Did Obama Have an Affair with Vera Baker Recently?
Posted on October 12, 2008
The rumors are swirling, but I never heard them. The first I heard of them was in this preemptive defense calling them smears. Larry Johnson is talking this up, but he isn’t the most reliable source…however when Jammie Wearing Fool has info and predicts this will be a scoop I listen.
From Sharon Churcher’s preemptive defense piece:
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.
Having now spoken to someone tracking the story, I can say:
1) It’s not just a silly little rumor.
2) It will break in some form shortly. The question is how prestigious an outlet breaks it. (PS, at best, it won’t be that prestigious, at least at first, but there’s a lot here so when someone finally touches, there is a good chance of an Edwards-like “Oh yeah, we were working on that too” pile-on.) Fire is being held as those who know the story try to get someone of import to break it; if they pass, it will be flooded out through secondary channels.
3) The story has a Fred Baron. Not The Fred Baron. But actually– an even better Fred Baron. The woman is “working” in the Caribbean drawing a salary from…. uhhh… let’s say from someone who is a big, shiny part of the dirty Chicago political machine. And it makes no sense that she’s doing her supposed “job,” for which she seems unqualified anyway, in the Caribbean, of all places. It’s unclear how she could possibly do this job at all, never mind from the Caribbean. And she’s been there for at least a year. (At least.) This isn’t some sabbatical or few months’ of “work” on an island paradise.
4) This woman was a major, big-time fundraiser. She raised x millions of dollars for various Democratic interests (connected to Obama) and then opened her own shop in DC. Since she was (as any fundraiser does) getting a cut of the take, this was a lucrative job. But she, for reasons unfathomable, suddenly shut the shop down and decamped to a little Caribbean island. And somewhere along the line got a “job” from her own Fred Baron. Which conveniently put her far away from Obama, Michelle, and the media.
5) Within hours of the Daily Mail article breaking, she called the Illinois hq of the Obama campaign. They wouldn’t talk to her.
Some people in Chicago claim she was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. FEC Senate campaign records show she was paid a pretty penny as “Finance Director”.
However, people familiar with Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign say Claire Serdiuk was Obama’s Finance Director. Looking through everything we can see online for that 2004 campaign, Claire Serdiuk is consistently listed as the Finance Director - because that’s what she was.
There’s no mention of Vera Baker…but Vera Baker was paid as the “Finance Director” too.
And then, suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to New York.
Right around the time Michelle Obama got incredibly angry about something. We know it was hard to tell, because Michelle’s angry about something on a good day…but this was EXTRA angry.
And then, even more suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to the island of Martinique, where she remains.
We hear it’s lovely there. They get lots of sunshine on Sundays. Paradise. A lovely place to read between the lines and ask lots of questions. All reporters should go there and feel inspired.
I agree with Andrew Sullivan: Full disclosure.
Let’s see this banished staffer’s work records, pay stubs, and travel schedules. With an eye to seeing how those travel schedules may match up with The One’s.
I’m a journalist. It’s my duty to demand these answers. And I’ll never stop.
Sweet Potato Pie? Just remember…this is only a rumor until the media get off their behinds and actually investigate this. I heard another rumor that they plan on doing that the day after hell freezes over. We are not claiming this rumor to be true, only offering certain facts that raise serious questions we believe any unbiased media has the obligation to investigate. If only an unbiased media existed. Remember how the media played catch-up with the blogs on the John Edwards affair? It will be fun to see them repeat their mistakes if this pans out.

Maybe the Enquirer will get on it?
Maybe — a “Rezko squeal”
You guys are hilarious. Are things really that desperate? Your getting your info from a British newspaper? Ok….
Obama knows what an affair would do to his hopes of being President. He’s not that dumb. And have you seen Michelle Obama? You really think he could pull a fast one on her? Try again.
In 3 weeks Obama will be elected President and then you can enjoy the next 8 years of a Democrat in the White House.
“this is only a rumor until the media get off thier behinds and actually investigate this.”
Unfortunately, all the media at the moment are busy going through the dumpsters in Wasilla, AK.
I’m no Obama fan, but you guys need to do a whole lot better than rumors if you think you can hang an actual bimbo eruption on the Obamessiah.
Did Hillary set this up for you??
