The Obama cheating scandal with Vera Baker likely a very bad hoax

“President Obama has been caught in a shocking cheating scandal!”

That is what a number of headlines are reading anyway. Sensationalism works, and right now nothing could be more sensational than a charge of President Obama being engaged in a little extramarital activity. The problem is knowing whether or not it is true. Before going any further, it has to be clearly known that this is all speculation at this point. There is not satisfactory evidence to say Obama has done what the tabloids are reporting.

According to unverified reports, president Obama was caught in a Washington D.C. hotel with a former campaign aide, 35 year old Vera Baker. According to known records Obama has been acquainted with Ms. Baker since around 2004 when she worked on his senatorial campaign. Baker was primarily known as a fundraiser who brought millions into the Obama campaign coffers over the years.

Baker has denied anything inappropriate has happened at this time or in the past. There are others who disagree with that, although what they report must be looked at critically and will take quite some time to verify if it can be verified at all. Among those whom are corroborating the Obama/Baker infidelity scandal are a bit of a rogues gallery.

A limo driver who can confirm he ferried Baker to the Hotel George from a “friend’s home” said he learned from a friend Obama was staying there. He took that piece of “evidence”, coupled it with baker not being registered there, her working relationship with Obama, and some gut instinct to arrive at this conclusion. That hardly seems definitive in any manner, but that begins the story.

He later stated - on the condition of anonymity of course - that he picked up Baker and Obama at about 10:30 pm and they entered the hotel together. He states she showed no indication of leaving the hotel that night and he didn’t wait around because his job was done. No hotel tapes showing any evidence of this can be located.

What has to be considered about all of this is the story first ran in the National Enquirer. The National Enquirer offered $1 million to anyone that had evidence of the president involved in an extramarital affair. They claim to have a tape that proves it, but no one outside of those who supposedly have it have had the opportunity to view it.

Now consider this all supposedly happened in 2004, and one would have to wonder why a security tape of a basically unknown at the time political figure
