OK, it's the National Enquirer, so you can assume that it's all made up, but I'm sure that's what John Edwards and Tiger Woods people said too...
Here's Vera Baker, the supposed mistress...
The Globe is reporting a similar story...
Update: The Enquirer appears to be backing off the claim that a security camera video exists. The story hasn't changed much, but previously it made it seem like a tape existed. Now they've changed it to "searching for a tape."

I can't say that I would be shocked. Obama exhibits all the same characteristics of those that get caught. He believes that he is a superior human being that deserves anything he wants and the complicit media will cover for him. However, now that I think about it, we should all get ready for the media blitz telling us how George W Bush had multiple affairs and how if Obama gets some strange outside the White House it is nobodies business but his own.

I wouldn't doubt a complete narcissist like Obama would try such a thing, but I do find it hard to believe his handlers would give him enough slack on his leash to pull it off.
I can't see that cadre of dedicated doctrinaire leftists giving him the chance to mess up their march to cut AmeriKKKa down to size, especially with the limited time their big congressional majorities have left.

It's save to predict the end of the NI starting in 3...2...1..
Why? They're messing with an "in your face" Chicago trained messiah and even worse -no one who supports him cares.
Being unfaithful to the people you claim to love, is a badge of honor with the left.
Think back to roaming Bill..."it's just sex!" and after being caught lying under oath by a blue dress,we heard; "yes he's a liar, but Bill is our liar."
NI, however, is showing the kind of courage that if the GOP had shown, we wouldn't be saddled with this man who believes America is little more than a giant Tinkertoy to be dismantled and reassembled at his every desire.

Um... Kevin? The Enquirer does have a history of getting the "big" stories that the mainstream media can't bring itself to touch, and getting them right.
Unfortunately, you posted a pic from the Globe, which... not so much.

It's too early to say the story is true, but NI has had a lot of success in uncovering big stories. If National Inquirer produces solid proof of BHO's cheating to back up its story, will the Pulitzer committee finally take its reporting seriously? It's work on the Edwards-Hunter affair was spot on when everyone in the state-controlled media was simply ignoring the story about the former VP nominee and would be presidential contender.

Well before the whole Edwards thing, I would probably say it was complete BS, but not so much now.
I just struggle to think Obama would be that stupid.
If it is true, Obama would fall far-the narrative on his story is that he is a super awesome and loving family guy who takes his wife out on dates still.

First up, I take back my earlier comment. The Enquirer is on the story.
Now I hate to say it, but Adrian has a good point. The Enquirer got it right on Edwards, but wrong on Palin. So their record isn't perfect.
So, what's the solution? Why, more investigation, of course. More digging. More questions.
Isn't that what you want, Adrian? The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

This is pretty cool. Taking a page out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, the Inquirer makes an accusation requiring Barry to prove a negative. Kinda like Barrys people making all those racist charges.
"You're a racist." "No I'm not." "OK Prove it"
"You're a philanderer". No I'm not". "OK Prove it".

I can see it happening. He gives a speech at the DNC lauded by liberals far and wide. His ego begins to grow exponentially. People begin to take notice. Women who are attracted to power would flock to him. He'd have his pick. He hasn't yet begun to think about the Presidency, so what's a little fling by a Senator? He probably though, "Hell, if Barney Frank's political career can survive, why wouldn't mine?"

For those who adore The One this will not change their minds one iota. it isn't pertinent to his ability to be President.
For those who loathe him it only confirms their opinion of him as an arrogant jerk who believes that the rules apply to everyone but him.
So what if it's true. It can't make my opinion of him as a President any worse. It can only slightly degrade my opinion of him as a man. Really, it just confirms my opinion of him for the most part.
