Can Obama out-Clinton the Clintons?

By Julia Gorin

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | More relevant than the question whether Bill Clinton was the first black president is the question: Is Barack Obama the second Billary?

Anti-Americanism, extra-marital oral sex, pandering to African-Americans, a mysterious death, Communism. Thanks to recent revelations, we could be talking about the Clintons -- or the Obamas.

As we know, anti-Americanism and anti-white pandering to blacks was the currency of the Clinton presidency and post-presidency. And Obama, whose mindset one won't easily convince thinking people to divorce from the man he chose and stuck to as his religious mentor, nodded to the sermons that called 9/11 the "chickens coming home to roost" for America. Yet the Obama-approved Wright was merely being more succinct than Bill Clinton was two months after 9/11 at Georgetown University:

First of all, terror...has a very long history.…Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery and slaves were, quite frequently, killed even though they were innocent. This country once looked the other way when significant numbers of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of as less than fully human and we are still paying the price today. Even in the 20th century in America people were terrorized or killed because of their race. And even today, though we have continued to walk, sometimes to stumble, in the right direction, we still have the occasional hate crime rooted in race, religion, or sexual orientation. So terror has a long history.…We have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don't claim for ourselves things that we deny for others.

Similarly, Hillary was speaking only a shade lighter than Wright's dark accusation that HIV was a U.S.-concocted disease to wipe out black people, when she said last June: "If HIV/AIDS were the leading cause of death of white women between the ages of 25 and 34, there would be an outraged outcry in this country."

There is also a dialect-shifting phenomenon that Hillary and Obama share when speaking at black churches, as the UK Telegraph's Tony Harnden wrote in March of last year: "Hillary tried an impression of a black preacher and it was clunky and embarrassing. Even to my British ear I could tell that the Southern twang was phony." And here is a 20-second video, with Obama giving his own impression of a black person.

The Clinton-Obama parallels go on. In several overly candid interviews, Michelle Obama made it clear who wears the pants around the Obama house. This was months before we heard the name Larry Sinclair, the man who is volunteering to submit to a lie detector test -- and calling upon Obama to do the same -- about a couple of coked-up sessions of oral sex by Sinclair on Obama in 1999, seven years into the Obama marriage. (And recall that coke has been part of Bill Clinton's life too.) Sinclair, his attorney, and others are planning to hold a press conference in Washington before month's end.

There are also some persistent rumors about gay sex during Obama's Harvard days, and last week the Drudge Report, after a prudent three-day delay, finally saw fit to link to a Reverend Manning, an occasional guest commentator on Fox News and others, who is suggesting a homosexual relationship between Obama and Wright -- though I'll leave that one alone.

While civil rights activist Andy Young has said that Bill Clinton has had sex with more black women than Obama has, it seems increasingly possible that Obama has had sex with more white men than Hillary Clinton has. Even without the gay rumors, Barack Obama doesn't exactly exude masculinity, regardless of how many enlightened bimbos agree to faint at his rallies. It all has me wondering whether those two daughters of his aren't actually Bill Clinton's.

And here we arrive at last week's issue of the supermarket tabloid Globe, which carried the headline "Bill's Fury over Hillary Sex Scandal":

Humiliated Bill Clinton has ordered Hillary to ditch the beautiful campaign aide who dragged her into a lesbian love scandal, sources say. In this shocking world exclusive, political insiders tell GLOBE berserk Bill told his wife she must choose between him or Huma Abedin, the sultry brunette whose presence at her side - day and night - sparked an explosion of gay rumors.

In connection with the gay Obama allegations, Globe also announced that we have our first dead body lining the Obama trail from Illinois to the White House -- although it's a much shorter trail so far than the one from Arkansas:

"Special Report - Obama caught up in Gay Murder Scandal!"

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has become tangled in a gay-murder probe rocking his controversial Chicago church as insiders ask: How much does he really know about the choir director's savage slaying? But a top Chicago private detective tells GLOBE he believes the shooting death of 47-year old Donald Young may be connected to Obama, who belongs to the church once headed by scandal-scarred preacher the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

"Donald Young was silenced because of something he knew about Obama," says the private investigator, who has connections to the police department's homicide unit.

Now Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who has been dogging Obama with claims he engaged in gay sex and drugs with the presidential candidate in 1999, says he has given cops shocking new evidence linking the Democratic White House hopeful to the baffling murder. Sinclair insists he had contact with Young shortly before the choir director was brutally killed. He says that each time, Young instigated the phone calls, which were made "not long" before the murder.

It remains to be seen whether Obama rumors prove as reliably true as most Clinton rumors did.

Finally, in addition to the common Clinton-Obama history of being the candidates supported by Communist Party USA, we're starting to hear the Clintonesque pro-Israel childhood stories from Obama:

Obama said his ideas about Israel date to the sixth grade, when he had a Jewish camp counselor who talked about how his people had been uprooted. Obama, the son of a Kenyan father who left the family when he was a toddler, said he identified with that feeling.

It slightly recalls this one from Clinton about what his Arkansas pastor W. O. Vaught supposedly said on his supposed deathbed at whose side Clinton supposedly was: "If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you."

Well, we see how well the recipient of that real or imagined warning heeded it, as evidenced by the Intifada II he brought us. Today, with Hamas actively campaigning for Obama, think of how much more progress this next Israel - "sympathizing" Billary will bring the region. However, let's keep in mind that Hillary's chances of snatching the Democratic nomination are still alive -- as her political career is resuscitated in the usual way: oral sex and a mysterious death.
