Obama cheated with former campaign worker?
May 1st, 2010 by Scott Marks
While we are world class gossip whores, EC does not normally cover politics…except when it gets its information hot off the presses of The National Enquirer. Stories about Sydney Pollack and John Edwards that originated in the Enquirer brought this site many a hit. People don’t generally believe the Enquirer to be a legitimate source news and information. I do. Name the number of times the paper has been successfully sued. (Carol Burnett comes to mind.) Given my successul track record a claim had to be staked instantly upon learning that the tabloid of record is reporting a rumored affair between President Obama and former campaign worker Vera Baker.
The Enquirer states that Obama met Vera Baker in 2004 when she was out raising funds to get him elected to the Senate. The affair took place later that year at an undisclosed D.C. hotel. When confronted with the rumor in the past Ms. Baker told reporters that nothing went on between them. The paper is now claiming “top anti-Obama operatives are offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair.”
Two people could wind up splitting the million dollar prize money. If I were the hotel dick I’d be working overtime scouring surveilliance tapes. The Enquiring is banking on a limo driver who says “in 2004 that he took Vera to a secret hotel rendezvous in a Washington hotel where Obama was staying.”
There are so many reasons I pray that this story if false. I don’t want three years of republican loudmouth “I Told You So’s!“ beating this story into the ground. Nor am I’m in favor of infidelity particularly when it comes from someone who fancies himself a role model. I’ve always been a firm believer if they’ll do it to their wife and kids they’ll do it to the country.
Will Vera Baker turn out to be Barack Obama’s Monica Lewinsky or worse, Gayle King Bumpus? If so he’ll join a long legacy of Commander in Cheats. Below are nine chief executives and their paramours. Match the floozy with her (or his) presidential conquest.

John Edwards admits to affair, but denies the bastard is his
June 19th, 2009 by Scott Marks
After doing his best to moonwalk away from the press, John Edwards has finally admitted to what the National Enquirer has known all along: the former presidential candidate did have an affair. Rielle Hunter says that Edwards is the one, but he swears that Francis Quinn Hunter is not his son…er, daughter.
Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Hunter (while his wife battled cancer) but said that he didn’t love her. Nice guy!
John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter
Certain that he isn’t the father, Edwards has yet to take a paternity test. He swears that it couldn’t be him because of the timing of the affair and the birth. This from the same man who told reportes in October 2007 that, “The story is false. it’s completely untrue, ridiculous.”
According to the Associated Press, “Edwards acknowledged the affair on Friday afternoon, traditionally a slow-news period even when the Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies are not preoccupying millions of Americans.”
Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards’ future aspirations in public service, David Bonior, Edwards’ campaign manager for his 2008 presidential bid, said: “You can’t lie in politics and expect to have people’s confidence.”
Since when? It sure worked wonders for Bill Clinton.
