Obama Friend Arrested on Suspicion of Soliciting Prostitute

HONOLULU -- One of President Barack Obama's close friends has been arrested in Honolulu on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute. Robert "Bobby" Titcomb was one of four men arrested in an undercover sting operation late Monday and later released on $500 bail, according to Honolulu police.

Titcomb, 49, attended Punahou School in Honolulu with Obama in the 1970s. The president graduated in 1979, a year before Titcomb. The two often golf, play basketball, go to the beach and dine together when the president returns home to Hawaii for vacation.

Obama's family has also attended barbeques at Titcomb's beachside home in Waialua, located on Oahu's North Shore about an hour outside of downtown Honolulu.

OK, OK. There's the name we can make fun of. But more important is the chronically unsavory nature of the Present's close friends and associates. No schoolboy giggling there, you in the back.

If the chest is hairy enough to need a titcomb, it must be male.

There are a lot of shemale hookers in Hawaii.

Yeah... nothing said in article about the nature of the prostitution. Not that I would have particularly wanted to be the undercover detective had this been gay prostitution.

So how old was the prostitute the undercover officer was pretending to be?

As far as I knew, most 'internet stings' of this type were aimed at capturing pedophiles. If this particular operation was aimed at 'johns' seeking 'regular' prostitutes then it is the first of its type I have heard about.

I actually see this as a plus for Obama.

Finally there's news about someone who knew him when he was a kid in Hawaii.

The fact it's the same question being asked all day long tells me that it was an alternative flavor of the day.

IMHO this is part of something bigger. I think we are about to see life getting a little more challenging for Obama's monkeys. Something that may bring out plea bargaining material.

There should be a mugshot that’s available to the public.

According to Obama’s bio, his friend is employed as a flight attendant. Pretty high living for a flight attendant. http://archives.starbulletin.com/2004/03/21/news/story4.html

More interesting stuff. I particularly like the part where he calls Obama a chameleon, who makes stories up as he sees fit.

Probably not, since he/she was really an undercover officer.
