Someone has edited the Sinclair video - mostly adding some "you be the judge" type disclaimers to the first part.
You can see it here.
I've noticed that some people really focus on the sex part, some people on the homosexual part, and some people on the crack part. I think personally the most disturbing allegations against Obama are his using illegal drugs and having what essentially amounts to sex with a stranger. These are still the kinds of behavior that make any person in power a good target for extortion. Suppose someone wants to harm Obama - all they have to do is approach him like Sinclair did - in that compromising position, Sinclair could easily harm Obama either physically or politically with no sweat.
Still no one in the mainstream media has reported on this thing yet. I hope they are doing their homework. I think one role of the press is certainly to expose wrongdoing, but might they not also have a responsibility to investigate and *exonerate* Obama if they find that Sinclair's story is a lie?

Larry Sinclair Radio Interview
Here's an interview that Larry Sinclair did with Jeff Rense - MP3.
A bit about Rense, since I don't want anyone thinking I buy into his worldview. Jeff Rense's website and show is very popular with the conspiracy set, and it tends towards anti-semitism on the Israel issue and with regards to the Holocaust. But the MP3 contains a pretty decent interview in that Rense tries to pin Sinclair down on the details of the encounter with Obama.
From the interview we learn that Sinclair claims to have stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Gurney, IL. He also claims to have been a member of the Choice Hotels frequent guest program. Some other sites have tracked down the fact that the Choice Hotels program didn't begin until after he claims to have stayed there, but I think there was a precursor program that probably turned into the present program. I will check on that and let you know when I find out.
Again, I have no idea if Sinclair is telling the truth, but I'm frustrated that the mainstream media is not asking the questions of Sinclair, Obama, etc. This is a man putting his face forward and making an accusation of drug use (Crack) and essentially sex with a stranger - two behaviors that would be undesirable in a presidential candidate. Hopefully Sinclair can be discredited or else the whole nomination process gets discredited. But if Sinclair is telling the truth, then the Democrats can better focus their attention on Hillary and Edwards and not waste any more money or time on Obama if he can't possibly be in the running.
One weird note - Rense did post a "press release" yesterday on the website and then it was revoked. Either he is unwilling to go out on a limb with Sinclair or he wants the interview to speak for itself. Anyway, when I see Drudge carry the story, then I'll know that the mainstream press either has reported on it, or someone inside a major news organization believes the case to be credible enough to pass along to Drudge despite editorial nixing of the story...
