Obama’s Mysterious Special Friends

And a major hat tip to American Girl in Italy for bringing these pictures to the attention of the NQ writers.

How did we miss this before?

This picture and the accompanying story ran in a NY Times blog back on January 20, 2009, the week before the inauguration of Barack Obama. The pictures are puzzling and a bit amusing, the story is kind of interesting (in a yadayadayada kind of way), and the public comments are nauseating. I’ll try to summarize each of these elements, but I fear if I have to read some of those comments more than twice, I’ll likely be too queasy to finish.

Here we see our current president in a picture from his college days, sitting next to his self-professed best friend and roommate, Sohale Siddiqi. These photos were taken in 1981, according to the NYT article. And by the way, isn’t that sofa upholstery the same material as Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Day outfit?

And who took the picture? Obama’s other roommate, Phil Boerner, who was the voluntary source of these pictures and was interviewed for the blog article in NYT from January. His picture is below, but please don’t peek ahead!

Here is a quote from that blog:

Mr. Boerner, who lives in California and is a registered Democrat, said he had kept his recollections to himself during the campaign, but thought he would share them now as his friend makes history.

Who are these people? Where have they been? And where are they now? And more importantly, what did they have to hide during the campaigns?

Is either of them married? Are they normal family men now, successful in their careers? Can they pass a UA?

Why were they silent and unknown during the election? Did someone “ask” them to hide in spider holes until after the election? Was a hint of cement shoes involved?

Is it just me, or does this seem kind of hinky? We’ve been asking each other and the world for the last year, “Where are Obama’s friends from his youth?” And, like our questions about his school records and other documentation from his adult past, those questions go unanswered. Even the crickets are mum.

Why the HELL didn’t the NYT, or any mainstream media, find and interview these guys and other people from Obama’s life when it counted most!?! During the election!

Why are we just now seeing this and hearing about his college roommates? The NYT buries it in a blog, and no other major media has done stories on Obama roommates and friends from his past. Why the hell not?

The answer is obvious. The MSM was protecting Obama.

We count on the media to investigate politicians. What they did to Sarah Palin was not that unusual for yellow journalism. However, there was a complete breach of faith and goodwill from the vast majority of major media; they made no attempt to vet Barack Obama. Instead, they became part of his team, labeling all the vetting questions as racist, right wing, and/or lunatic fringe. Meanwhile, they pass off their partisan opinions as neutral news.

And out of Obama’s whole academic and young adult life, not one single friend came forward at any of his campaign appearances, that I know of. Were these guys, or any other old friends from his youth, invited to the Inauguration? Or were they told to STFU?

Was Obama invisible for ten years? Didn’t he have any friends besides these two? Was he the original model for “The 40-year-old Virgin?”

So far, we still don’t know.

If I won the lottery or got famous, I’m absolutely confident that I’d be hearing from dozens of old friends from school days and beyond. Whether to ask for money or simply to share the spotlight, I know they’d be showing up. But not for the most popular president in history! Apparently he only knew these two guys.

Obama included Siddiqi in his book “Dreams of My Father,” referring to him as Sadik. Several sources I found used this description, or similar words:

Obama describes Saddiqi as “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana and snorted cocaine. Siddiqi was from Karachi, Pakistan and came to America from London on a tourist visa. He overstayed his visa, becoming an illegal alien.

Well-built? This is what Obama considers buff? He looks a bit, you know, frail to me. But then I wasn’t his roomie. Perhaps he was referring to a part of his anatomy not visible in this photo.

OK, that was a low blow. But speaking strictly for myself, if I was one of the guys on that sofa, there’d be some space between us. Pose or no pose.

This Sadik guy is worth a little research. I offer this link only as a suggestion for further reading about him, not as an endorsement of the sources. But I do advise you read up on him to help put their relationship into perspective.

Now it’s time to check out the picture of his other former roommate, Phil Boerner. He looks like he has Asperger’s Syndrome, like Jerry “Hands” Espenson, a character on Boston Legal (damn, I miss that show!). If you’re not familiar with Jerry, he keeps his hands clasped to the tops of his thighs most of the time, even while walking. It’s part of his Asperger’s Syndrome. I don’t know if the roomie pictured here has the syndrome, but his posture looks a bit odd to me. Maybe he’s just a dweeb. Or possibly a dork.

Left: This is Obama’s other roommate, Phil Boerner, in a photo he says was taken by Barack Obama in 1981. That’s probably why it’s fuzzy. Right: Jerry “Hands” Espenson, a character on Boston Legal, played by Christian Clemenson. And yes, he’s standing on his desk. He jumped up there in one hop.

