Barack Obama Is Gay: A Reverend Said It So It Must Be True

And he says that Oprah is the next Secretary of State--something to look forward to. What do these allegations seem far-fetched or something?

I have decent Gaydar and Barack Obama hasn't triggered any sirens. As discussed before, though, Mr. Obama isn't the manliest of men and doesn't inspire a tremendous amount of kick-ass confidence. Now, his wife Michelle? She scares me. There's no question who would win in a cage-match with that woman. Good money is on her.

What Barack Obama has that inspires so many, besides the awe-inspiring rhetoric, is the androgynous sexiness of a rock star like Prince. People can project their sexuality, their beliefs, their hopes, their everything on this man. He's neither black nor white, male nor female, aggressive nor passive, gay nor straight. He is everything and nothing at the same time.

Will allegations of gayness stick? No. First, it's not true and ridiculous on its face. Second, nothing sticks because nothing can stick to Obama because there has to be something for anything to stick. Can the all-beingness last all the way through the election? Maybe. I keep thinking that he'll have to come up with something, anything, to convince voters he's worthy of a vote, but maybe not. McCain is annoying enough that just existing as an alternative might be enough to succeed.
