Rumor.  Rumor.  Rumor.  Or is it?

It was two weeks before the DNC convention in August that allegations initially surfaced. A personal friendship, between Senator Barack Obama, and a woman named Vera Baker working for Obama as a “Finance Director” for his 2004 campaign for U.S. Senate, however have resurfaced.  Although another woman was listed and paid as a finance director during this time, this young woman was also.  A sudden relocation to New York occurred.  Michelle Obama seemed unusually more angry during that timeframe.  “And then, even more suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to the island of Martinique, where she remains.” according to Hillbuzz.

Jammie Wearing Fool and Ace of Spades HQ notes the following.

…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.

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.

Within hours of the Daily Mail article breaking, she called the Illinois hq of the Obama campaign. They wouldn’t talk to her.

Incidentally, didn’t Obama vacation in the Caribbean after he won the primaries…? Oh that’s right, he did. I raised this with my source who, alas, hadn’t even made that connection.

The Daily Mail notes the following.

‘They said she was removed from her position and the political scene because Michelle got wind of the fact that she had a close friendship with her husband,’ the source said. ‘She disappeared, then she reappeared in the Caribbean.’

The Mail on Sunday located the woman in the Caribbean, where she now works. She denied that Mrs Obama had raised any objections to her job on the 2004 campaign.

‘No,’ she said. ‘Nothing happened. I just left … at the end of the campaign.’

Asked about the claim that Mrs Obama accused her of having a close friendship with the Senator, she said: ‘I have no comment on anything.

‘I switched careers. That’s it. I’m a Democrat and I support Senator Obama … I don’t have anything to say.’

She added that she emigrated to the Caribbean from the US after falling in love with the man with whom she now lives.

Senator Obama’s team did not respond to our request for comment.

But one day after we contacted Obama’s team, a London law firm informed The Mail on Sunday that it had been retained by the woman to help her to counter the whispering campaign, which they said was ‘absolutely false’.

No Quarter is holding out for a little more information to see if it is worthy of substantiated presidential race talk.

Thanks to Gateway Pundit for bringing it all together.