OK, that’s enough of the photos. Let’s review the article they came from. And then we’ll deal with some of the comments posted when the article ran in January, if I don’t upchuck on my keyboard first.

This article, based on Boerner’s recollections, does not say that Sohale Siddiqi was a roommate of Obama and Boerner, but nearly every source I could find stated that Obama and Sohale Siddiqi were roommates while Obama attended Columbia University in NYC, at the time these photos were taken.

Anyway, this article doesn’t even mention “Sadik,” but focuses instead on Phil Boerner, who stated that Obama was his roommate “for a semester.” I suppose there could easily have been three of them living together, but then this article states:

Though the two men stayed in touch, the housing arrangement ended that winter. Mr. Boerner thinks the leaseholder took the apartment back. Mr. Obama recalled in his memoir giving up the place “for lack of heat.”

Or maybe they were kicked out for other reasons. Mr. Boerner doesn’t seem to recall. Could it have been drug use? The illegal alien? Jealousy? I’m just asking myself these questions, not insinuating anything, mind you.

Boerner also recalls “Museums. Jogging in the park. Breakfasts at Tom’s on Broadway, not yet the celebrated hangout of Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza.” Hey, what about Elaine and Kramer? You can’t break up a set!

And “They listened to reggae. Bob Marley. Peter Tosh.” Gee, I used to love Bob Marley, too. I remember those pictures of him smoking those huge “spliffs,” or cigar-sized marijuana joints. And those lovely Bob Marley lyrics, like this line from Talking Blues, “And I feel like bombing a church, now that I know that the preacher is lying.” That’s a real quote, folks, just so you know.

And Boerner also recalled, “Some nights Mr. Obama would whip up some chicken curry, a dish he learned from a Pakistani friend. Other meals were at Tom’s.” Hmmm. A Pakistani friend? I wonder who that would be. Oh, I know! It must have been Babu!!

babu_bhatt2

OK, let’s move on to the comments. Seriously, I’m provoking my own gag reflex here, so I hope it’s not contagious! Please, don’t read any further if you have a full stomach or are eating. Especially if it’s curry!

I have already given a citation for the original article, so you can read them all there, if you are inclined. And since I have cited the original, I don’t feel obliged to give “credit” or blame, in the way of giving the names of commenters quoted here. And I don’t mean to be overly dramatic about it. These comments are probably no worse than others you’ve seen in the last few months, but I was just so stunned seeing them with barely any rebuttal from sane people. So here are a few samples:

We have a President who befriended white guys from the Catskills and shared smokes with Pakistani students as a college student. That is severely cool.

Oh, yes!  Severely, if not catastrophically!

Obama has the psychological make-up of major world leader, let’s hope it’s for the good.

You can tell by the way he snuggles up to Pakistanis.

What humility, what heart, what a mind. I am in awe that we, the American people, finally picked a good one. Tears well in my eyes every time I look at him and his beautiful family. Let’s really get behind him and do what’s right.

Where’s my Mylanta?

He will be THE BEST, he is a true human being.

Oh, jeez, I hope I can make it to the bathroom!

Interesting, I never quite realized how pathetic the Obama-haters could actually get until reading this utter cowflop. The answer: whatever I expected times five. I strongly suggest you folks actually try to get some lives. What next, his Kenyan birth certificate was under the Pizza Box?

This is starting to rival Clinton-hatred only worse.

His former roommate is quoted as calling him “Mr. Obama? Does anyone else have a roommate that would refer to them as “Mister”?

 
 

Comment by memi | 2009-07-12 14:18:47

On THE VIEW Obummer was nervous nellying himself on the couch squeezed in between….ughie ewww…WOMEN who obviously made him very very extremely uncomfortable!
Even Jay Leno (his fan club cheerleader) had a segment from The View asking why Obummer seemed to adjust his pants, jacket and seem generally ever so disturbed being tooooooo CLOSE TO THE WOMEN ON THE VIEW.

He sure as hell is NOT nervous sitting beside the WELL-BUILT PAKISTANI “roommate”.

Michelle’s such a great cover!….

Comment by Lily | 2009-07-11 21:46:18

We voters do deserve to know everything there is to know about Obama’s friends and associates. This article is the first bit of gossip aside by Larry Sinclair that I have run across in the past two years. I checked out the Sadiq link and found it even more revealing than the photo. According to the info in the link, Obama first met Sadik at Occidental as the friend of some other Pakistani acquaintances. Obama and Sadik became roommates when Obama shortly thereafter transferred to Columbia, even though Sadik was not a student and entered US on a tourist visa. He was a drug user, became an illegal alien, and, despite all that, is still living in this country. Of course, we have to ask, what is there about Sadik that would make him such a desirable roommate? The overall picture doesn’t suggest any good or redeeming qualities on Obama’s part to me. Unless…Obama was a budding spy milking his Pakistani friends for everything he could get out of them and vice versa for Sadik.

