Obama: Man Claims Gay Sex, Drugs in '99 with Barack



The internet is abuzz with an ongoing story where a man alleges he and Senator Barack Obama had gay sex and did illegal drugs in 1999. While the MSM is aware of this story, no one in the MSM has touched it with a ten foot pole.

Is this yet another "non-story" where the MSM, as "watchdogs," decide not to report it? Or is the story about the MSM itself, that the MSM is withholding a potentially damaging report about a popular candidate running in the 2008 election for its own convoluted reasons?

While the MSM continues to ignore this story, the internet has taken up the slack, various blogs have reported on Sinclair and his claims of his illicit involvement with Senator Obama.

The video was posted one month ago on Youtube. Entitled "Obama's Limo Sex and Drug Party," the video has been seen by over 290,000 plus viewers. The man in the video, Larry Sinclair, claims he met up with the then state representative, Barack Obama, in 1999 for drugs and for sex two times, once in a limo and the other at a hotel.





A pudgy, scruffy looking guy wearing a brightly colored shirt and a baseball cap, Sinclair claims he made the video and posted it on Youtube "because of an incident involving myself and Senator Barack between November 3rd and November 8th in the Chicago, Illinois area."

He goes on to state that he and Obama met at an upscale lounge in Chicago, Illinois, in November of 1999.


Sinclair in '99


Sinclair claims that "after having a few drinks, "Obama and I left in my limo, we began to drink, Mr. Obama acquired powdered cocaine for my use, crack cocaine for his use. I performed sex on Senator Obama , who at the time was a state representative for the state of Illinois. Mr. Obama knows these allegations to be true. I'm challenging Mr. Obama to come forth, be honest, stop claiming that his drug use is limited to his teenage years."

Sinclair goes on to directly address Obama:

"In 1999 you weren't a teenager. In 1999 you were a state representative for the people of the state of Illinois. In 1999, I performed oral sex on you in the back of my limo as well as in my hotel room in Gurnee, Illinois, two days later. If you challenge this, the authenticity of this allegation, I challenge you to take a polygraph test as I will submit to as well."

Sinclair goes on to claim the allegations are true:

"These allegations are true and need to told to the public. Let the public decide whether Mr. Obama is being forthright and honest."

Sinclair challenged Obama to take a polygraph. The question was, would Sinclair submit to one as well, after all, he's the one making the nasty allegations against Obama.

The blog, Whitehouse.com, made a challenge to Sinclair. For $10,000 bucks, take a polygraph and put the money where your mouth is, (Not where it once was) and $100,000 smackeroos if Sinclair passes the test.
The truth will set you free they say, but the truth plus $100,000 will set you even freer. That's the conclusion our good friend Larry Sinclair has come to after considering the offer we made him yesterday: $10,000 to take a polygraph test over his Barack Obama sex and drugs claims, and $100,000 if he passes it. Source - Whitehouse.com
Sinclair has also filed a Federal suit against Obama and David Axelrod:
Later in the day, Sinclair filed suit against Obama and his campaign guru David Axelrod in Minnesota district court for allegedly attempting to abridge Sinclair's right to free speech, and for waging an intimidation campaign against him. Source - Whitehouse.com
We wondered, is the fact that Larry Sinclair is not the brightest bulb in the bunch, a scruffy, pudgy guy with no credentials, is that why the MSM is turning a blind eye to this story?

What if Sinclair, were, say, someone with an Ivy League background, a six or seven figure income, would this make the MSM sit up and report the story?

We're not sure if they would have reported the story unless, and this is a cynical view of the MSM, Sinclair had made his allegations and had named John McCain or Mike Huckabee as the participants instead of Obama.

We would like to know the truth. It's that simple.

Is Larry Sinclair lying or is he telling the truth? Did he spend time with a candidate for the office of the president of the United States doing coke and letting Larry give him blow jobs?

We don't expect our candidates to be inhumanly perfect but we'd like to know if our guy is into kinky sex and doing drugs before we decide to vote for him. What we shouldn't have to deal with is a press who acts as a watchdog for our interests. This is patronizing and not supposed to be the credo of the MSM.

You report, MSM, then let us decide.

Funny, Larry Sinclair said the same thing in his video.

Google Evaluates the Candidates

What Google Tells Us About the Candidates



If you're the kind of voter who casts their ballot according to the candidates' stands on Internet issues, this story might just be your ticket.

If you're the kind of voter who casts their ballot according to how popular the candidates are on-line, this also might be the story you're looking for.
Obama has 271,000 MySpace friends, compared to Hillary's 181,000, and McCain's disappointing 44,000.

Jason Lee Miller has written a piece for WebProNews on how the candidates stacked up based on their appearance at Google's HQ in California.

He looks at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, and John McCain for the Republicans.

It's interesting and a video of each candidate at Google was found on YouTube.

This was the summary of each.

OBAMA

If you're the type of person who listens to what President Bush says and thinks we should do the opposite, then Obama's your man. In this Editor & Publisher report, Bush called McCain a "true conservative" (a statement Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingram and Coulter might all disagree with), and said Hillary was "well-prepared for the job." And Barack? Bush doesn't like Obama's lack of foreign policy experience. And if anybody knows about bad foreign policy, it's Bush.