Just like your wishes for an early Fitz-mas, I’ll believe this one when I see it…
This is what I could find out about Vera Baker. I have gathered it together into one website.
http://creativityage.typepad.com/vera_baker/
Please leave comments there if you know anything FACTUAL about this person. Please, no slander or defamation, toward ANY person.
“Don’t know why, don’t know why, don’t know why I can’t get enough o’ your love baby.”
I’ll howl if this is true. Maybe it’s part of the Rezko deal. I still say that there’s something going on with that $300K asking price reduction for Obama on his home. Either some mob friends made that seller an offer he couldn’t refuse, or some source other than Obama came up with that $300K. Somebody was returning a favor to Obama or making a down payment for a favor from Obama.
I have been told by a friend in Martinique that Vera Baker will be there for about nine months and maybe a little longer while new arangements are made for the two of them.
A note on the UK Mail on Sunday, they are in the tank for Bambam mostly.but there are still a few honest journos around.Look up Melanie Phillips.
Just checked Mail on Sunday website. The story seems to have got ‘lost’.
Melanie Philips with one ‘l’
Oh, no, he di’int! An’ neither did she! I know the NY Times done tried to scandalize McCain wit’ some woman on his jet, but don’ let dem do it to Sen. Obama! False charges like this (if they are false) do a disservice to public discource of real issues.
Plus, it’s awfully like a “hail Mary” political play. It probably won’t work, and ends up looking desperate. What you need is faith that things will work out, regardless of who the next president is.
McCain alluded to this, when he told his supporters that “you shouldn’t be scared of Sen. Obama.” Meanwhile, Sen. Obama is portraying Sen. McCain as “erratic.” OUCH!
Interesting post, but what will it take for the NY Times to “cover” this story as fully as they did the McCain “lovely lobbyist” story?…
It’ll never happen…
Just to help you all out a little bit if I may, The Daily Mail in the UK is one of the least trustworthy newspapers printed. It supports right wing conservatism and regularly publishes anti inmigration, anti islamic rubbish.
No one here would give any credance to anything printed in that paper. For educated, informative and truthfull reporting you should try the Guardian or even better, The Independant.
Someone, seriously, should get this woman some protection. Remember Mary Jo & Vince Foster.
Democrats have a way of dealing with problems.
Obama can always get big labor/the mob to “handle” the problem.
We Got You Now Obama! There is no way on earth you can when this Election with this information about this domestic terrorist.
Please send to all your friends that Obama has Domestic Terrorist WILLIAM AYERS showing up at his rallies.

Looks like more Roosters have come home to Roost__eh?
What goes around comes around__still looking for a good picture of Obama with egg on his face. Guess I’ll have to do one here shortly :O)
Keep up the Good Work!
Volubrjotr
“a person you don’t have to be scared of as president of the United States”
McCain said so, not me.
Incidentally, even the Mail says it’s a smear campaign by the reps. What do you think?
I don’t think so. Vera Baker may be a cutie, but she’s not Obama’s type.
Why have an affair with Vera if Obama is fully contented with his brusque and masculine bodyguards who are always around him when he needs them?
It’s really a matter of sexual preference.
Vera Baker? Hmmm, I thought he played for the other team…Larry Sinclair.
Doesnt sound right—when she asked him what he wanted his first reaction was to vote present–his second was to wait a while –gauge the reaction–and then act, an affair needs decisive action
the ACORN doesnt fall far from the tree
Is Vera Pregnant? WHy is she hiding in Martinique?
Ruh-Roh! Even with her face blurred out, she looks WAY prettier than Michelle!
Sweeeeeeet.
But, Michelle will “stand by her baby daddy”.
I always thought that BO was a bit light in his Bruno Maglis. Do y’think that harpy Michelle hatched these rumors to dispel his limp-wristed image?
…
This is really stupid for the republicans. McCain was the bggest cheater out there, it would just open up a can of worms. Plus no one gives a crap if Obama cheated on his wife. Thsi is the same story they pulled on Kerry in 2004 just changed the name.
Here is some facts already uncovered as truth:

Hey God Hates Religious People.
Are you retarded? Even your screen name makes you look like a fool. YOU are the one blinded by the color of Obama’s skin. America isn’t voting for him because he’s a Negro, it’s because he isn’t qualified… dip [edited]. Quit using white guilt to elect a president.