My Gaydar started failing after I turned 40 – but I got to say that first pic revved it back up.

They do look very chummy. Where is Larry Sinclair when you need him?

Also – I felt it was so odd that when the Gay leaders met BHO in the WH last month that Michelle was there – and looking for all the world like an enforcer.

Comment by shannon | 2009-07-12 00:44:18

re: sinclair – Not that I follow what’s going on with him, but he has self-published a book and it has started shipping. Maybe this guy wasn’t such a fraud after all??

I noticed Michelle at that event also – standing right behind him… when has she done that at other events like that? It totally seemed like an “I’m not gay, look, I have a wife!” kind of thing…

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-12 16:06:24

Sara, reading your comment, I just had a mental image of the White House dog, BO, being symbolic of B.O., with Michelle straining to hang onto the leash while the dog pulls against her.

I think she keeps a pretty tight leash on her own BO, in other words. :D

When I allow myself to think about what the MSM and the DNC did to Hillary and to our nation I could just scream my head off. I hope with all my being that Howler Dean and Donna Brazil-nut fall as long and hard as 0-bla-bla will — the sooner the better.
They better find a huge rock to crawl under when the truth finally surfaces about BO–the biggest fraud to ever occupy the White House.

 

Comment by Retired | 2009-07-11 22:17:39

Obama may well turn out to be the biggest presidential deception by the press since the concealment of FDR’s physical disabilities. Let’s face it: The first black President with a southern accent who is really a mostly white guy from Hawaii now turns out to be an anti-gay gay guy as well. No wonder Hollywood loves him. What a fantastic idea for a film! I hear that they’re lining up Sacha Baron Cohen for the Obama role.

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-11 23:57:48

The media fog may be starting to lift. It was always a rather selective fog however. It didn’t even exist for people with a lick of common sense. For the touchy feely Obots it has been as thick as pea soup.

I’ve spent many long years in college atmospheres, and was well aquainted with ALL circles of students, from the hard core druggies, to the deep evangelists. From the first time I witnessed Obama, I had a pretty good idea what type of person he was, and nothing he has said or done so far has been in conflict with my first impressions. He is the type of person that has slightly above average intelligence, but he has devoted the entirety of that intelligence and his energy into a well practiced act that gives the casual observer the impression that he much brighter than he truly is, and he knows how to champion ethics and morals that he completely lacks. Remember Eddie Haskell?

Anyway, I could go into an analysis of just how the presidential vetting process completely failed this last election, and how such a breakdown was never envisioned by the founding fathers, but there is an even more disturbing question that this article has reminded me of that I would like answered:

Isn’t a traditional man/woman relationship possible even if Obama might be a woman trapped in a man’s body, and Michelle is a man trapped in a woma……..hmmmmmm, maybe I’ll have to rethink the basic premise of my question. I’ll get back to ya’all later on this.

Comment by mdmdstork | 2009-07-12 09:51:36

Speaking of Eddie Haskell, I once heard that Obama’s fellow students at Harvard had the Obamamometer. This was to rate suck-up comments by other students in relation to the king of suck-ups. I haven’t heard this since early in the primaries , buy it would be interesting to see if it’s true.

Comment by Arabella Trefoil | 2009-07-12 10:25:32

Yeah, I’ve heard that one too. And I believe it.

Comment by Chicago Joe | 2009-07-13 12:50:31

I cannot believe I have never heard that before, given that I have been obsessed with reading everything about him since the primaries. Can you give a source?

Comment by Chicago Joe | 2009-07-13 12:56:18

suspense. Turns out that this writer knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who went to Harvard Law with B. Hussein Obama Jr., and, the story goes, such was Barry’s monumental capacity for sucking up to his professors that the “Obamamometer” was established to calibrate and quantify the most egregious, shameless brown-nosing, and it quickly became the gold standard of Uriah Heep-dom in Cambridge, Mass. “That was a 10 on the Obamamometer,” the Harvard men and women would whisper when someone rose to the unctuous level of Barry at his best. Who knows, maybe they still do.

