A former radical activist from Occidental College told WorldNutDaily WorldNetDaily that upon meeting Barack Obama in 1980, he had the “strong impression” that “Obama and the wealthy Pakistani roommate who accompanied him were homosexual lovers.” Let the speculation begin!
The “article” traces Obama’s unproven homosexuality to his unproven history of sexual abuse. The young Obama allegedly had an “intimate, fatherly relationship” with “pornographer and card-carrying communist” Frank Marshall Davis, who was also — allegedly (actually, just assume everything from here on out is in giant sarcastic quotation marks) — the subject of a poem written by Obama that an anonymous psychotherapist says points to signs of sexual abuse.
Now, as for the radical, gay-baiting activist in question, that would be “award-winning” political scientist John Drew. Drew founded the Marxist-socialist club at Occidental which Obama was apparently a member of. And not only was he a member, he was even more radical than Drew, or, you know, so Drew claims.
Upon meeting the 19-year-old Obama and his “diminutive Pakistani roommate” Mohammed Hasan Chandoo over Christmas break at his girlfriend’s parent house in 1980, Drew initially thought they were a “wealthy gay couple.” Or, more specifically, thought that Obama was Chandoo’s “boy toy,” citing Chandoo’s relative wealth that allowed Obama to enjoy “a much more lavish, luxurious and pleasant life style.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“In fact, they looked so gay,” Drew recalls, “that my girlfriend, Caroline Boss, whispered to me, ‘They’re not gay.’ So, that confirmed to me I wasn’t the only one who thought Barack Obama and Hassan Chandoo looked like they were in a very close, intimate relationship.”
Well, there we have it. Two dudes who “looked so gay” that your alleged girlfriend has to inform you that they are indeed not gay? Who needs a grainy, long-lost gay sex tape with evidence like that? And Chandoo having a girlfriend just further proves he’s bisexual, according to Drew.
We don’t know what opium-laced Haterade WDN, and others like them (i.e. idiots) have been drinking, but if we were to believe them, Barack Obama is nothing more than a gay, coked-up, Muslim terrorist from Africa hellbent on bringing this once-great country to its knees. The anti-Christ would be so lucky to get press like this. But then again, according to Drew and his constituents, he already is.

And if President Obama had been bi or gay or just experimenting, what the hell differencece would that make? Any voter he would lose wouldn’t have voted for him anyway and the rest of us couldn’t give a shit.
WTF
This blog makes no frickin’ sense.
J Green
I thought we were supposed to be wildly excited because Obama has been declared the FIRST gay president. Is him being confused as gay a bad thing? Now I’M confused.

Who fricking CARES???? Re-hashing this stuff at election times is just mud slinging, as bad as saying Mittens is an illegal alien from Mexico…. emotional twaddle.
Woody
Lester, OH MY FRIGGIN GERD! You are an IDIOT for even repeating this right wing fodder. Right-wingers will pick up this swill and twist your confusing report to justify Obama being a marxist, muslim loving closet case.
Queerty, have you unwittingly hired a right-wing implant?
Fu@{ing unbelievable…

J Bruner-Heteros don’t “experiment” if he did have sex with a man he’s either bisexual or gay.

I’d still vote for Obama even if he came out as bi. Like I care. What Obama does in his free time is all good so long as it’s adult, consensual, and legal. Heck, it’s better than being a high school homophobic bully like Mittens.
The reason why the cracktastic right-wing is grasping at ridiculous straws is because Mitt has no other policy platform other than that he thinks he’s entitled to be prez. His cereal-box-cardboard like personality doesn’t help either.

Argh: Over-the-top reporting, here. Let’s add some logic, shall we? Michelle Obama had her pick of men; she too was a Harvard educated lawyer, but she held a huge corporate job; he was whatever the lawyer equivalent of intern is when they met. She made many times more money than BO, and we can agree (I hope) that she is a much better looking person than Barack. He’s decent, of course.
Michelle, I believe, was savvy enough to have picked up on any prob with the Barry: muslim, bi, gayish, suspiciously born etc.
These conspiracy theories make me acrazed and amazed. Don’t drink the koolaid, people. That purple dye will stain your shirt and yr kidneys!

