I'm not sure about this - some are thinking its Barry's Monica-on-the-rope-line moment:

DATELINE “DC”: Cub Reporter MOTUS Reporting
Appropriate Background Sound Effects
The interweb is buzzing with speculation following the release here on MOTUS’ blog, of an unauthorized video of President Obama in an unguarded moment. The video, obtained from a secret source, appears to show Big Guy secretly enjoying what some have suggested might be, a “Monica rope line” moment with old law school chum, Gregory “Greggers” Dingens. That little post appears to have triggered a firestorm of reporting, analysis and speculation that has lit up the interweb from HillBuzz, to iOwnTheWorld to RIGHTNETWORK. Where’s Drudge on this?

Monica & Bubba Rope Line Moment-iOwnTheWorld
Obama & Greggers – RIGHTNETWORK
Sources tell this cub reporter that Greggers is a former defensive tackle, form Notre Dame. I don’t know about that, but he sure is a big bruiser. I had my mole, Little Mo, dig into this and he found Greggers player profile from the Fighting Irish Monogram Club website:
Greg Dingens '86, who played defensive tackle under Gerry Faust, joined the Monogram Club Board of Directors in 2008. The three-time Academic All-American and 1986 Byron Kanaley Award winner graduated magna cum laude and earned Phi Beta Kappa honors at Notre Dame. He received post-graduate scholarships from the NCAA and the National Football Foundation. Dingens, who graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1992, has spent his entire career in Chicago. He currently is a partner and the head of investment banking at Monroe Securities Inc., a boutique investment bank which covers the community banking sector, and a general partner of Siena Capital Partners I., L.P., a private investment fund that invests in community banks.
So I asked myself, “What’s a nice, Catholic, investment banker from Chicago doing at a UN delegate’s reception sponsored by Big Guy?” We know how Big Guy feels about Wall Street investment bankers, although there may be a loophole here, because Monroe Securities is located on North Riverside Plaza, not Wall Street.
Then I remembered Big Guy, Mo, JoeyB, Harry Reid, Fancy Nancy and the rest of the Team celebrating the latest Senate legislative “colonoscopy”: Creating Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. The celebration started Thursday, just hours before the big UN reception. A nosey cub reporter might ask, “could there be a connection?” Let’s have a look.
The “Creating Small Business Jobs Act of 2010” aka “Mini-TARP” provides, among other goodies, a $30 billion lending fund for small business. Ok, are you still with me? The $30 billion will be administered by “Toxic-Tax-Cheat Timmy” Geitner, and will be awarded to community banks “...deemed strong by regulators.”
Community banks...community banks...I know I just saw something about that...Oh, yes:
Greggers “...currently is a partner and the head of investment banking at Monroe Securities Inc., a boutique investment bank which covers the community banking sector...”
So let me see if there might be some dots to connect:
•Senate rams gains passage of Big guy’s mini-TARP on Thursday
•Mini-TARP provides $30 billion lending fund which will be awarded to “community banks” by Toxic-Tax-Cheat-Timmy Geitner
•Big Guy attends UN delegate’s reception Thursday evening
•At UN delegate’s reception, he bumps into old Harvard chum Greggers, who is not a UN delegate, butt is a partner in a Chicago securities firm specializing in the “community banking sector”
Damn! Dead-end: a cub reporter’s nightmare! Oh well, I wouldn’t have been able to connect the dots anyway, since it’s above my pay grade.

Hillbuzz had this to say about the video:
You know what, it is actually really weird to spend that much time with one person in a rope line like that.
Even at a private function.
We don’t know who that man in the video is, but he’s not Obama’s type.
We really do believe he dated Kal Penn last year, and that seems like his type for an actual boyfriend…because Kal is a similar type to the Pakistani man that Obama dated in college…the one he lived with, whose father was rich and paid for everything.
In Chicago, the men he messed around with at Man’s Country were always older guys, with white hair, and he only let them do things to him — he did not reciprocate. But, he liked having older white men on their knees servicing him.
Larry Sinclair maintains that Obama let him do the same thing to him in a limo…but Obama did not reciprocate…and that’s consistent with what people have always said about him here in Chicago.
Now, the guy in the video is a big, 50 something football player sort of guy, much taller than Obama…and not his apparent type at all, but Obama has real affection for the man. Look how his hand lingers on the man’s big beefy shoulder, and how he caresses it, the way a woman would to her boyfriend. It’s just so strange to see a supposedly str8 man do this to someone else.
We can’t think of of another male politician who we’ve ever seen be this affectionate to another man…when he’s really straight.
What’s weirder is how non-affectionate and cold Obama is in general…and how he doesn’t even bother to fake the normal emotions that politicians always show.
So, this affection for this man is genuine and real.
We do wonder where it comes from. Maybe he has more than the two previously established types.
Motus says:
Hi boyz: The mystery man is one of Big Guy’s “closest friends” from Harvard, and Windy City local, Gregory Dingens.
Greggers is a 1986 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame and 1992 cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, so he’s not as smart as Big Guy. He was a three-time Academic All-American defensive tackle playing under Gerry Faust at ND. He is currently a partner and head of investment banking at Monroe Securities, a boutique investment bank specializing in, are you ready for this, the community banking sector.
