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."
And how many months was that AFTER she brought forth the lurid allegations?
Scurrilous charges in politics... Nah.. Say its not so... Must be that great big Right Wing Conservative Conspriacy we keep hearing about... hmmm..and I thought all politicians were above this sort of thing.. /s
That's what endears him to the base.
In the end, will the voters pick a coke head or a crook. (Keating 5)? Only time will tell, but I suspect this will be swept under the "not proven" rug, even if it is..proven that is.
Now we know the reason for the Obamunist’s visit with the Breck Girl last Weekend.
Bow Chicka Wow Wow.
Why? The only thing an HIV test shows is that at some time in the past you came in contact with a ubiquitous, harmless 9Kbase retrovirus that doesn’t cause immunosuppression. HIV soesn’t cause AIDs and AIDs is NOT sexually transmittable. What a laugher you guys are. The Lancet to the present and you still fall for this homo scam!
"I have experience with the right wing slime machine, dealing with all the crazy claims made against my husband and myself. That same slime machine now is going after my opponent with wild accusations, some even appearing in Ohio newspapers...A candidate has to be experienced enough to take on the right wing slime machine"
Reminds me of this Ann Coulter quote about Fat Teddy - "Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party's spiritual leader."
Really sums up the liberal philosophy quite well...
She will get killed with that line.
No, she needs to leave it alone...
“A candidate has to be experienced enough to take on the right wing slime machine”
its funny you say that, this guy claims obama’s campaign has spent the past few months trying to pin him to either Hillary’s campaign or a Republican’s campaign. obama is already trying to use this thing to his advantage.
LOL...time to pop some popcorn, fluff the pillow, sit back and enjoy the show!!!
"I have experience with the right wing slime machine, dealing with all the crazy claims made against my husband and myself. That same slime machine now is going after my opponent with wild accusations, some even appearing in Ohio newspapers..."
The old "make sure you ignore this thing I'm point at while screaming" ploy, with a little bit of poor-me thrown in for flavor. Nice call.
His voting record has nothing to do with his pleasant personality. I know how bad this voting record is. I just hope that voters are interested enough to do their homework.
Wasn’t Roger Clinton recorded on tape saying his brother bill (then governor?) had a ‘nose like a vacum cleaner’
And why did hilLIARy never answer the question when asked (by Tom Bauerle of WBEN 930 AM Buffalo) “Did you ever smoke pot or use cocaine?” She laughed off the question and then HE MADE NATIONAL NEWS for asking the question!
What was Paula Jone’s evidence?
He may not have HIV, but he is at risk of botulism...bad meat in the can.
Difference is, if you did none of the above and had absolutely no proof to support your claims, you could get hit with libel, slander and defamation of character suits.
OB can afford to do it, easily....but hasn’t.....yet.
I find that....”interesting”.
Regardless of whether or not this is true...are the Clintons behind it? Bet they ARE!
Whether there is any truth to this or not I definitely have no idea! However, as Obama’s star rises, we’re going to witness a struggle between the Clinton Machine to dish out dirt on him and the so-called “journalists” of the “Mainstream Newsmedia” to cover it up. Obama’s political fate may rest on the outcome of this struggle!