Comment by lorac | 2009-07-12 19:38:07

Being gay does not mean wanting to be the opposite sex. Sexuality and gender orientation are two totally separate things. And people not wanting to adhere to the narrow gender role definition proscribed by society doesn’t mean that they are gay *or* want to change their gender. And if it’s true that BO had gay relationships in his youth, it doesn’t mean he’s gay. He could also be straight (many people experiment) or he could be bisexual.

I can’t stand BO or MO, but I don’t get where all this wondering about their gender identity is coming from. Haven’t people been fighting for 40 years so that we (women and men) can be human, be ourselves, instead of having to fit into a narrow, proscribed gender role….? It’s like we’ve flashed back to 1950, and if someone isn’t perfectly feminine or perfectly masculine, they must be gay or want to change their gender….?

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-12 22:28:09

Wow lorac, you should preface such postings with a “Wet blanket alert”.

After thinking about this picture for a day now, I have reduced my need to know level to the point where the answer to a single question would quench my curiosity. However, I doubt there are any reporters out there intrepid enough to ask Obama, “Does Siddiqi’s mustache tickle?”

Well Steve, a picture is worth, you know, like a whole bunch of words, and the pic of Barack and Sohale speaks volumes, as they say in clichespeak.

And just to save any Osupporters the effort, I’ll help them out: “Nothing to see here. Move On.” Okay. Toodleooo!

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-11 23:06:47

oowawa, for some reason your comment prompted me to go to the source article and save it to my hard drive, just in case the NYT takes it down. I recommend others to do the same. We have already seen how some online articles and pictures seem to disappear when they get too much attention.

Folks with plenty of hard drive, save the source article and/or screen shots. It may not be there Monday.

Comment by tango | 2009-07-11 22:36:03

I bet they didn’t spill any secrets about Obama because he has ones about them too. It’s quite possible they all did drugs togather and Sadik was the person who got the drugs for them to use.

If you live in California, have an acquaintance who introduces you to a third person, you’d have to have some mighty strong things in common with the third person to move across country and room with him. Not that that’s necessarily why Obama moved, but it does seem strange how they met in California but roomed togather shortly afterwards in New York.
If nothing else, they hit it off well enough to exchange contact information to meet up later when Obama moved to NY.

Lastly, my gaydar has always pinged when it comes to Obama.

 

Comment by TeakWoodKite | 2009-07-11 22:43:06

Stoned out of his gord and mirror with the lines is just of camera no doubt.

If I was sitting so close to someone with a cigette burning away like this photo shows, I would not be sitting in that pose.

One of the most remarkable photos I have seen and thaat has been a hoppy collecting BO pictures from his youth.

The picture is very telling in many ways. You know how much this confirms that BO is a burner?

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-12 00:25:28

TWK, I’m kind of surprised others haven’t commented so far about Obama looking stoned. Back in the day, I saw that dopey look on many friends, so I know it well. He did admit drug use in his own book, so that’s not a huge surprise. But seeing that look on his face… that’s rather telling, IMO.

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-12 00:44:14

Of course he’s stoned Steve. I’m sure he would still get stoned if the oportunity presented itself. It’s part of the charm that he oozes.

The wonderful phrase that “In America, anyone can become President”, used to mean that there were no obstacles that should prevent truly great and inspiring individuals from achieving the highest post on the land. Now it just means anyone, including the lowest gutter filth, can get the job, especially if a majority of the electorate wallow in that same gutter.

Comment by Frannie | 2009-07-11 22:51:53

The obots know about his past, but toooooo shame to admit it. Larry Sinclair has been screaming for more than a year about their past drug usage, but the media refused to report it. Where there has been smoke, there is fire which follows. When a man hides all of his past friends, college records, birth records, school records, etc. he truly has some very bad things he wants hidden. Even obots should have been concerned when no one came forward during his rise to power. Who really backed him and why?

Comment by mary | 2009-07-12 14:28:03

Where can we order the Larry Sinclair book.

He apparently sent it express to Michelle Obama who has her own copy!

Fascinating article and no one needs to apologize. Learned a new word too – hinky – and perfectly used here.

Comment by mary | 2009-07-12 14:36:16

The article on BOEHNER is revealing!!
Of course, all you have to do is look to his inset photo and learn he took Obummer to meet his grandparents so they had a very close relationship (yes, gay, and there’s nothing wrong with it) these two. Of course, later being the 80s, they both sought cover by marrying….a WOMAN. They’re still married to the same women.

But if you read Boehner’s article it reads like a Eulogy on Obummer! Fascinating how he praises his exlover, and fellow-nerd……now he’s a public relations guy for a..Veterinary place!