Ironically, Michelle Robinson – the future first lady – apparently had her own doubts about the young Obama. She asked her brother Craig to check out Barack. Here’s a great passage from Christopher Andersen’s book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage:
Right after the game, Craig called Michelle with his verdict. “Your boy is straight,” he told her, “and he can ball.” (p. 126.)
Obviously, I wasn’t the only person in young Obama’s life who had questions about his sexual identity.

Whenever Obama is up in the polls the crazies come up with all sorts of conspiracies.

@John C. Drew, Ph.D.:
Out of context missy. The context is that he is a ‘straight-shooter’ and an upstanding guy, no straight as in not-gay.
Jeremy
Let me get this straight… It’s a tragedy if there are unsubstantiated rumors about Obama being spread BUT Harry Reid, a Democratic Senator, can say whatever he so chooses about the opposing candidate… without revealing any proof whatsoever and the media gives him a complete pass? No wonder this nation is on the verge of destruction. No wonder conservatives are always so angry. No wonder the American people threw Pelosi off the big chair last election. Liberal Democrats are the scum of the earth.
John C. Drew, Ph.D.
@Larkin:
Please… The context is that Michelle Robinson has just introduced young Obama to her family. I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase “straight” to mean “straight shooter.” By the way, the liberal author, David Maraniss, confirms in his new book, Barack Obama: The Story that both young Obama and young Chandoo where in the San Francisco area over Christmas break 1980. This verifies a key element of my story which was first published in February 2010. In my business, I work with people who have been sexually abused. Obama has a lot of the traits of a sexual abuse victim including his indecisiveness, aloofness, emotional distance, and lack of trust for others.
Matt
John C. Drew that’s typical homophobia and biphobia from Michelle. Then again this is all way too common with black women.

@Jeremy: RMoney can put the tax question to rest any time he wants to by releasing his tax returns like his father did. Conservatives are angry because they’re fucking nuts. I saw a comment on a “lamestream media” site where some Randoid was b*tching that “only people who pay taxes should be allowed to vote.” I feigned astonishment and replied that depriving Mitt RMoney of the right to vote was an extreme and unfair idea that even most Democrats wouldn’t go along with.
@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: Where do you see “indecisiveness” in Obama’s character as an adult? And if he had those other qualities you mention, when younger, he seems to have overcome them in his personal and family life – maybe even without the help of your profession. (I realize this must annoy you.)
And those other qualities in anyone’s professional life – “aloofness, emotional distance, and lack of trust for others” – are not usually considered problems at all, by anyone, and are not necessarily bad things for a president of the U.S. to have. In fact they’re fairly standard for politicians of all sorts. RMoney obviously has all those same qualities too, plus the indecisiveness in spades even now, so by your reasoning he “must” have been sexually abused also!
Tom
So Obama is now a gay, Muslim communist who was born in Kenya? Cool!
Kim
@Tom: Yeah he has my vote.
Kim
@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: In the black community saying he is straight in this context means he is a cool, standup guy.ie He is cool My man is straight.If she suspected he was gay she would have a gay male friend check him out to use his gaydar.That’s what I do .My brother could never spot a gay guy unless the guy was flaming, fitting the stereotype.Most heterosexual guys are clueless when it comes to identifing straight acting gay men . I know the term straight acting is not PC but you get my point.
John C. Drew, Ph.D.
@Kim:
Both Craig and Michelle Robinson are graduates of Princeton University from the 1980s. In those circles, saying someone is straight is simply a way of indicating their sexual orientation. It’s not like Craig was saying: “We straight?”

