Obama Friend Arrested on Suspicion of Soliciting Prostitute
AOL News/AP ^ | 6/4/11 | Jaymes Song

HONOLULU -- One of President Barack Obama's close friends has been arrested in Honolulu on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute. Robert "Bobby" Titcomb was one of four men arrested in an undercover sting operation late Monday and later released on $500 bail, according to Honolulu police.

Titcomb, 49, attended Punahou School in Honolulu with Obama in the 1970s. The president graduated in 1979, a year before Titcomb. The two often golf, play basketball, go to the beach and dine together when the president returns home to Hawaii for vacation.

Obama's family has also attended barbeques at Titcomb's beachside home in Waialua, located on Oahu's North Shore about an hour outside of downtown Honolulu.

Sounds like another homosexual....birds of a feather.... Will be interesting to find out the sex of the prostitute....if it is male it will confirm my psychoanalysis of the closeted zero who has a very sick and twisted worldview.

The ironic thing is that if it was a male prostitute, much like Huey Rodham’s cocaine induced shooting incident in the poconos while he was banging the neighbor’s wife, this too will vanish like a popcorn fart in the Santa Anna winds.

Your prose needs to be heralded from the towers of CNN, but, of course, it won’t be. LOL

The White House had no comment.

If it was a contest to see who could hook up the fastest with a prostitute and make it deep into subsequent rounds, Obama would have been bracketing his friends to the finals.

And my money would have gone on anybody named Titcomb!

Flight attendant? Titicomb might be gay.

Titcomb is not just a random airline employee but a flight attendant. With Sinclair and the church guys, well, just saying. Also, he’s not just a friend whom Hussein golfs with in Hawaii but he’s the one that it took not one, not two, but TEN big black government issued SUVs to drive The Won to meet with Titcomb during the last island taxpayer funded getaway.

“If this particular operation was aimed at ‘johns’ seeking ‘regular’ prostitutes then it is the first of its type I have heard about.”

They do plenty of stings like this, to catch people who patronize escort services or look for prostitutes on craigslist or other sites. Most child sex predator stings would not be referred to as prostitution stings.

“ATTENTION FREEPERS! Original report from HAWAII says Obama’s butt buddy ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF PROSTITUTION!!”

Obviously it’s not a nefarious cover-up, since the same article says this:

“Police say the suspect showed up at the intersection of South Street and Pohukaina Street Monday night to meet an escort from an online service. Titcomb allegedly offered to pay the escort, who was actually an undercover officer, $100 for sex.

It’s what police call a “reverse sting” — an operation designed to net Johns instead of prostitutes.”

So, it’s sloppy reporting at best.

If it’s gay prostitution, is the “John”, a “Jane”?

Does the Chicago pedophile ring have a Hawaiian branch?

Titcomb? Titcomb? Where have I heard that name before?

Any bets on how long it took for Titcomb to show the arresting officers his photos of him and his best buddy?

Any bets on how hard it was for the officers to refrain from laughing?

I'm going out on a limb here on a chix with dix prostitution sting. The T-Gals are all the rage in Hawaii.

I just don’t think we’re going to see it announced in the news gay or straight escort.

In my personal observation - my straight friends don’t go to Honolulu (since, the mid 80’s at least....) my gay friends go there - and move there before they realize how expensive it is to live there.

My personal opinion is it was a male escort

again, just my opinion, and thoughts....

I guess that depends on if he’s a top or a bottom, eh?

It's what they didn't say is what matters. Was the undercover police officer a male or a female?

Titcomb had no comment when reached by Hawaii News Now. There was no immediate response from the White House.

You mean to tell me the white hut didn't come out and say that "he was just a guy in the neighborhood"?