Ah, to be the ex-gay-coke-snorting Prez of the dummest nation on earth…

 
 

Comment by tango | 2009-07-11 23:19:00

And pay attention to where the papers/magazines/etc and pillows are next to Obama. That means noone was sitting there. So unless Obamas friend squeezed in at the last moment to get in the shot (which seems unlikely since he’s lounging back with his legs crossed which indicates leisure, not quick scooting in to get in a photo) those two were sitting quite cozy next to each other for some time.

 

Comment by Patience | 2009-07-11 23:24:18

FYI John Boerner is married with a couple of kids, according to this article:

http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/jan_feb09/alumni_corner

To me, what’s in the photos that could possibly set off gaydar (besides the cozy seating arrangement) would be the cat poster on the wall and all of the plants!

Comment by tillthen | 2009-07-11 23:28:59

Does anyone here think that the MSM will one day delve into the Larry Sinclair affair? Do you think it will happen?

Although his past is downright egregious, I believe his story.

A Marine once told me over 60 years ago, when I was young boy, that when you tell the truth, you can hang in there all day long (his words), and that describes Sinclair perfectly since he began his efforts to get his story out there. It’s when you lie that the words don’t come so easily and the veneer melts away. Obummo, The Strawman, would crumble if faced with a press corps asking tough questions. Pelosi in her CIA speech is a perfect example. I’m still LMFAO over that one. Wasn’t that loony background music perfect?

Yes, indeed, the truth doth make you strong. Godspeed, Larry Sinclair. Your day will come.

Comment by American Girl in Italy | 2009-07-12 16:34:53

People used Larry Sinclair’s *shady background* to deny his claims, calling him all kinds of names, etc. “he would never touch that coke head, liar, sleaze bag, f*g, law breaker… yada yada*

But yet a mere decade earlier Obama chose to live with a coke head, living here illegally, who lied to rent his apt., didn’t have a job, is gay…

They even scoffed at Larry naming the limo driver, Multani. From what I could find, Multani is a Pakistani name.

They also claimed Obama hadn’t done drugs since HS, but according to Obama and Siddiqi, Obama was still doing coke and pot up until his third year in college. And just because you stop doing drugs regularly doesn’t necessarily mean you never do them again.

Not a single friend or acquaintance from O’s school daze or early business years came forward in support during the campaign.

I kept mentioning that to people during the campaign and asking why we never heard from anyone from his past (except for one guy who was a friend at Harvard – forget his name). It reminds of GW Bush – nobody from his National Guard days ever came forward to validate his claims about his service.

Fox interviewed over 400 people, students and professors, who had been at Columbia the Same time Obama supposedly was. No one person remembers Obama, or ever seeing him.

Having taught college THAT is very unusual. Why is it that no one remembers him, other than these questionable dweeds? Could it be that he actaully enrolled somewhere else, and snuck in for a few Columbia classes?

Doing that was not unheard of back in the 1980’s. Students going to a lesser rank school, would sometimes “audit” classes at a more prestigious college w/o the colleges knowledge.

Comment by Johnny Smithfield | 2009-07-12 21:28:33

From the “liberal” Murdoch owned NY Sun:

http://www.nysun.com/new-york/obamas-years-at-columbia-are-a-mystery/85015/

“Federal law limits the information that Columbia can release about Mr. Obama’s time there. A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades is sealed. A program from the 1983 graduation ceremony lists him as a graduate.”

He did attend Columbia. Sorry Nellie.

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-12 01:10:11

How could Obama call an obvious weenie like Siddiqi “well built” in his book? I can think of two possibilities. 1. Obama didn’t write the book (this is likely) or 2. Obama wanted to elevate the image of his former boytoy. Of course, both possibilities are not exclusive of each other.

I’ve recently stopped asking “How the hell did this happen?!” I’m now sure I know the answer, and it indicates a very destructive pathway that this country is wandering down.

David Brooks said he sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and [the senator] had his hand on [Brooks] inner thigh the whole time.

The picture makes you wonder if Brooks was talking about Obama when Obama was a senator, and Brooks said republican instead of democrat to conceal Obama’s identity.

Comment by Patience | 2009-07-12 11:30:05

I just read about this. First of all, why didn’t Brooks do something about it, like shift his position or excuse himself to use the bathroom, etc? What does it say about HIM that he allowed it to continue?

Off the top of my head, I’m guessing it was either Senator Graham, Hatch, McConnell or [former senator] Lott.

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-12 22:39:18

For one thing, I can’t even begin to count how many times I have seen Hillary called a lesbian as a derogatory insult to her, both by professional commentators and zealous Obama supporters. If she were a lesbian, I would expect her to admit it, just as I expect BO to admit his lies about his past, his sexual orientation, and his drug usage.

