President Obama’s Friend Bobby Titcomb Arrested In Hawaii Prostitution Sting

» 34 comments

Bobby Titcomb, a friend of Barack Obama‘s since his Punahou School days, has been arrested along with three other men in a Hawaiian prostitution sting after having solicited the services of an escort through a fake website. He has since been released on a $500 bail.

From KITV:

HONOLULU — The Honolulu Police Department confirmed that a close friend of President Barack Obama was arrested Monday in connection with a prostitution sting case.

Police arrested Bobby Titcomb, 49, a Punahou School classmate of Obama, at 9:40 p.m. in downtown Honolulu at the corner of Pohukaina and South streets. He was released after posting $500 bail, police said.

Police arrested four men in connection with a reverse prostitution sting involving a fake online female escort website, sources said.

The offense is considered a misdemeanor. Titcomb’s initial court appearance is scheduled May 2.


From the AP:

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

Titcomb has attended several events with his longtime friend:

Titcomb usually spends the holidays with the president and his family when they spend time in Hawaii. He has been seen playing golf and attending picnics with the president.

The first family attended a barbecue at Ticomb’s Waialua home in December.

    If he were David Vitter, he would have been caught wearing diapers.

    Maybe if he was your childhood friend he would have gotten you off that sex offender list.

  • Jaurez

    With any luck they can tie this to Obama.

  • George Sore-ohs

    With a last name like that he should have had Spitzer as a customer as it sounds like kinky sex might be on the menu.

  • writer

    It was a misunderstanding. He said tit comb over the phone, and they thought that’s what he was requesting.

    I realize we shouldn’t necessarily be judged by the actions of our friends BUT it does say something about us and our decisions when we actively pursue and cultivate relationships and who we choose to spend time with. This is clearly a very close friend and it will be very embarrassing for the Pres. but people should keep it in perspective.

    Why should we care? Did Obama get caught with a prostitute? No. Did a member of his cabinet? No.

    A friend. As I recall, there is a setting United States Senator from Louisiana who was caught with prostitutes and not only did he not resign, he was re-elected by the conservative voters of his state.

    And as I recall, he’s a Republican.

    Another of Obama’s Hawaiian THUG FRIENDS paying WHITE AMERICAN WOMEN TO ENGAGE IN SEXUAL ACTS. HOW MUCH OF THE TAX PAYERS DIME IS GOING TO OBAMA’S MUSLIM ALLIES TO SEDUCE OUR ARYIAN PRINCESSES?! Our country is spiraling out of control because of this vaguely muslim man!

    $1.25 for a 20oz soda Obama? I AM PAYING 1.25 AT THE STORE FOR SODA?!?! I BLAME OBAMA!

    WHERE THE HELL iS MY REMOTE CONTROL OABAM?!! I PUT IT DOWN EARLIER! ITS GONE NOW! WHy MUST YOU RUIN MY LIFE?!!

    GLENN BECK IS BEING STOLEN FROM US BECAUSE OF OBAMA HUSSEIN BIN LADEN AND HIS CRONIES AT FOX NEWS WANT TO STIFLE THE VOICE OF A FREEDOM PATRIOT, if Glenn Beck was a pokemon he’d be geodude because he is strong like a rock but also casual enough to call your dude or bro, plus geodude is a pokemon who’s abilities seem perfectly suited for the social and political upheavel of the coming caliphate. Next thing we will hear that O-bomb-ba has taken pokemon off store shelves, welcome to the American hell under the new dark lord. We HAVE SURELY ENTERED AN UNENDING HELLSCAPE.

    In 3,2,1 I don’t know all the facts, but I can tell you the Honolulu Police Department acted stupidly.

    That’s the rub with Obama. He’s never been caught………..YET!

    You recall incorrectly. And your misdirection needs work.

    No, he can’t. This isn’t federal.

    A presidential pardon is already being drafted. -0bama will sign it as he leaves office in January 2013.

    Actually he was factually correct, except he was not caught with a prostitute, but was a client of a call girl service. Even in Louisianna call girls are prostitutes. He apologized for….something….but was not specific…which in Louisianna means, “aw shucks, the ol’ lady won’t touch me on a dare, so what’s a man to do?”

    His name was in Deborah Jean Palfrey’s black book. He was not caught with a prostitute. Titcomb was caught with a prostitute. Vitter was not. That’s why he was never arrested or charged. See how this works?