That's the last time. Honestly.

Obama's well-liked at the Googleplex, especially since he was the only candidate to answer correctly CEO Eric Schmidt's Google employment question, which is about "the most efficient way to sort a million 32-bit integers."

He answered "I think the bubble sort would be the wrong way to go." That's apparently correct because the crowd applauded. Giving me a math problem is like putting a chimp at the helm of an atom-smasher. Still, I think this is the correct answer: "Give them to a Google employee."

Obama at Google


Net Neutrality is a big Internet issue at the moment.

Google employees wanted to know about how the candidates felt about that particular issue, and Lee fills in the blanks.

During that interview, Obama voiced support for Network Neutrality (a topic you're unlikely to hear about off the Internet), and unveiled his technological plan for the nation, which included the appointment of a Chief Technical Officer to help make the government more transparent online.

As far as utilizing the Internet in his campaign goes, he's been early and aggressive online, making use of YouTube, MySpace, and Google AdWords, especially to ward off a smear campaign suggesting he was Muslim. That question, by the way,—whether he's Muslim—is the top Google suggestion for "Obama is…."

"Smear" here is in the eye of the beholder. There are legitimate questions concerning Obama, religion and his religious advisers. None of those questions constitute a "smear" in the classic sense of the word.

However, "smear" has come to mean "any unpleasant questions" in the modern political lexicon.

McCAIN

Google Suggest suggests that McCain is an insane, liberal traitor, or at best an old conservative. But if you're the type to go against anything MoveOn.org says, which has thrown it's support via donated money and advertising to Obama, then McCain's your man.

And he's earned your support. For every dollar McCain's campaign spent online he earned $4 in campaign donations. Not a bad return at all. His email campaign did better, pulling $189 average donations at a cost of $8 per donor. He's savvy when it comes to Internet campaigning, utilizing AdWords, AdSense, and MySpace to bolster support.

His ads don't always hit the mark. Some of his AdSense flyovers ended up in enemy territory thanks to some faulty contextual targeting. And he had to diffuse a McCain googlebomb at some point, which seems to have been unsuccessful. His attack on Hillary worked pretty well though.



While visiting the Googleplex, Schmidt let McCain off the hook by not making him answer the efficient bit-sorting thing, and McCain struck a cord with Googlers with this nugget:



“If Google is going to be able to maintain its supremacy in the world, it is going to have to continue to get the best and the brightest from all over the world, and I accept with your gigantic egos, that you are the best…we need an H1B visa program that works.”

But he wasn't pandering. Soon after, a Googler got the "McCain story" Rick Santorum was talking about as the two of them argued about the war in Iraq. And McCain wasn't exactly gentle. And he's still kind of mad at Google and Yahoo for their involvements with China.

He's against Net Neutrality, believing the market will right itself without government intervention. That might be why he took in $0 from Yahoo, and just $1,550 from Google. Don't feel bad for him though, McCain has mentioned making Cisco CEO John Chambers a cabinet member. Cisco doesn't like Net Neutrality either, especially with all the network filtering equipment they make.

And lastly, Hillary Clinton showed up at the Googleplex to talk to the Google employees.

As per usual, she came with a set of pre-conditions.

CLINTON

Google Suggest isn't kind to Sen. Clinton, either, suggesting she "is" a fake, a joke, even the devil. Slate compared her to General Electric, the "mega-cap blue-chip, a juggernaut of the 1990s," but I like the comparison to Microsoft better, especially if Obama is Google.

In fact, out of Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, Clinton pulled in the most from Mr. Softy, the Beast of Redmond, and carried Silicon Valley, too. She also has visited the Googleplex, but unfortunately, it looks like Clinton specified "no math questions" before Schmidt was allowed to interview her.



The piece winds up with the following: "Rest assured, just like Microsoft with Google, wherever Obama is, there you'll find Clinton, too, especially online. In AdWords, on YouTube and MySpace."

And there you have it.

The handicapping of the candidates, according to Google.

While we think Google is an exceptional search engine, we're not so sure about its political advisory capabilities.

After all, in campaign season, it becomes just another interest group.

How Far Did General Petraeus
Move the Debate on War?

THE DEFEATIST CORNER DEMOCRATS HAVE PAINTED THEMSELVES INTO


by Mondoreb
From the Captain's Quarters:

How far has General David Petraeus moved the debate on Iraq? His testimony on the surge, and the effects of the surge itself, has made it much more difficult for Democrats to argue for withdrawal and defeat. In fact, at last night's debate, the leading contenders for the Democratic nomination couldn't even commit to a withdrawal.
Slowly, like a noose tightening around their necks, the leading Democratic candidates are starting to realize something: while the War in Iraq is not popular, a large percentage of American adults realize it was necessary.

The constant Democrat pandering to the Huffington Post and TheDailyKOS crowd is not without it's consequences. Come November next year Americans will cast ballots on a President. Many of those voters will vote on the person they feel can defend the country best in a time of war. Looking over the entire Democrat line-up does nothing to inspire those voters who consider national defense a key to their vote.