I don’t see any homophobia on display here, nor bigotry. What I see, and what I feel, is a deep sense of betrayal by the media to search Obama’s background before they jumped on his bandwagon.

Do I delight in finding what appears to be evidence of his past homosexual relationships or proclivities? Yes, I do! I would be just as delighted to find that he didn’t graduate from college, was not born a US citizen, or was continuing to use drugs as an adult.

I am not against drug users, I am not against foreigners, nor am I against (or phobic about) homosexuals.

What I am against is a blatant liar as president. I am against a wall of silence from the vast majority of major media sources whose responsibility it is to investigate and vet those who seek to become our elected leaders.

And I am personally against Obama supporters who will defend this asshole no matter what lies he has told about his past, his proclivities, or his true place of birth.

And most of all, I am against Obama supporters who come to blogs that are known to be antipathetic toward him, with the sole purpose of being disruptive and insulting the readers here. Especially when they are as clueless as you seem to be.

Comment by Naomi | 2009-07-13 01:50:58

Comment by whoframedrudy | 2009-07-12 03:49:14

O obviously doesn’t mean Sadik is ‘well-built’ in the Arnold Schwarzenegger sense. Obama could mean Sadik was ‘built like a Brick House’ like the old Commodore’s song:

He’s a brick—-house!
Mighty mighty!
Just lettin’ it all hang out
He’s a brick—-house!
The boy is stacked and that’s a fact,
he ain’t holding nothing back.

He’s the one, the only one,
who’s built like a ama-ka-zon.
He’s a brick—-house!”

Comment by lorac | 2009-07-12 19:20:47

I thouht “brickhouse” in that song meant an overweight woman….? (big front, big butt)

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-12 19:50:00

lorac, I never took “overweight” to be the meaning of the song, IMO. I directly linked it in my mind to the common phrase, “She’s built like a brick shithouse,” meaning “very solid” in literal interpretation, but meaning “stacked” in normal usage. I believe male users of the phrase added the scatological word “shit” simply because it added punch to the lewdness.

With some men’s fondness for large bottoms on women, I think your “big front, big butt” description still fits.

However, the song also says “She’s built like an Amazon,” which I think was more for the rhyme than the literal meaning. :)

Anyway, I always understood it to mean “she’s stacked,” like bricks.

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-12 20:05:20

The song is obviously a coded message to all of the Masons and is part of a directive toward the NWO. It came out about the same time as “Boogie Knights” that was a rally cry for the Knights Templar.

This is hilarious, thanks for the laughs.

“gaydar?” That’s a new one to me. But, I had to laugh, because it’s exactly my first impression from the photo:

They’re sitting awfully close to each other.

Who knows? Well…someone knows, that’s for sure. Ha. But, they’re not telling.

But, it really is curious that NONE of this was covered during the primary, the election, or until now.

As far as Sinclair, I’m not sure I know what to think about his sordid tale. I think it’s quite possible that Obama has a dark past, otherwise, why would he have hidden past friends, grades, birthplace, etc? Sinclair’s story, if true, would certainly be explosive, not least as an indictment of the media who’ve covered for Obama so diligently.

And, why, after all, did Biden’s son arrest Sinclair? Why would they need to shut him up, if there weren’t something they wanted to hide?

These questions are always in the back of my mind….

Only an attack if you consider being gay or lesbian a bad thing.
What is being attacked is the shrouding of his past and if he is gay the hypocrisy of his stance on DOMA and Don’t Ask.
I wouldn’t doubt for a minute that he used his sexual orientation like he does everything else to get something then threw it under the bus.

Frankly, BO’s sexual experiences/preferences and pot smoking are his business. Lots of young adults do things that are contrary to “acceptable” behavior.
However, I am concerned about the complete lack of a verifiable personal history, paper trail or testaments from former friends.
Every effort to vet this man was stymied by his lawyers, the DNC, power brokers, and the fawning MSM.
How does a man literally “spring” into existence, fully formed, with a perfectly crafted life story? Seems like a script from a movie, made of whole cloth created and in the mind of a very talented writer.

Comment by oowawa | 2009-07-12 13:58:56

Well, according to Siddiqi, he and Barack were both quite the hunters for female prey in the bars:

Siddiqi said his female friends thought Obama was “a hunk.”

“We were always competing,” he said. “You know how it is. You go to a bar and you try hitting on the girls. He had a lot more success. I wouldn’t outcompete him in picking up girls, that’s for sure.”

