Just who in the hell is Vera Baker, and what was her relationship with the Messiah from Hyde Park?
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.

Rumors are a fact of life, and candidates need to deal with them. _____
Speaking of rumors or whatever, Bristol Palin's fiance, Levi Johnston, describes how it feels to be in the public eye.
As expected, the Huffington Post continues to smear Sarah Palin by trying to claim SHE is the one exploiting her daughter, when in fact it was the "left" blogosphere which posted trash about the two of them to begin with.
Now that fanatics or paid operatives already spread the filth about Sarah Palin and her daughter so that the story is out there regardless of the truth, Barack Obama condemns it and vows to fire any staffer who spreads the rumor.
Obama denies his campaign had anything to do with the filth.
He reminds us he was the son of a teenage mother (and a married father).
I have heard this rumor going around the internet about her baby not being hers but her daughter's instead.
This is an interesting take from the people who made the video podcast of her urban hike. However, the video podcast of her walk doesn't disprove her pregnancy at all. The baby was born premature, after all.
The only problem with this is Down syndrome is very rare among younger women, especially those in their teens, while it is or was common among women Palin's age, at least before amniocentesis and abortion of DS fetuses. Just because a teen has a "bump," like yours truly has had one all her life, that doesn't mean there's a pregnancy.
That's the problem with this rumor.
If the rumor is true, it could hurt her and even force her out of the slot, but on the other hand it could create a lot of sympathy. After all, whose business is it about a private family affair? Bristol is only 16 years old and could hardly stand the media scrutiny.
This video appears to give the lie to the rumors. Governor Palin appears very pregnant here at a March meeting. I doubt very seriously she was running around with a pillow under her clothing:
People should be ashamed of themselves for peddling this crap. It is similar to the speculation that was surrounding John and Elizabeth Edwards' two youngest children. It is disgusting. I am now anxiously awaiting Larry Sinclair to be interviewed by Larry King.
Update: Somebody has been vandalizing her bio over at Wikipedia, and no edits are allowed there for the time being. Her article was neutral until the idiots decided to put "babygate" on the site.
