiracy theorists saying that anti-wall street reformers are now doing whatever they can to take the focus off reform and put the spot light on another issue. And there is no bigger issue than a Presidential affair. Just ask Bill Clinton.
This isn’t the first time that the story has surfaced. Back during the 2008 presidential elections, conservative bloggers “uncovered” the story, but it was quickly dismissed because of “lack of evidence.” And besides – a campaign is the worst time to bring up a scandal, because it appears as if it’s just a smear attempt.
Hopefully all this blows away in a few days, but I don’t think so. Everyone wants to know the juicy details. Ah well, at least Tiger woods wil be relived.
