Pope, who knew Obama as "Barry" while he was living in Hawaii, says she spent a lot of time hanging out with him during that time. She says she met the president in 1977 when she was about 13 or 14 years old, and although he was a few years older than her, they ran in the same circle of friends, hanging out around town and spending time on the beach in Waikiki.

"During those years, during the summertime, we as neighborhood kids, we would sort of hang out. We all sort of knew each other's business," Pope told Dr. Manning. "He always portrayed himself as a foreign student, that didn't mean that much to me then, but that's just what we knew about him."

"He very much was within the gay community, which there is a thriving, even back then, a thriving gay community in that area, particularly the Diamonhead area," Pope went on to say. "We knew Barry, just as common knowledge that girls were never anything that he was ever interested in. As a young teenager, you know as a young girl, it was clear that he was strictly into men."

This is not the first time we have heard this type of rumor about President Obama's sexuality. Larry Sinclair, who says he met Obama in Chicago while he was serving in the Illinois legislature, claimed before the 2008 election that he had a sexual relationship with Obama, and that they did cocaine together. That story has largely been kept out of the mainstream media.
