Obama stated during his interview with Bill O’Reilly that “I want to be held accountable for my OWN actions, not the actions of my friends…”
Larry Sinclair has issued a challenge to Obama to live up to his words. Here are exerpts from Larry Sinclair’s post:

OBAMA’S OWN WORDS!
Well Barack, stand up like a man and acknowledge your OWN actions in engaging in gay sex with Larry Sinclair on November 6 & 7, 1999, your smoking of crack cocaine on November 6 & 7, 1999, your relationship with the MURDERED Donald Young, your campaigns use of Dan Parisi of Whitehouse.com and Edward Gelb in a rigged polygraph, your use of Joe Biden and Beau Biden to issue a fabricated warrant in attempt to discredit my June 18, 2008 NPC Press Conference, etc…..
You, yourself, Barack Obama, said you want to be held accountable for your OWN actions. Then answer the questions and accept responsibility for your actions.”
Citizen WElls 
US Senator Barack Obama is a good TALKER…. TALK use to be cheap.

Al,
I’ve heard many say this, but in MHO Barack Obama manifests communication patterns commonly found among individuals where information is either not clearly known, or there is an attempt to distort and/or conceal.
He gives vague answers eg.” could”, “maybe” and focuses on irrelevancies, or misdirects when asked a question that he doesn’t wish to answer. This is common among many politicians, but in this case it’s a question of degree. His irrelevancies are often not even tangentially related to the subject at hand. His vagueness is so prominant that it cannot be relieved with multiple direct questioniong.
There are countless qualifiers, which make him sound learned and eloquent, all the while leaving the listener will little substance to his point, if there is a point at all.
He commonly uses words, phrases eg. ” to accept the notion that, or that one must accept….” as puctuations to his thoughts, that have yet been formed. This is in addition to the countless uhms, ahs, etc.
When feeling under pressure he cocks his head to the right, and if the questions really appear dangerous eg. when asked about his ties to Ayers in thePennsylvania debate, his blinking rate accelerates considerably. In short he is not at ease with himself , and the viewer feels equally uneasy when he is interviewed.
He does have a great smile, often engaging the interviewer in this way, but it is often defensive to neutralize any hostile inquiries by the interviewer.
In short, when on his feet, without a script, his communication is not cogent or cohesive, and his style is not fluid and comfortable. One might say there” is no there, there”. So then , what is behind the mask?