@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: I assumed from your previous statements that you were a psychotherapist of some kind. I’d avoided clicking on whatever bullsh*t your site would bring up, but now I see it has the following explanation of your pseudonym:
“John Drew is an award-winning political scientist who has taught American government and public policy at a few of our nation’s formerly prestigious institutions including Williams College.”
Compare to your comment #13: “In my business, I work with people who have been sexually abused.”
If even one person in your “business” (!) told you such a thing as a friend, he/she was making a serious mistake (because you’re quite a gossip). But you’re stating that you know several “people” like that in the course of your work.
How would a professor of political science know if “people” he “works with” have been sexually abused? Are you the Sexual Abuse HR Manager of [Prestigious] College? If they are casual co-workers of yours, they wouldn’t tell you, so how could you possibly know a thing like that?
John C. Drew, Ph.D.
@the other Greg:
My life is an open book. With a little additional research you’d see that I run a grant writing and program evaluation consulting firm now. A lot of the charities we work with assist adult survivors of child sex abuse. When I was a full-time professor at William College, I was one of five political scientists in the nation focusing on the field of child abuse and neglect. Politically, I’m an infrequent contributor at American Thinker, Breitbart, PJMedia and Front Page Magazine.
the other Greg
If your life is an open book, why do you need a pseudonym? With all those details, don’t a lot of people know your real name anyway? Or maybe this is the least adventurous Walter Mitty fantasy ever.
the other Greg
@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: I’m most puzzled by your contention, if that’s what it is, that Obama is unfit to be president because of your idle guess that he was the victim of childhood sexual abuse. Or at least, that voters wouldn’t accept someone with that past for high office?
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) has told in detail, both in interviews and in his book, of his own experience as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Maybe you still live in Massachusetts and voted for him.
The voters of Massachusetts were tremendously sympathetic to Brown, and after a week or two, the issue died down and is rarely if ever mentioned. Brown is now in a hotly contested battle for re-election. I read the Boston papers every day, as well as his hometown paper the Attleboro Sun-Chronicle, and I get Boston TV and news radio, and no one ever even brings up the subject.
So, do you think Sen. Brown is unfit for his current office, and/or for higher office?
(Ironically, he may owe his 2010 election as senator to a totally imaginary case of child sex abuse, the notorious and vile Fells Acres day care witch hunt, where many voters blamed Brown’s opponent Martha Coakley for callously keeping an innocent man in prison.)
I think it’s great that Sen. Brown displays NONE of the “traits of a sexual abuse victim including indecisiveness, aloofness, emotional distance, and lack of trust for others” that you claim to be standard, perhaps inevitable in such cases. (He is a rare politician that way, since most politicians have those traits anyway! Well, maybe not the indecisiveness.) I suspect you are in the “business” of keeping sex abuse victims feeling permanently helpless, which is bad enough from a trained therapist but inexcusable in a pompous busybody.

Obama did have a ped0 as a “mentor and father figure” and this was Frank Marshall Davis so it would not be surprising if someone was molested by Davis.
John C. Drew, Ph.D.
Unemployment is creeping up in 44 out of 50 states. I think that is more than enough to disqualify Obama for a second term. Meanwhile, Obama’s dishonesty about his past is cause for concern among many of us. It was a grave mistake for Obama’s grandparents to encourage a relationship between young Obama and the bisexual Frank Marshall Davis. The young Obama abused drugs and alcohol. (He kept smoking until he was 46.) Young Obama was a poor student who did not follow a clear career path. He wrote a poem about sharing an amber stain with his “pops.” I’m confident that in the future we will learn the full details about Obama’s relationship with the Communist party member Frank Marshall Davis and that the details will not be any more wholesome than what we already know.
Carlos
John C. Drew do you think that Frank Marshall Davis and Obama had sex together when Obama was an adult, or just that Davis taught Obama how to be rac ist and ignore the fact that he is half white/biracial?
John C. Drew, Ph.D.
@Carlos:
When I met young Obama he seemed entirely white. I’m among those who believe the young Obama did not have a black bone in his body.

He’s been called a Communist, A Muslim, A Gangster and even a murderer..but being called gay has to be the bottom of the barrel. That’s the worst thing you can call a man..only a being called a pedophile is worse..but it’s funny though if Obama really did have this happen it only gives more evidence that gay is a choice…

@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: For those of us still living in the real world — unemployment has gone DOWN over the past year in 44 states. That’s an easy stat to check. “Dr. Drew” or whatever his name is, is flat-out lying here and probably about everything else he’s imagining.

@the other Greg:
Here’s the article I’m referring to. http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/employment/story/2012-08-17/state-unemployment-rates-july/57117802/1
I don’t think it is fair for you to suggest I’m lying about unemployment statistics.
the other Greg
@John C. Drew, Ph.D.: If you bother to read the article you posted, you’ll see in the accompanying chart that unemployment has gone DOWN in 44 states from July 2011 to July 2012 – often dramatically so (e.g. Florida 10.6% to 8.8%, Michigan 10.6% to 9% etc.). Two states are unchanged over a year, and in only four did unemployment rise slightly. If USA Today wanted to claim that unemployment rose slightly in 44 states from June 2012 to July 2012, it’s curious they provided no chart about that and only a chart that debunks their entire article and headline.
So yes, I’m calling USA Today deliberately deceptive, and I’m calling you, as always in every subject, a liar.