Regardless of what the Nutroots, the Mainstream Media and the Democratic candidates shovel out onto the news compost, a majority of Americans seem to liken the War in Iraq to cleaning out a hornets' nest in the garage: an unpleasant task, but it has to be done. And forget anyone else coming over to your garage to do it for you.

The Democrat Debate last night provided evidence of the dilemma the Dems have charged into. None now guaranteed a speedy withdrawal. TheDailyKOSsacks must have been spazzing out in suburban basements all across America. The 'Mad Pakistani Bomber', B. Hussein Obama: "I think it's hard to project four years from now," (from Yahoo News.


Perhaps the Democrats paused over this week's Rasmussen Poll which found that only 28% supported the abhorent MoveOn.org ad on "General Betray Us". 58% disapproved. Maybe Congressional Dems might want to rethink their disgusting attempts at turning the Petraeus Report hearings into one long Democrat Party election soundbite.

The Petraeus Report hearings will make an election commercial all right. Just not the one that opportunistic, defeatist Democrat Party pols thought they were getting.

PAPERCUTS EXCLUSIVE!:

Bill Richardson: "I Will Not Live in Fear"
BUSH JUST AS BAD AHMADINEJAD


by Mondoreb

Democrat Presidential candidate Bill Richardson has a message for the people he's appealing to: American President George Bush is no better than Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Richardson is seemingly reaching out to the crew at TheDailyKOS.

An online poll conducted this week at the "new center of the Democratic Party"'s website was revealing: In an election matchup between Bush and Ahmadinejad, Bush narrowly squeaked out a 52-45% win. Little Green Footballs captured a screen shot of the poll. The Left's favorite response to any discovery of how they really think is "Satire!" No on remembered it this time.

This did not go undetected by Democrats. The following is a letter sent out by Richardson's campaign this morning.


Dear (my name),

Yesterday, the Presidents of Iran and of the United States both addressed the United Nations.

In his speech, Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, confirmed what we already knew: he is a demagogue and a despot.

And in his own speech, our President, George W. Bush, confirmed something else we already knew: he is a fearmonger, whose unwillingness to use diplomacy to confront our enemies has made America less safe.

Just like before their reckless invasion of Iraq, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have been rattling sabers about Iran's nuclear program and about how all options are on the table in regard to military force. It's "axis of evil" all over again!

This kind of rhetoric does not help America's strategic interests or improve the stability of that troubled region.
The letter then makes an appeal for a $50 donation.

Like a Christmas present, the morning mail many times brings surprises. Some cause delight and some cause one to roll their eyes. The letter in question causes one to close thier eyes, pondering the curious position of the Democrat Party on foreign affairs. By kowtowing to the unhinged few who blog among them, Democrats are forcing a debate next year in which are they are taking an unsettling position. According to this letter, that position seems to be:
George Bush is no better than a man who has vowed to destroy the United States.

Bill Richardson at HuffPo: WHEN WAR ADS ARE ABOUT KILLERS,
ONLY KILLERS WILL HAVE WAR ADS
--or Something Like That


[above: Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson answers a question about how many U.S. troops support his candidacy.]
by Mondoreb

Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson was out among the people when he came to a realization: If only he were in charge, HE'd figure out the absolute quickest way to lose the Iraqi War. At least that's the spin he puts on his wide-eyed article over at the Huffington Post earlier today.
Two days ago the Senate had a chance to help get more of our soldiers home for longer periods of time -- but the measure failed. Yesterday they had a chance to set a timeline to start withdrawing troops -- but that failed too. And today, another measure that would've required a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq failed. Three chances to make a difference, lost. But instead of continuing to push on the most important issue facing our country right now, yesterday Congress spent their time debating and condemning a newspaper ad by an anti-war group.
Richardson apparently doesn't think there's anything wrong with groups calling the general in charge of Iraq "General Be Tray Us". U.S. commitments abroad? Forget it. American prestige in an area of the world that places a value on such things? A mere inconvenience.
Let's get some perspective here -- ads don't kill people -- wars kill people. And it is long past time to end this war.
Like Dorothy in Oz, Richardson wants the troops home. Any way possible. Even if he has to use a giant hot-air balloon and bring them all back to Kansas.
Full retreat backwards and damn the torpedoes!
It's a wonderful world that the Democratic presidential contenders inhabit: it's all warm and fuzzy, actions have no consequence, and the Jihadi lions will lay down with the Leftist lambs. Like a modern day Moses, Richardson is pleading: Let my troops go!

But sadly, there is a price to pay for a country tucking it's tail and running--even if it's the strongest in the world. Bill Richardson won't likely have to pay that price, but American companies, Americans abroad and Americans at home will. The Jihadis will soon follow the last troops out of Iraq to U.S. soil. But that's another day, another HuffPo article for Richardson.

The world does not conform to Bill Richardson's creamy, dreamy worldview. The world's a dangerous place.
No matter how many times he closes his eyes, clicks his heels and says, "I want the troops home."
