I said if it's true and John Edwards also denied his affair.

So you are insiting Obama needs to come forward on an issue no one even has proof of yet?
UPDATE (2:04 PM): The Enquirer has updated their story to exclude the part about the hotel surveillance tape, so it seems this story is unraveling rather quickly. The latest from the paper is that “An Enquirer reporter has confirmed the limo driver’s account of the secret 2004 rendezvous.” This clarifies that they are trying to uncover a 6-year-old maybe-affair, and that, rather than having footage, they just have one first-hand account of someone driving Baker to a hotel, where the President may or may not have been. This also shifts the weight of the article from the story of the affair itself to the fact that, apparently, someone out there is “offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair.” Why? If it indeed happened six years ago, and no one brought it up during Obama’s presidential campaign, what use is it now, halfway into his first term? The obvious go-to answer is that this could energize the far-right in time for the 2010 elections, but once it is revealed who perpetuated the rumors, true or not, about a story so aged, the tactic could easily backfire.
