National Enquirer Site Up Big on Obama Cheating Scandal

By Shane Craver on May 3, 2010

The National Enquirer’s website has increased its traffic by 1890% as a result of its latest story of a sex scandal involving President Barack Obama and his alleged mistress, Vera Baker.

The traffic boost, as tracked by Alexa.com, makes the National Enquirer one of the movers and shakers on the web in recent days.

The mainstream media has failed to cover the allegations that President Obama had an affair with Vera Baker, the 35 year-old former campaign aide, which is not uncommon from a historical perspective.

When the story of Monica Lewinsky broke in 1998, it was Matt Drudge’s, DrudgeReport.com that was responsible for the first revelations. The mainstream media failed to quickly report on the story and Newsweek even attempting to bury the story. Nine days after Matt Drudge’s breaking news, President Clinton issued a forceful denial which turned out to be a lie.

The National Enquirer was also responsible for breaking the story of former Democratic Vice-Presidential Nominee John Edward’s affair with Rielle Hunter. Once again, the mainstream media failed to report on the story for some time.

The supermarket tabloid, which is known for UFO stories and other outlandish topics, can from time-to-time get the story right.

The Enquirer broke the story of Sarah Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy during the 2008 presidential campaign. It also uncovered the story of Rev. Jesse Jackson’s illegitimate child.

While the National Enquirer has had it successes, it has also been sued on numerous occasions for getting the story wrong.

The latest bombshell revelation regarding President Obama and Vera Baker has not yet resonated with the mainstream media, however, if the Enquirer is able to get its hands on reported footage from a hotel surveillance video that could change quickly.

In the meantime, the tabloid’s web site is enjoying what could very well be record traffic.

Sorry, but last I checked, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, David Vitter and Rudy Giuliani were all Republicans...and all of these scandals were just in the last 3-4 years!

@ Dee

No reason to be sorry, your right, the left wing and the right wing have both had their share of infidelity scandals. Using the last few years as a boundary, Patterson, Spitzer, Edwards, Mahoney, and Gavin are a few more you can add to your list just off the top of my head.

But the question is, when is the last time a Republican who held the office of the President of the United States got caught up in a sex scandal?

There could be a thousand reason why this happens to Dems, but I think it just comes down to the media not doing the level of investigation on the Dem candidates that they do with the GOP.

Seriously folks, when you have the Enquirer breaking these stories ahead of the NY times, we have serious issues with the press.

I'm a right-winger as you can probably see, but I truly hope these allegations are false.
This kind of crap is the last thing the U.S. needs right now.

Dee, good point. If this story is true about Obama, I don't think anyone can blame him anyway. If I were married to Michelle Obama, I would give serious consideration to sleeping with a non-horsefaced woman from time to time. I didn't blame Bill Clinton either but question his taste in engaging in an affair with Lewinsky.

My goodness who cares about this crap.

The guy is nationalizing huge sections of the private economy, ordering executions of US citizens without trial, escalating two unconstitutional wars, murdering hundreds of innocent people in Pakistan and provoking anti-US sentiment there, is entirely economically illiterate, doesn't even understand why a profit motive leads to lower prices in a market economy, is enabling big businesses to discourage competition with over-regulation, believes the Keynesian spend your way to prosperity nonsense (how can any adult even say this without laughing?), etc. I could go on and on. The guy even makes GW Bush look like a genius, which I previously thought was impossible.

As far as I'm concerned the guy can turn the White House into a brothel and have group sex all day everyday so long as he simply follows the rules (the Constitution) and stays the hell out of my life.

It's pathetic that this even makes the news.

I read this sentence and wondered, "Which is 'not uncommon,' the MSM not covering a story detrimental to Obama or a politician having an affair with a campaign aide? And why "from a historical perspective?" This history of the MSM or the history or Obama or the history of politicians and campaign aides? Thank you for a good laugh.