Now get off the public library computer, pick up your bottle of Irish Rose and head back to your govt. housing complex (ie: projects) and wait for your tax-funded welfare check. By the way… you’re welcome.
ps. cheating on your wife isn’t a petty issue. it means you are weak in character.
http://www.helpobamasbrotha.com
Check out the site to help Obama’s brother and St. Judes at the same time.
Sad if true.
Rumors would do much more to hurt McCain
especially false rumors…
I am voting for McCain because I am not a socialist and I don’t believe in spreading
the wealth around or paying taxes is patriotic. There are way too many people receiving government help than need it.
First off, define need.
I have 2 friends and 2 family members who
CHOOSE not to work. They draw everything
they can and all 4 are perfectly
capable of working - yet they don’t
want to. They prefer having babies,
sleeping in and doing what they want.
Americans are willing to help those who need
help but there are way to many people
with their hand out that have a
“want” and not a “need”.
Tax business over 250,000?
Think about it again.
When is the last time a poor person gave you a job?
About six months to a year ago there were rumors flying around that something would be released about Osama, I mean Obama, but it never materialized. This probably will not either.
Ok 1st off you are over looking the facts.
1. she runs cape caribbean, LLC
2.she has an office in Miami to #(305)910-0140
3.she raises campaign funds (legal or not)
4.she lists her self as National Finance Director of Obamas 2004 Sen, campaign.
5. she also list deputy political director at the Democratic Senatoral campaign committee.
6.Alta Capital Group and Baker-Wambus & associates.
7.Wambus was Deputy Political director for SEN. Josph R. Biden Jr. (what!!! and you wondered why Biden was selected)
wonder what Joe knows ????
Her web site for Cape Caribbean was pulled.
I smell funny fund raising going on…..
If you check out the Cape Caribbean website, it says Vera Baker previously worked with Alta Capital Group. In fact, she was managing director for municipal trading for that firm. Alta Capital Group, located in Chicago, was founded by Adela Cepeda, an old friend of Michelle Obama from the Leadership Greater Chicago program of 1993.

http://www.lgcchicago.org/fellows.aspx?class=1993
So BO has an alleged affair, and his alleged popsy is then made managing director at a municipal finance firm (an area she has no experience in) headed by a friend of BO’s wife?
This is hilarious. The Dems and their cronies in the media send hit squads of investigators to Alaska to look for rumors on Palin, and then follow up on them; yet, there are rumors about Obama and the media says peep.
ab
Are you kidding? This will make the libs love him even more. Can you say Gennifer Flowers? I’m surprised the MSM hasn’t plastered this on every channel available.
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?
(thank you Roger Waters and The Wall)
It may not be a landslide like some folks are predicting, but it looks like Obama is probably going to take the White House. As far as I’m concerned, McCain deserves it for selling-out his party. He was never really our candidate.
I’m taking the opportunity to vote for Bob Barr. I want to send a message to the Republican party that some of us still believe in tight borders, small government, and personal liberty. With any luck, they’ll run an actual conservative in 2012.
Who is Vera Baker and why did she go to Martinique? Is she the link to the Obama campaign and the fictitious donors found in the Obama finance records? Did she ever work with Tony Rezko helping Obama raise funds when he ran for his state offices. Did she and Rezko raise or move funds for his US Senate Run?!
These are all viable questions that need to be answered. Rezko starts singing to Fitzgerald and Sunday the Cape Caribbean web site vanishes into sunset as we started chatting about her on Free Republic with a lead from HillBuzz.
There are questions to be asked and answered. Why did her website disappear yesterday when the posters of Free Republic outed her web site and the possibility of her being tied to a credit card money factory for Obama in Martinique?
Was she Barack’s love interest or just a Fundraiser bundler of soft money? She has ties and history raising funds for Barack and for the Congressional Black Caucus.
Why did the DNC allow the campaign to move from DNC HQ in DC to Chicago where David Axlerod and his minions could hide and control the dirty games that possibly have taken place with illegal contributions from across the world like the $35,000 from the Edwan Brothers in Ga? No that’s not Georgia but Gaza Strip in the Middle East. But we all know that Barack is a friend of Israel and that the Brother’s got carried away in the moment of donating $35,000 to Obama.
I hope that somebody has the sense to check bank accounts, credit card records and transactions prior to the election as this really reeks of money laundering. The FEC and other Government agencies need to make this a top issue before the election.
