How can the President of the United States be denied a basic security clearance? How can the Commander and Chief of the most powerful military be denied access to classified information? Barack Obama would be denied the necessary security clearance for President if he was held to the same standard as everyone else.

What source is there to demonstrate he was denied one?

I admitted to my trying marijuana when I was 20 years old (and yes, I told them that I inhaled), and I told them about my being busted as a drug importer (later cleared, correctly) while I was in the military, and I still received my C6, and then my T1 from DHS/ICE.

oh, i don’t quite believe he’s a muslim or terrorist. a sympathizing softcore marxist who think’s it’s best america gets knocked down a few pegs? absolutely.

this title is misleading, there's no evidence that Obama was denied a security clearance. The article is speculation on how he could be denied a clearance, based off of some sketchy recountings of his background and record.

Having foreign nationals as family members is not a disqualifier, nor is a past history of experimentation with drugs.

The association with anti-government groups part is a little wild, claiming that Bill Ayers killed hundreds of people. Bill Ayers is a troubling association, and one that warrants more (any) serious debate in the media, but he is not a mass murderer. Sure, it's safe to say that Bill Ayers was a founding member of the Weathermen, and has remained supportive of their causes throughout the years, but does the author of the article seriously believe that somehow Bill Ayers personally killed hundreds of people, including police officers, yet walks free?

What is the problem here?

We have already done this with Bill Clinton, why should we balk now. Move along, nothing to see.

As someone who worked as a consultant for a defense company, I, too, had to go through all of the checks, and also someone who studied those PowerPoint presentations on Security, all of the questions you raised are exactly what it covered in them.

I've also said that Obama would not receive any Security clearance.

Good Job!

If William Ayers himself were elected President, he would have total access to any and all classified information.
I also believe he could classify or declassify anything he wanted, as he is the ultimate classification authority, and could restrict or grant access to anyone for any classified material or program.

Recall that there were a number of people at the Clinton WH who couldn’t get security clearances themselves. Fact is, these ‘Rats couldn’t give a hoot about such “formalities.”

I really am interested in the outcome of that article.

btw: When I read the title of the thread...it says he’s already been denied. I just couldn’t believe it—well, in the sense that it actually happened already, but not surprised. I don’t want him to have it. lol Not trying to criticize you for that...but I had to reread the beginning of the article a couple of times to figure out what was going on..

Thanks for the info!!! LOVE your handle!!

Now I understand why the President’s desk in the Oval Office is always completely clean, has nothing on it (except in one pic, Obama’s feet), and why the Oval Office appears to be used for nothing more than photo-ops.
