There have been many rumors and allegations about Obama doing drugs and being on the down low. Larry Sinclair alleged that he and Obama used drugs and had a gay sex encounter in a limousine in November 1999. A friend of Obama, Lawrence Lessig, was a former University of Chicago associate and is a big Obama supporter and advisor. Lessig is openly gay and has a radical gay agenda. A former Chicago restaurant owner heard persistent rumors about Obama. Here is her story:

As the Chicago-area chef and restaurateur mentioned in this posting, I’ve already provided information to Larry Sinclair’s attorney concerning the several dozen (at least) gay men who spoke with me about Obama’s sexual proclivities (specifically, his being on the “down low,” as they say). I began hearing these rumors in late 2000-early 2001, and continued to hear them until I closed my restaurant and dropped out of civilized society in 2003. These stories were from apparently unrelated sources, and the details in each, when such details were given, were consistent from story to story: always oral sex only, with Obama as the, well, I suppose “recipient” would be as good a word as any. Perhaps Rev. Wright failed to cover Acts 20:35, “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” In any case, the sheer volume of rumors was convincing enough for me… especially once the veracity of claims (some from some of the same men) regarding the similar proclivities of another area politician was subsequently confirmed to me several years later by an old reporter friend in Washington, DC. In my fairly long life experience, I’ve learned that bromides are so hackneyed precisely because they’re true, so… where there’s smoke, there’s generally going to be fire. These rumors seemed authentic to me, and the men telling them seemed quite sincere. Several of them claimed to have beeen with Obama, but most said that they’d learned of it through the firsthand experience of friends and acquaintances.

As for Lessig, he and Obama seem made for each other: two exceedingly pampered elitists clamoring for “genteel” socialism, with the bulk of us, not them, to pay the price. Lessig and Obama both portray themselves as Constitutionalists… in their cases I can only assume that means that they’ve read it and know it, not that they wholeheartedly support it. Personally, I’m so weary of the upending of the Constitution, that “goddamn piece of paper,” as Geo. Bush so, um, eloquently put it. Looking back, I think our founding fathers were quite right: “Government without a Constitution is power without a right” (Thomas Paine); “In Questions of Power, then, Let No More be Heard of Confidence in Man, but Bind him Down from Mischief with the Chains of the Constitution” (Thomas Jefferson).

And let’s not forget Ben Franklin: “I smell a rat.”