Did some of this Laundered money go to ACORN. Can an audit of ACORN’s sources of funds be tracked to domestic and foreign bank accounts? We already know that Obama’s Campaign gave ACORN more then $800,000 for voter registration. Wanna bet it’s bigger dollars from offshore accounts?
So yes, this is a smoking gun! Does it involve Rezko ,Axlerod and Obama? I bet it does. Does the Main Street Media pick it up?! Probably not, as we are just bloggers and speculators of what occurred and don’t have any power to do much about it unless we spread the word to our friends and fellow bloggers on the net. Please make your voices heard on the net.
Maybe the recent news of Rezko visiting US Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s office, along with his lawyers is a good sign that something big might be happening and that Rezko is singing the tune.
(In 2005, the Obamas paid $1.65 million for their home near the University of Chicago. The sellers wanted a parcel they owned next door to sell on the same day, and Rezko’s wife, Rita, was the buyer. At the request of the Obamas, Mrs. Rezko later sold them a three-metre strip of land to enlarge their lot. They paid $104,500.
The deal took place while Rezko was under investigation and when details of the cozy relationship surfaced, Obama said it was a “bonehead” error to have asked for the additional land because it looked like he was getting a favor.
“I regret it,” Obama said at the time. “I’m going to make sure that from this point on I don’t even come close to the line.” )
.
Lets get serious for a moment.Which bedroom in the White House is going to be alocatted to Vera Baker and what will her official position be classed as? Looks like Obima will be lying down on the job from day one!
Heaven forbid he ever gets near the place. Isn’t that a God awful thought? Worse kinda nightmare one could have.
Just a thought? If Barry wins,will the White House become the Monkey House, fraid so!
If BHO wins, how soon can we impeach him?
Tom Tuckerson…
I’m a WASP, and you comments SICKEN even me! This is the reason why the right wing is losing traction. Attacking Obama’s character is more than enough to get your point across. Eeeeww…
Just another “non-denial denial”.
Did you see the photo of Obama licking the face of the blonde hottie in Ohio? You aint seen nothing yet. In the words of Joe Biden, he looks “clean” but he shares the soul of every other white-hating marxist that regularly sat in the pews of Rev. Wright’s church.
Get it straight, with the economy in the toilet here in Ohio-thanks to years of “conservative” rule-the only foolish ones who wouldn’t vote for Obama (affair or not!) are the illiterate bigots.
Respect the office of the presidency-it will soon be inhabited by the first African American
I do not care who he is screwing along as he doesn’t screw the country. And he sounds like he may just do that like that old tired leftist Jimmy Peanut farmer Carter. I would not get involve with any of Michele’s toys like her husband if I was this woman. Michele is one tuff cookie. Michele will whip her a**.
If this was true then it would have already came out. Think for one second about all the searching and digging that has been going on. The Republicans have been digging up anything and everything they can find about Obama. Every week it is something else. If this was real than it would have come out by now. Seems to me like this is just another smear tactic! If we are going to start throwing around accusations how about the notion that has been floated by some people that the McCain campaign has asked the Bush administration to use it resources at the justice department to investigate Obama and ACORN. Sounds like they are trying to use federal resources to try and get Obama on behalf of the McCain campaign. This is big time (go to prison) illegal.
We will find out like John Edwards had an affair. So It will all come out.
Realy and how would it be illegal to investigate illegal vote buying and tappering. And any connection that Sen. Obama may have to said ILLEGAL Activities.
I think this stuff with Vera Baker is not an affair. like I said before it has to do with the money trail her office in martinique gets it from counties like Kenya and funnels it to his campaign. Vera is a fund raiser not a pole raiser. shes just doing what shes done all along Raising Funds (legal or NOT)come on people he has set records of 800 million (George Bush only raised 200 million to smack John Kerry and that was a hard long fight) thats 600 million more than Bush. Hope thats going to be part of the wealth give away. And I cant wait for him to hit Opra with her Rich Tax see how much she loves him then 50% over $250,000 wow shes going to sh**. I think Bill Gates is planing that move to Mexico now…..
Who cares? They all cheat (including McCain).
Most the news outlets are in bed with Obama, they got to watch.
Oh geez, I can’t let this go with just a snide remark.
