Republican United States Senate candidate Jack Ryan's ex-wife, Star Trek 'Borg' Jeri Ryan, alleges he brought her to sex clubs in New York as well as Paris, where he attempted to force her into having sex with him in front of assembled strangers in the clubs, as recorded in records released Monday from the pair's California divorcement file.

The Republican Senate nominee Jack Ryan said the allegations were false when they were made public in 2000, when the couple was involved in a bitter child custody fight a year after the divorce with Jeri Ryan.  

A writer forThe Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, Christian Schneide has an entertaining  post, called  “The Woman Who Changed the World,” about the role TV actress Jeri Ryan was engaged in, by way of establishing Barack Obama’s national political notoriety. 

It is true that Senator  Obama deserves all the recognition  for the way he has percolated  Democratic crowds all over the country - leading to his trouncing of Hillary   in Iowa. Also  he may have crushed  Jack Ryan by his own power.

However  it’s fascinating to think that the leud  testimony of a woman mis-treated  could one day so dramatically alter the political course of the world in which we dwell. Without it, would Barack Obama  still be on the course he is? 

Jeri Ryan ?

You might name  her 'the original Obama Girl.'

Christian Schneider    has an amusing post, entitled “The Woman Who Changed the World,” about the role actress Jeri Ryan played in launching Barack Obama’s national political career.

Certainly, Obama deserves all the credit for the way he has excited Democratic crowds around the country - leading to his rout of Hillary Clinton in Iowa. And he may have beaten Jack Ryan on his own. But it’s fascinating to think that the salacious testimony of a woman scorned could one day fundamentally alter the path of the world in which we live. Without it, Barack Obama could still be sitting in the Illinois statehouse, planning his next political move.

You might call her the original Obama Girl.
