I dont really think that a news source would make such an observation, do you?

Nice that you admit it's a fact, though!

wow, talk about a stretch.. that thing isn't even a woman and I love women of color too, so don't even go down the typical "you're a racist" path.. no real man would ever see anything in something as ugly as michelle. The only good thing about her is the name, but that's only because I will always have a special place for a Michelle I used to know. She was definitely all woman, though.

National Enquirer - RationalWiki
rationalwiki is like 10 steps under that other famous wiki when it comes to crap "sources". Also dismissed forever.

Let's see, I believe the Enquirer was first break the news on:

Bill Clinton affair with Monica Lewinsky
John Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter
John Edwards was father of love child
Tiger Woods' mega-multiple mistresses

And now ... Obama's affair with Vera Baker

Is the rumor true? Probably! Almost certainly it's true. I do not think [even] the Enquirer would claim such news about the President of the United States unless it is true.

I strongly suspect the Enquirer already has enough information to cause Obama hellish problems if he denies the affair. I'll bet the Enquirer hopes Obama will deny the affair - then the Enquirer story will explode with all sorts of information to backup their claim ... including from Vera Baker herself. POW!

Keep up the pressure Enquirer!

Could it be that he will sell more papers for them as a sitting President as opposed to a one trick pony if they were to prove he was a Kenyan? (Assuming that if Kenyan he would be ousted.)

Don't forget - this news is coming from the same source (The National Enquirer) that PROVED TO BE ACCURATE about the scandals of John Edwards and Tiger Woods ... among many others. Will Obama try to shield the truth, or even shut-down The Enquirer? He's been successful at closing-down numerous websites!

Think the scandal is true?
Yeah and remember when they said GW and Laura were in the middle of a bitter split? They really nailed that one. Watch out Barack the Enquirer is coming for ya. LOL.

Well I suppose it depends. Is it a fling, a one-night stand, a urge to simply satisfy a sexual urge, or is it the result of the changing nature of relationships over time? I rather choose not to judge.

After intimate exposure to both rich and powerful persons, I learned long ago to forego putting folks on pedestals and instead only valuing the work that they do for which work is expected.

I tend to think that I live in the real world.

I also live in a real world. In my world, MEN do not not cheat on thier wives and are good for thier word. Little boys who do not understand thier postion of repsonsibility to thier spouses and their family quite often neglect and ignore thier responsibility. A little boy is "leading" the country and is more concerned with satisfying his personal sexual desires than setting a behavior example for the nation and tending to the buisness of the people, not having sex with the people.

Anyone who engages in such behavior should not be entrusted with the sacred trust of public service when they cannot be faithful to thier own family. It is not hard- it is just what real responsible men do, not little boys.

I do not want a narcissist who values his personal "needs" above those of his family and his country trying to "lead" the country. That is the type of personality that needs to take a back seat and perhaps learn a little bit more about respect for one's spouse and human decency before taking on the job of "leading" the country. Do you consider such attributes to be favorable for leading ANYTHING, let alone the office of The POTUS?

The very terrible part of this, (if it is true and it probably is) Obama will get a pass but Tiger Woods was crucified.
All we heard about was Tiger Woods this and Tiger Woods that but I BETCHA we won't hear anything but excuses if it is proven to be true about Obama.
I really think thats why so many people can't stand him.
He can do no wrong and it is getting pretty sickening.
Everybody is crucified but him.

huge difference between tiger and obama. tiger had sex with more than a dozen women and admitted to it. obama's affair is rumored and only one. if proven to be true you can well believe many people that now support him would no longer.