The economy is in the tank cause congress didn’t do it’s job. BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE WERE TO BUSY COUNTING THE MONEY THE PEOPLE WHO BENEFITTED FROM THE BAILOUT GAVE THEM!
Obama is just another politician; he ain’t going to change a thing. Until the voters figure out they are just trading one group of scoundrels for another group of scoundrels get used to it.
Will this ever get reported?
Consider this tale:
A Republican passing by a dark
alley witnesses Hussein Obuma
dropping an infant he’d just
strangled. Shocked, the Republican
realizes what he’d just seen
and knows he must have evidence.
He rushes out, breaks the window
of a nearby store, grabs
a camera from the display and
manages to take a photo of Obuma
and the victim.
Next mornig, all the
“objective” media, from CNN to NBC,
report on their front pages:
“REPUBLICAN ROBS CAMERA
STORE!”
MJ wrote: “You guys are hilarious. Are things really that desperate? Your getting your info from a British newspaper? Ok….”
Ah, no MJ, we are all in a desperate situation, when we have to get information about American politicians from a foreign newspaper. Obama’s multi-culti vision has already taken hold in America’s “news”rooms. We’re rapidly approaching Third World standards. Vote fraud funded by the candidate. Investigation and intimidation of voters who dare ask the One a question, where he bungles the answer by telling the truth. News suppression, news disinformation, news intimidation by the powerful politician and his political party.
Yes, MJ, we are desperate. You just need to realize, that you’re in a desperate situation yourself. Open Your Eyes.
Barack Hussein Obama is an emissary of the Devil.
Rumor and enuendo, you neocons are shameless. Mccain cheated on his cripled wife to pursue Cindy Mccain so that he further his political career that’s a fact and has been a part of the public record for many years now so even if your lies were true and there not who’s the bigger jerk. You guys are upset because the people are rejecting your racist, socialism for the rich capitalism for the poor gutter political agenda….
Could not care a less if he sleeps with 50 women. After all he has ACORN to cover for him, and the MARXIST docturn of the Rev. Wright that will soon be the new law of the land when Obama is placed in office. and the teachings of a terrorist now professor Bill Ayers, will be in all schools K-Doc and Hillary will be a supreme court judge can’t you just see how she and Bill have jumped on the wagon. she was promissed something for her help. and to give up the 2012 run.I’m now clinging to my God and Guns with those in P.A. that where called Rednecks cause they love God. It doesn’t take a public organizer to make America work it just takes AMERICANS to do the RIGHT thing and stand up for what this country was founded for VOTE for John McCain if for only one reason You love this country and what it stands for. Or when you awake it will be to late and we will be Conrades in the USSA. WOW never thought I would see the Day GOD Bless Ronald Reagan and pray for us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barack Hussein Obama and his angry wife are the most dangerous people to ever attempt a White House takeover.
Even is you are not crazy about John McCain you must vote against the socialization of America.
Thank You.
This is non news, We all know this a way of life with the muslims, Barry is just working on his seven virgins early, his Christmas list so to speak, and we thought slick Willie had the corner on infidelity, slicker osama has him beat, oh and did you see the woman on Youtube , after his rally, she proclamed, “this is the most exciting moment of my life, i wont have to worry about buying gas, or making my house payment, Obama is going to take care of me” ROTFLMAO, another porchmonkey heard from,
and this is our future!!
The election has happened, and Obama is going to be the 44th president of the United States. Given the evidence mounting in this pr dilemma, it’s pretty obvious Obama’s a playboy. As is McCain. The two would not bring it up against each other because the scrutiny would reveal the all too human component that can cost you the faith of the American people. And oh, how important that faith is. Especially in a time of a series of serious national crises. So, you will understand why there are some who will be deflected in their attempts to make this public. The real problem resides in the fact that right now, people would prefer a skillful president than a perfect human being, and while Obama and Michelle have their human foibles, so do we. Every one of us. If you don’t think you have any, then you’re the worst kind of person, because you missed the whole point of your religion. If you’re an aethiest, then more power to you. At least you understand why you’re saying what you’re saying. So let’s focus on fixing the problems so that we can afford the luxury of going back to pay attention to the problems at hand. Remember that in the Christian history there have been heavily alcoholic popes and saints who cut out the hearts of children. The world has been wores off than it is today. So, again, let’s get past this for now, let them have their own troubles, and get to solving the problems of the real world.
