Man Claims He Had Sex With Obama In 1999

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

We're warning you now, this video is creepy as hell. And probably a total fraud, since the guy is way too rehearsed and completely unemotional. (Why is he even telling people this and why is he blabbing now?)

Larry Sinclair, who doesn't even bother to explain how he came to even meet then-State Rep. Barack Obama in Chicago in '99, has filed a lawsuit against the Obama campaign for infringing on his right to free speech. He seems to be doing a pretty good job of running his mouth in the above YouTube video, which has been viewed by hundreds of thousands and is being rightfully ignored outside the gossip blogs.

Obama, meanwhile, is looking into rumors that Hillary Clinton's staff has been in contact with Sinclair recently. Of course, they won't find anything and if they do, they would still have to keep it to themselves, lest the MSM (the Mainstream Media, 'scuse us) pick up on it and damage his chances in the next couple days.

In other Obama news, he is looking like a big winner in Wisconsin today and might even pull off an upset in Texas on March 4. Stay tuned... and please post comments on anything you hear on this developing story.

Seriously? I doubt that dude ever went to nightclub in a limo. If Obama was going to do coke and get some man-ass, I would hope that he would have better taste than to do it with this douchebag.

Couldn't agree more -- Obama would knock that dork-ass cap off his head, yes, but that would be the extent of their physical contact.
