Jeri Ryan -- The Real Obama Girl
Posted Feb 15th 2008 1:50PM by TMZ Staff
If Barack Obama ends up winning the White House, the first person he should probably thank on Election Night is ... Jeri Ryan. Like, "Star Trek's" Seven of Nine Jeri Ryan? Yup.
Let's explain.
Back in 2004, when Obama was a small-time State Senator from Illinois and running for a U.S. Senate seat, his GOP opponent was Jack Ryan, a super-wealthy businessman who was actually favored in the contest -- and who had gone through a messy divorce from ... Jeri Ryan.
The divorce was a slapfight of Hasselhoffian proportions, and Jeri's allegations that Jack had forced her to go to sex clubs in New York and Paris -- and wanted her to have sex with him in the clubs -- completely ruined Jack's campaign ... and Obama went on to win the seat. And now, perhaps, the one in the Oval Office.

Jack Ryan was railroaded by the State party and by the Chicago Tribune.
Jeri made statements in custody proceedings for the children which are normally sealed.
The Tribune found a friendly California judge and got them unsealed.
People make statements in divorce proceedings in order to win a better settlement.
What is most interesting is that after the unsealing Jeri was asked on numerous occasions by the press to confirm her statements supposedly in camera.
Not once did she repeat her allegations in public to the media.
We lost a good man.