Comment by oowawa | 2009-07-12 14:23:01

Do you think maybe Siddiqi might have been told–”there are going to be people coming to interview you . . . ” Do you think he might have been preparing some appropriate answers?

 

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-12 15:20:56

Several things come to mind about them “picking up girls” that pretty much negate the idea that this proves their heterosexuality.

First off, my beloved gay uncle was the best dancer in town, and the women loved him to death. He’s charming, handsome, and had all the right moves. But he’s never been intimate with a woman, as far as I know.

Secondly, I have known many men who had sexual relationships with women, but were vain pretty-boys, often more effeminate than their female partners. One woman I know who dated one of these “guys” confided in me that her “boyfriend” could never achieve orgasm with her. I knew these men from nightclubs, where they also were known as good dancers, handsome to a fault, graceful, and vain.

Picking up girls and even getting married to dominant women are common covers for “closet” gays.

Again, I wish to point out that I have no problem with gay men being gay. I do have a problem with people lying about who they are and what they have been and done.

I have an even bigger problem with media reporters burying controversial stories on their favored candidate while virtually inventing negative stories out of whole-cloth about candidates they dislike. The conspiracy behind the Obama coverups is worthy of class-action lawsuits for breach of public trust.

Comment by oowawa | 2009-07-12 16:02:17

Agreed. Siddiqi’s posturing doesn’t convince. I distrust anything that comes out of the O-Hunk myth-making factory. The remark about O’s superiority in the competition of “picking up girls” sounds to me like a contrived overstatement that was made for a purpose. Who knows!?!?

Comment by WMCB | 2009-07-12 20:11:08

Obama also, in his book, makes a big point of talking about a scantily clad girl sitting on the table when he first went to the apt.

Very interesting that in any public statement concerning this Siddiqi, a deliberate point is made to bring “I like girls! Girls are sexy” into it.

*shrug* I could care less if he’s gay, straight, bi, metro, whatever. But I know from both observation and personal experience that closeted men can be some of the most vicious creatures on the planet.

Comment by TeakWoodKite | 2009-07-12 20:22:41

WMCB, I always wonder what makes some folks tick, and BO’s conflicted immorality leads him to acts of indifference.

Can you imagine being a boy in Indonesia and not being accepted by he others?

His self identity was never developed to any sense of self awareness.

I would love to see the Russian psycological brief Putin had to work from.

Putin is sitting there a knows thatuntil recently BO had no clue what had been going on and what Panette confirming.

Comment by I'm a Linda too | 2009-07-12 19:02:50

Obama describes Saddiqi as “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana and snorted cocaine. Siddiqi was from Karachi, Pakistan and came to America from London on a tourist visa. He overstayed his visa, becoming an illegal alien.

Well-built? This is what Obama considers buff?

lmao, but remember, when Obama employed the services of Larry Sinclair, he was very thin, too. Obama likes small tight butts apparently. Which also explains his glance at the 16 year old in Italy. Maybe it’s the difference of feminist and masculine, small and thin is feminine to him, and large and big is masculine. i guess it depends on his mood. :)

However, I am most interested in your blogname, and I looked up this character in The Milagro Beanfield War:

when Onofre lost his arm yet quite a few explanations or myths had grown up around it. Onofre takes great pleasure in tipping his hat to the ladies with his nonexistent hand (a trick of the scalp) and, it seems, Onofre’s phantom arm gets credit for most of the anonymous shenanigans around town. If a young girl returns home from a date without her panties, El Brazo de Onofre is blamed. If somebody’s goat drops dead one night – El Brazo. Mothers of small children coerce their children into obedience not by threatening a late visit by El Cucuy but rather a visitation by El Brazo de Onofre

How fitting that I should be outed on this particular thread! Si, you soy el Brazo de Onofre, solamente un brazo que vivo sin un cuerpo. Nada mas.

Well, El Brazo, I’m very glad you’re here.

Do you like the music of Cuco Sanchez?

I’ve discovered that a slight deviation from the common vernacular helps to defeat the gaping maw of the spam filter. Perhaps coprophagous is straying a bit too far, but still: Describing Obama’s famous smile as a “coprophagous grin” confers a certain sophistication to the description. And if this causes many bots to scratch their heads in confusion, the loss of hair is worth my efforts.

this all has been educating and interesting. :)

One more thing Oowawa, I didn’t think there was such a thing as an “ex” Marine. Thanks for your service! I wish I could have served, but since I’m only a disembodied arm, I failed the physical.

