content: President Obama and hischief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bathhouse in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago’sgay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city. The bath house, Man’s Country, caters to older white men and it hasbeen in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago’s “grand old bathhouses.” WMR was told by sources who are familiar withthe bath house that it provides one-year “lifetime” memberships to payingcustomers and that the club’s computerized files and pre-computer paperfiles, include membership information for both Obama and Emanuel. Thedata is as anonymized as possible for confidentiality purposes. However,sources close to “Man’s Country” believe the U.S. Secret Service haspurged the computer and filing cabinet files of the membership dataon Obama and Emanuel. Members of Man’s Country are also issued club identification cards.WMR learned that Obama and Emanuel possessed the ID cards, which wererequired for entry. Obama began frequenting Man’s Country in the mid-1990s, during the timehe transitioned from a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law Schoolto his election as an Illinois State Senator in 1996. Emanuel, reportedlyjoined Man’s Country after he left the Clinton White Hosue and movedback to Chicago in 1998, joining the investment firm of WassersteinPerella and maintaining his membership during his 2002 campaign forthe U.S. 5th District House seat vacated by Rod Blagojevich, who waselected governor. Man’s Country appears to be a “one stop shopping” center for gay men.The club’s website advertises steam rooms, “fantasy rooms,” bed rooms,male strippers, adult movies, and lockers. However, Man’s Country was not the only location for Obama’s predatorygay sex activities. The Chicago gay community is aware that Obama oftenmade contacts with younger men at his famous “pick-up basketball” games.It was at these “pick up” matches where Obama first met Emanuel anda young Democratic campaign worker and senior bank vice president namedAlexi Giannoulias. Currently running for Obama’s old U.S. Senate seatnow occupied by Roland Burris, Giannoulias successfully ran for IllinoisTreasurer in 2006 after being drafted for the run by Chicago’s Democraticmachine."  - Wayne Madsen Report
