Barack Obama now faces a new challenge - one that is sure to be much more scandalous than anything he's seen so far. If the allegations are to be believed, it's also a scandal that his campaign has tried to cover up. A Minnesota man has come forth, claiming that he took cocaine in 1999 with Obama, the then-Illinois legislator, and participated in homosexual acts with him.
Larry Sinclair, the man making the claims, said his story was ignored by the news media. Still not willing to let this one slip quietly under the rug, Sinclair made a YouTube video in which he made his case. It's had over half a million views already, but the story has still been largely ignored by the news media.
Sinclair's next step was to file a suit in Minnesota District Court, in which he alleges threats and intimidation by the Democratic presidential candidate's staff.
Still out to prove that he is telling the truth, Sinclair said he is willing to submit to a polygraph test. A website (WhiteHouse.com) has come forth offering him $10,000 for the right to record the polygraph test, and another $100,000 if he passes it.
Sinclair lives in Duluth, Minnesota, and in his filing, charges that his civil rights have been violated by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. Obama, David Axelrod of AKP Message & Media in Chicago, and the Democratic National Committee have been named as defendants in the case.
Sinclair, who describes himself as gay, claims they met in an upscale Chicago lounge. They left in Sinclair's limo, where the drug use and sex allegedly took place for the first time. Sinclair says that Obama smoked crack cocaine, and that he snorted powder cocaine provided by Obama.
Sinclair, 46, says that he no longer uses drugs. He claims to be physically disabled, but says that he was not physically impaired in 1999 when they met.
Regarding the claims, Sinclair said:
"My motivation for making this public is my desire for a presidential candidate to be honest. I didn't want the sex thing to come out. But I think it is important for the candidate to be honest about his drug use as late as 1999."
The debate is tomorrow night.
If Hillary is stupid enough to bring this up she will (and should)lose Ohio and Texas by 20+ points.
This is garbage.
“where the drug use and sex allegedly took place for the first time. huh?!?”
yeah, the guy claims obama went to his hotel room the next day to get a “quicky”. LOL
Wonder how much this little stunt cost Hill?
Just like Paula Jone’s story was garbage.
The MSM will show us the stake has been driven through her heart when they spike this story.
Smaller papers may print, but the talking heads won’t touch this with a 10 meter pole.
Yes, this is actually part of the Clinton disinformation campaign I think. The big “news” will arrive on Friday or Saturday...just IMO.
Duh... Half his family is from there... Obviously his grandma lives in a little village there... you aren’t paying much attention to the the Great “” Hope... now are you.
“This story has no legs - none.
This man is obviously disturbed. I hope that people are not relying on this trash to take down Obama. If you are then we have HUGE problems in November.”
I agree. Just sounds too much like the Clinton slime team. All Obama needs to do is point that out and folks won’t believe the story. After listening to Obama last night, I am sorry to say I don’t believe McCain will come close to beating him. I will vote R but don’t think it will do any good against Obama. :(
I think I’m going to post a youtube video claiming I had a gay orgy with Mike Huckabee, John McCain, the Sultan of Brunei and Donald Trump in a Bulgarian bathhouse after we all smoked vast quantities of quaaludes. See how much play it gets.
That’s what it looks like to me. It is an interesting tidbit of information about the past of my hometown.
My goodness, Paula Jones was ADMITTED to under oath.
You have a low standard of proof. Sad. Keep grasping at straws...
I believe the Obama Campaign is on an all-out investigative effort to totally discredit this Sinclair guy! The sooner the better.
Probably gain a bunch of votes as San Franciscans and Berklyites are motivated to put down the bong and go vote.
“Just waiting for Drudge to validate——memories...”
No way. Drudge is too busy cheerleading Obama on to report on anything negative about him.
Fight from a Principled stand... Now that, is a political oxymoron...hmmmm interesting...
I’ll join you and claim that Mitt was their as well. We’ll look believable and point to over 1,000,000 YouTube hits as validity of our claims. I’ll even drag up a hotel receipt.
Good grief...
“The debate is tomorrow night.
If Hillary is stupid enough to bring this up she will (and should)lose Ohio and Texas by 20+ points.
This is garbage.”
she wont say a word......... there’s a new 527 group in Ohio that is going to do her dirty work for her................ remember the 527’s spread the rumors about McCain in 2000 about him having an illegitimate colored baby, and sold his fellow POW’s out in Vietnam etc.
this new 527 started up right before this article hit this cleveland leader.
LMAO!!!