Comment by oowawa | 2009-07-12 23:45:00

Thanks. You’re right, El Brazo. The first thing they told us in boot camp–”Once a Marine, always a Marine.” Now I feel like a character in a detective novel–Michael Connelly or Ross MacDonald. Everything goes back a long ways. I see the old pics of Obama, and I feel like I’m Lew Archer or Harry Bosch trying to figure things out. I can’t believe we’ve gotten to this point. What’s happening now has roots way in the past, and hardly anybody seems to be interested in investigating it except the folks here on NQ. The “4th Estate” has gone missing.

I’m amazed at the juvenile level of both the story and the majority of the posters. Larry, if this is the level of your thinking and that of your friends, it’s no wonder our CIA is such a disaster.

You made sense when you were defending Valerie Plame, but since the primaries you have lost any claim to
intelligence. Time to leave 5th grade name-calling and sexual inuendo behind, and act like an adult.

Comment by oowawa | 2009-07-12 22:29:24

Didn’t see any hint of Larry Johnson on this post–is he supposed to reign us all in? Was there anything on this post that made you think it was beyond the realm of free speech? What, in particular, is your objection? And what does the CIA and Valerie Plame have to do with anything that was said in this thread?

 

Comment by Onofre's arm | 2009-07-12 22:37:19

Aww, Justina, since most other blogs are infantile, juvenile is a compliment. I’m sure by Fall we’ll advance to sophomoric. That is, unless you keep contributing.

OOOHHHH, it’s another one name concern troll. Blame, blame, blame, whine, whine, whine.

Oh Justina is just so much smarter and in the know than anyone else OR is just making that five bucks an hour working for dear leader.

Justina, do you seriously think what your doing is making a difference? Why are dear leader’s numbers tanking? Because you are making a difference? Run away to bot bootcamp, now. Please.

My teenaged daughter looked over my shoulder last night at the first photo. She had no idea who was in the photo because she said to me “who’s the gay guys?” When I told her it was Obama and his college roommate, her eyebrows shot up.

Comment by I'm a Linda too | 2009-07-12 23:16:58

lmao YEP

Hubby and I just did an experiment. We sat that close together and laughed. The only time we sit that close together is when we’re goofing around and my legs end up going over him. I want to see the next shot that WASN’T released. lol

Comment by Steve_in_KC | 2009-07-13 00:15:27

That’s funny, Linda!

I also had commented to the other NQ writers in private that “I don’t even sit THAT close to my own wife, unless I’m trying to get her “in the mood.”

And your other comment about BO moving his head away not adding “space,” is similar to another impression I had of the body language on display. Moving his head actually adds distance between their heads (including the all-important eyes), but not between their buttocks, which are way too close together.

It reminds me of our cat who sticks her head under the upholstery flap at the bottome of the sofa and thinks we can’t see her because she can’t see us. Playing ostrich, so to speak.

I think on a subconscious level, Obama is literally trying to add space between them without moving his butt over a few inches. Note I said “subconscious.” I think it’s instinctive that he added distance, kind of like a teenage boy always instinctively jerks hands off his girlfriend’s body when he sees or hears her dad approaching. It’s survival instinct. :D

Comment by I'm a Linda too | 2009-07-13 00:57:22

lmao EXACTLY.

 

Comment by I'm a Linda too | 2009-07-13 01:00:26

I was just reading hubby your comment and he chimed in before I could finish “because it can’t see you. That’s cute.” lol

You know, they are sitting uncomfortably close. That explains the “well built” description from Obama. I do’t sit that close next to a male friend. And Obama tilting his head away for a photo doesn’t add space between them.

I wonder what Larry Sinclair’s take is on this picture?

Comment by tillthen | 2009-07-13 19:21:30

Fifteen months ago, I made a mild gay allusion to the Fraud, and thus, became the target of a PC attack and if I remember correctly, Larry led it. I didn’t respond. That remark was nothing compared to what is going on at this board today. To add to the irony, I’m gay. My, what a difference a year can make. The revulsion for this POS must have snowballed since. I was already maxed out back then. I guess I was ahead of my time. Really.

Their hands are entwined. I loaded the pic onto my desktop for a better look. Their hands are laced together with a cigaret on top of Siddiqi’s knee. Check it out and see if I’m wrong.

 

Comment by Cat in NJ | 2009-07-14 00:10:16

I thought it was strange to see that recent photo of Obama ogling a European teenage girl’s ass. So unlike him.

 

Comment by BuzzisbackLatte | 2009-07-14 00:23:32

I don’t know if they’re holding hands but it certainly looks like Obama’s friend has too many fingers. LOL!
