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."
This might not cost him votes from the party faithful but it will cost him many votes in a presidential election. I always had a feeling that B.O was hiding some gay skeletons his closet.
Well then he could move back to Africa and get all the drugs that he needs thanks to the U.S.... Maybe then he and his wife would be proud to be Americans...
This is going nowhere fast. This may have a slightly negative effect on Independents, but for the Dem base, it’s a definite resume enhancer..............
Popcorn, there simply is not enough popcorn to keep me supplied for this democrat campaign. The longer it goes the better it gets.
Started with WingNutDaily and Joe Farah yesterday.
We’ll see if this has any legs or legitimacy to it. Could be the rantings of a Hillary! supporter.
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.
They make a nice couple, no?
Remember, the Giants weren’t supposed to win the Superbowl, either.......
Related to the Clintons by blood, marriage, or bank deposit?
The Klintoons were waiting for Wisconsin. Once they lost it, they can't afford to wait for Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania! This, they believe, may win them the big states and the nomination.
Do the Klintoons know how many cokeheads in the super delegates who may still go for Ohomo?

“We’ll see if this has any legs or legitimacy to it. Could be the rantings of a Hillary! supporter.”
Once the seeds of doubt have been planted, it’s very hard to uproot them, totally.
Is the Cleveland Leader a print newspaper or just a blog? I looked it up in a google and it looks like the Cleveland Leader merged (and went away) in 1917.
He loves her {don't axe me why}.
When I talked with him this week, I asked "What if osamaobama wins the primary"?
His answer was typical demonRAT, "I'll vote for mcpain, I'll never vote for a N-----".
And the demonRATs call the pubbies bigots...
hahahahahahahahahahahah
This fellow looks like a Clintonista!!!!!
He and his wife took HIV tests last time they were in Africa. Not sure on the results of those...
“but the story has still been largely ignored by the news media.”
If he were a conservative, you would know about it on mars.
“These allegations, even if true, are not going to cost Obama a single Democrat vote.”
I have to disagree. It may not cost him any of the moonbat vote. Plenty of conservative Dems will walk out over this. Also isn’t Obamas rap that he will draw crossover and independent votes. If this turns out to be true, he’ll still get the far left moonbat and youth vote (provided the youth vote bothers to show up in Nov.)
The Clinton campaign begins to unload...
“>> It’s out there in Ohio..
The wave is building, but I hope it doesn’t crest too soon.
Not until after !O! wins OH and TX. But that’s two full weeks away.”
Couldn’t agree more. This kind of killer story needs to stay bottled up until after Obama gets the nomination in August, thereby driving a stake through Hillary’s heart.
Then let slip the dogs of war...
