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."
There’s a large part of this country that thinks having a swish in the WH would be a bad idea.
I disagree with you. I just spoke with my blue-collar, life long Democrat family - 2 brothers, my mom, and my dad.
To a single person, they all are voting McCain.
In my brother’s words (barely graduated HS, mind you):
“He feels more like a True Democrat to me than Obama. Oh, and did you know the guy is Muslim?”
My jaw hit the floor. Nobody, in my liberal California democrat family believes McCain is a Republican.
I’m starting to think McCain could win it without conservatives, and win it easily.
My whole family is freaking out about Obama winning the nomination, “How did it come to this?”
I’ve seen many strange things in my life - my family voting for a republican is not one of those things.
LOL!!!!!!
IF it happened, it would be spun to maximize the sympathy vote.
Osama Obama ain't going away. At least not now. The enemedia has toom much invested in his superstar status.
now THAT’s funny!
But, this is his private life, so stop trying to pick on him. Don’t you know better? We thought clintoon was bad this person is worse. He is running on empty.
This must be that dirt the Clinton campaign decided to hold back.
But now nothing is off the table for Hillary.
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
“Hillary’s got bigger problems than drugs and scissoring-—the Peter Paul trial is lethal.”
Just how do you figure that ? The public surely couldn’t care less about it.
I google news for “larry sinclair” obama and slowly it is getting out there.
On the web today there are 44 pages, googling news you get 1 page, googling blogs you get umpteen pages!
Huh?!?
Does she know about her husband's "infidelity"? LOL
Just waiting for Drudge to validate——memories...
Please do not substitute your name for the author’s, unless you are the author.
There are complaints that Google us undercounting the views on the youtube video, now up to about 385,000 views. They are also keeping it off the various most active video lists.
Wot???!? No Rock-n-Roll???!?
Also, please do not alter headlines.
In the youtube—he said there was another incident in his hotel room...
LOL
I hope Obama can weather this till Hillary is dispatched, because it will surely sink him in the general election.
Sorry that was a mistake....won’t happen again.
