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."
Pinging Michelle Obama - - better get tested.
yeah the cleveland leader seems like a cheap gossip site.
That’s hilarious!
thats just wrong
What is different about what Obama did and what the Clintons did (do)?
Hillary is involved in a questionable relationship with a Muslim woman, and Bill has had cocaine rumors clouding him for years. (I even heard that he pardoned over 40 prisoners with cocaine links in the last month he was in office.)
Those two are the best that the Democrats have to offer, I guess.
I'm thinking of starting a movement to get Huckabee to win the primary.
The only issue will be that he plays the Bass Guitar in his own band. Which, incidentally is a pretty good band!
Isn't music the universal language?
Might as well go with what a candidate is good at.
isn’t the cleveland paper the Dealer, not the leader?
“isn’t the cleveland paper the Dealer, not the leader?”
yep: the cleveland plain dealer: largest paper in ohio
This could be the perfect set-up for someone to now commit a hate crime against Obama.
Wanna bet this has all been orchestrated by the Clintonistas? But, you know, I wouldn’t put it passed Oprahbama. There’s something eerily amiss with him.
Since this is a Cleveland paper, I would venture to say that Stephanie Tubbs Jones, whose job it is to deliver her chunk of Ohio for Hillary, was told to march down to the local paper and tell them to print this. Just guessing, but is this a black newspaper? How the vote goes in the Ohio Democrat primary probably depends entirely on how Ms. Tubbs Jones' congressional district votes. That's my guess.
Absolutely correct!
James Carville is the “evil genius” behind every Clinton related attack on an opponent. In 2000,(for Gore) they went after “W” and the Drunk Driving October surprise, the “Watch my lips, NO new taxes!” October surprize are all related to Carville.
But the media has moved into the Obama camp, sort of like the MLK phenomenon, Jesus has returned for the gathering of lemmings. Shortly thereafter, will begin the mindless following. Where ever Obama goes, they will follow.
“This has been bubbling for a while. It has to be the Clintons who finally got this into the papers.”
Hillary started her own gay led media operation a few years back when David Brock became head, figuratively, of Media Matters. They claim to be there to keep “rightwing” media from distorting the truth, a laughing matter considering the left wing lies that flow through the main stream media.
“Just a crazy with a camcorder who is hoping to make some $.”
I guess there is no monopoly on publishing assertions without proof.
“Hillary will have to start snorting publicly while she snacks on the carpet.”
Now there is an image I wish I could get out of my head.
I can prove my claim - it’s on You Tube.
For starters, Obama hasn’t lied about it under oath.
I WANT to believe it is true.! I’d like to see Zero Bama brought down, but not quite this early.There will have to be absolute truth to it as well. Both Sinclair and his driver subject to polygraph, who rented what motel on what days, so forth.
Better to wait until he wins the nomination.
Thanks for posting. Timely for an Ohio (upcoming) drive-by to report this.
BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
