> Startling News
> As Americans by the millions support Senator Obama for President:
> Obama is reportedly guilty of snorting crack cocaine and engaging in gay sex in 1999!
> NEWS BRIEF: "Sleaze charge: 'I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama' ", World Net Daily, February
> 18, 2008
> "WASHINGTON – The electrifying presidential campaign of Barack Obama faces a new challenge – a
> Minnesota man who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with the then-Illinois legislator and
> participated in homosexual acts with him. When his story was ignored by the news media, Larry
> Sinclair made his case last month in a YouTube video, which has now been viewed more than a
> quarter-million times. And when it was still ignored by the media, Sinclair filed a suit in
> Minnesota District Court, alleging threats and intimidation by Obama's staff."
> "Sinclair, who lives in Duluth and describes himself as "gay," claims he "personally engaged in
> sexual activity and personally used illegal drugs in November 1999" with the man who is now the
> leading Democratic presidential candidate. He claims the activity took place in the back of
> Sinclair's limousine and occurred again, later, in his hotel."
> This story is pure dynamite during this sensitive time in the Presidential primaries! The states
> of Hawaii and Wisconsin are holding their presidential primaries tomorrow (February 19), while
> voters in Ohio and Texas go to the polls on March 4. This story could not have come at a worse
> time for the Obama campaign. In fact, the timing is so suspiciously close to these primary
> elections that I seriously wonder if some enemy of Obama leaked it, and that enemy could be
> either a Democrat or a Republican.
> As to the truth of the allegations, I have to let the World Net Daily article stand on its own
> at this time. At the bottom of the article, WND listed three hotlinks to a copy of the lawsuit
> which this Larry Sinclair is said to have filed with the court in Minnesota. If this story is
> true, and if it gains traction in the Mass Media, Obama's credibility could take a huge hit.
> When I went to the official Barack Obama website, the central picture is of Obama with his wife
> to his right, a daughter in front and a daughter standing next to him. This picture clearly
> exudes "Family Values"!
> II. Since people have emailed us, telling us that Obama is a Christian, we have done some
> research to see if this is true. We could not find a 'Statement of Faith' from Obama, where he
> told his conversion story. This is what we have found. The black journalist who wrote this
> article came to the conclusion that Obama's church is virtually the Christian equivalent to
> Farrakhan's 'Nation of Islam'! Since time and space do not permit us to print this article in
> full, we encourage you to read it for yourself in its entirety. Your perception of Obama may be
> forever changed.
> NEWS BRIEF: "Obamination", by Erik Rush, Renew America, February 21, 2007
> "... in the 'About' section of the U.S. Senate website for Barack Obama, Democratic senator from
> Illinois and contender for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, it
> states that Obama and his family 'live on Chicago's South Side where they attend Trinity United
> Church of Christ'."

> "So...?"
>
> "Well, to say that the Trinity United Church of Christ (
http://www.tucc.org)
is afrocentric in
> the extreme would be a gross understatement. It's not simply afrocentric, it's African-centric.
> In fact, one could argue that this organization worships things African to a far greater degree
> than they do Christ, and gives the impression of being a separatist "church" in the same vein as
> do certain supremacist "white brethren" churches — or even Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.
> "Shocking? An overstatement? An overreaction?"
> "One can see for oneself on the Trinity United Church website, which is replete with
> confirmation of what I present here. What follows is an excerpt from their Mission Statement:
> We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in
> the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African
> people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.
> God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and
> the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously
> address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God
> through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black
> Community.
> "Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd
> Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts
> and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches,
> nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following

> 1) Commitment to God
> 2) Commitment to the Black Community
> 3) Commitment to the Black Family
> 4) Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
> 5) Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
> 6) Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
> 7) Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
> 8) Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
> 9) Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black

> 10) Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and

> 11) Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
> 12) Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System."
> "Trinity United Church of Christ's congregation also claims to hold to a '10-point Vision' which

> separatist church or the Branch Davidians, Trinity United more resembles a cult than a church.
> Only this one has as one of its most prominent members a serious contender for the White House."
> "And George W. Bush's born-again Christian status scares people?"
> Can you imagine what would happen if a white candidate for President attended a church which

> holding to these racist principles and becoming more popular by the day!
> This black author concludes:
> "Obama's affiliation with this church, if I must call it that, should be as alarming to the
> American voter as a Republican candidate for president belonging to the Aryan Brethren Church of
> Christ. Any argument against this assertion is politically-correct delusion, reverse
> discrimination and a hypocrisy — a very dangerous one."
> Senator Obama is NOT what he appears to be. He might be the most dangerous of all candidates in
> a very long time, as he mixes radical black values with empty promises of an exciting "change",
> which he has neither the experience nor the contacts to make it happen.

Do we absolutely care what goes on in these peoples personal lives? They find anything to gain publicity and bring that person down.

The only part of this that even concerns me in the slightest is if he as "separatist" as it claims, and yes, it would concern me just as much if the one running was white and a white "separatist". I don't care about his sex life...I don't care about his trying drugs, but what I do care about is his working for everyone in this country; not just a select few...

It's probably better to have a president who can chill out with some drugs, heck, Kenedy was a proven speed addict and his sex life was, to say the least, outrageous, tens of women, he's probably slept with more people than Britney Spears and he's still revered as a phenominal president. Then again, I am expecting more startling revellations, perhaps John MacCane is really a panda in disguise or that he peed his bed when he was 2 years old, twice and that he once had a friend whose ex girl friend participated in a threesome, surely no one will vote for him after that.
I have huge concerns about Obama, not because of his drugs or his color, but his cult type following and lack of any sensible plans, nothing beyond the "yes we can" and "time for change" slogans, it's all empty propaganda to me. But I'm not a registerred voter in the U.S. so it's not up to me who the people choose as president.
