German escort describes steamy night with Barack Obama

Stürmische Hitze says she and the then-presidential candidate met at the G-8 Summit

(Washington, March 28, 2010) — A week before the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama’s personal attorney paid a professional escort, Stürmische Hitze, whose given name is Siggi Bruss, to keep quiet about her alleged sexual relationship with the Democratic presidential candidate at the 33rd G-8 Summit in June of 2007 in Heilgendamnn, Germany. Today, that arrangement is well on its way to becoming the most talked-about “hush agreement” in history, with potential legal and political implications for the president. Through his spokesman, Mr. Obama has denied having an affair with Ms. Bruss, who now owns her own escort service, or knowing anything about a payoff. His lawyers are now threatening her with financial ruin, saying she has to pay $1 million dollars (1,570, 724 DEM) every time she violates her agreement to stay silent.

(Presidential lawyer Robert F. Bauer has admitted to paying Ms. Bruss $130 thousand in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement, from his own account, adding, “The president knew nothing about it and it’s something I do for all my clients. But the president is innocent.”)

Mr. Obama, according to Ms. Bruss — pictured above in the purple dress — approached her at the Summit (French President Sarkozy is also shown) in June of 2007, who then told her she was just the kind of girl he could use in his administration before inviting her back to his room at the Kempinski Grand Hotel after a G-8 meeting on greenhouse emissions. The two had sex, she alleges, which she describes as “consensual and fine.” Ms. Bruss also said that early in the evening, at his request, Obama asked her to spank him with an issue of TIME that he had brought with him from America.

Ms. Bruss, who last night appeared on the The Sean Hannity Show on FNC, said she was subsequently threatened by Obama’s “men” after the election.

“Was it [Rahm] Emanuel,” asked Hannity, “the president’s chief of staff?”

“My attorney has recommended that I don’t discuss those things.”

“I’ll take that as a Yes,” said Hannity.

After the show aired, Mr. Hannity released the following statement:

People who know me know that when it comes to character and protocol, I take a back seat to nobody. I wouldn’t care if a GOP president did what was alleged. I would immediately call on him to resign and perhaps face criminal charges.

GOP leaders, including former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, in fact, called on the president to resign because, according to the former speaker, “The presidency is all about character. I don’t know if the allegations are true — I’m sure they are. I believe this girl — but it’s a cloud over this president and this administration. As a historian, I find his behavior abysmal. Elected officials have to be held to the highest standards.”

Santorum, too, echoed those statements, adding, “What am I supposed to tell my children about a man like this, this president, who can’t control himself? I fear for our country. I know Michelle Obama, like her and her daughters very much, and this is just embarrassing. I believe children are our future. For a man, any man, but especially a president to behave like this is just … just …” before shaking his head and walking away.

The president’s supporters, meanwhile, especially in the evangelical community, quick came to his defense.

“All this happened years ago,” Reverend Al Sharpton said, “and I’m willing to give the president what you white people call a mulligan.”

Bishop T.D. Jakes, a long time supporter of the president, said, “Obama is a work in progress but is defending Christians from secularists.”

While the president didn’t address the latest allegations, either the infidelity charges or whether Bauer’s payment could be construed as hush money, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, “Look, the president has denied this and I don’t have anything else to add. I haven’t spoke with him about that specifically. I suggest you direct all further questions to outside council.”
