President Barack Obama is dealing with another headache and if the allegations are true, it is, indeed, a shocking one. An explosive video has emerged allegedly showing Ashley Biden, the 27 year-old daughter of Vice President Joe Biden, snorting cocaine at a Delaware house party. The video is being peddled for $250,000 by the seller, a friend of Ashley's. Yes, a modern-day Judas Iscariot.

The tape, viewed by several news agencies, allegedly shows a man cutting up five lines of what appear to be cocaine. Moments later, a woman - identified by the person selling the tape as Ashley Biden - jokes that the lines aren't large enough, RadarOnline.com reported.

The unidentified man then hands over a rolled-up dollar bill, and the young woman with brown hair strolls to the table where the white powder was cut, pulls back her hair, reaches down and snorts a line, according to reports. After she snorts the first line, the woman lifts her head and wipes her nose, then snorts a second and third line of powder.

The video, which may have been shot without the woman's knowledge, was recorded at a raucous house party in Wilmington, according to the gossip Web site, and the man in the video is said to be Ashley Biden's boyfriend. Source: NY Daily News

I won't trash Ms. Biden because these are just allegations and people will do anything to smear members of prominent families. We have to wait to see if the tape is authentic and not doctored. All I know is, trust is out in Washington D.C. People will do anything for money, even if it means blackmailing a friend. I'll reserve judgment until the validity of the tape is established. Ashley Biden is the youngest of the veep's three children. She is the only one born to the vice president and his second wife, Jill. For the record, Joe and Jill Biden can't be held responsible for their adult children's actions. Wait, didn't President George W. Bush have a few embarrassing moments courtesy of his twins and what about Jimmy Carter's daughter Amy? Come on folks, let sleeping dogs lie. President Obama's approval ratings are still high. This won't impact him one bit. The lawyer shopping this video has backed out. Hmmmm. I wonder why?
