ZDN Exclusive -- Barack OBAMA, LARRY SINCLAIR: SEX, DRUGS AND LIMO RIDES

Larry Sinclair makes clear his willingness to undergo a lie detector test to bolster credibility regarding his claim that Barrack Obama used crack cocaine as recently as 1999 during two encounters in which they had sex.

Sinclair states that he met Obama outside a club in Chicago where they were introduced by the driver of a limo that he had rented. After talking for a while they both exited the club, entered the limo, and proceeded to an unknown location where Sinclair states Obama acquired some powdered cocaine for Sinclair's use and crack cocaine for himself.

Sinclair states that while he was using the cocaine supplied by Obama, he initiated a sexual advance which was reciprocated by Obama. Shortly after that point is when Sinclair says he observed Obama inserting a crack cocaine rock into a glass tube and smoking it. Sinclair states that Obama smoked again on 2 occasions during the encounter which lasted approximately 4 hours.

According to Sinclair, Obama arrived unannounced at his hotel room a day or two after the initial meeting for the primary purpose of having sex with him, calling it a "quickie". Sinclair states that the encounter lasted approximately 1.5 hours and again involved the use of cocaine.

Larry Sinclair states he has contacted the Obama campaign as well as many mainstream media outlets, but that only one showed any interest and even that investigation was terminated when the editor got cold feet.

Sinclair posted his first video concerning the incident on YouTube in late January, 2008, though he states that this has been an ongoing ordeal. He has since added 3 more videos at the time of this writing in addition to an interview by Jeff Rense on his radio show where he goes into greater detail as to his motives for going public with this information.

Sinclair states he is not interested in money and that his only interest is that Obama come clean and acknowledge the drug use as late as 1999. He states that he is concerned that someone running for the highest office in the United States government would lie about these allegations and wonders if someone that would lie about this incident would also lie about other things.
