President-Elect Tries To Weed Out Controversial Candidates

Applicants for President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet get ready to chronicle your life story.

Those interested in joining Obama's administration have to pass an extensive background test.

The questionnaire, the New York Times reported, includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps, the Times said.

Obama wants applicants to “list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet,” and asks people to include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook.com pages.

Hoping to weed out anyone with ties to companies at the center of the $700 billion bailout, question 18 of the Obama application asks whether “you, your spouse or any member of your immediate family” have been affiliated with Fannie, Freddie, American International Group, Washington Mutual and any other institution getting a government bailout.

“President-elect Obama made a commitment to change the way Washington does business, and the vetting process exemplifies that,” Stephanie Cutter, chief spokeswoman for the Obama transition office, told the Times.

Could You Pass Obama's Background Check?

My question, is why would I want to?

[G.Mason]

Would that be anything like passing gas?

[GYPSY286]

The title should be changed to “Can Obama pass Obama’s Background Check?”

[Welcome2thejungle]

The real question is could BHO pass a security background check?

Coming to an employment agency or recruitment office near you...

I swear by God this sacred oath that I shall render unconditional obedience to Barack Obama, the Leader of the United States and people, supreme commander of the armed forces, and that I shall at all times be ready, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath.

Sounds catchier in the original german though.

Well Im an American that thinks the Middle East should be turned into a shiny piece of glass, so that would negate me from being hired. Hes got lots of friends over there.

Does it require an original Birth Certificate?

[Domandred]

Obama can’t pass Obama’s background check

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Is he checking to make sure that they have as many shady associates in their past as he does?

I wouldn’t measure up.

[econjack]

I wouldn't even consider working for him until I see a copy of his birth certificate, his grade school documents, high school documents, the income-expense statements for all of his college and post-grad education. If he produced all of those documents, then I could say “No thanks” with a clear conscience.

FReepers need not apply.

And this from a thug who won't release his original birth certificate, his passport travels, his school records, his school papers, etc. etc.

[Vaquero]

He doesn’t pass MY background check.....he might be somebodies President but he sure ain't mine.

[RightOnline]

Karl Freakin’ Marx could have passed the ‘background check’ that Obama, himself, was given.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

“Could You Pass Obama’s Background Check?”

Question is, could he?

[Tzimisce]

The bar for the rank and file is higher than for the guys at the top?

What the hell????

BULLSTALIN.

Barack himself received more money from Fannie Mae than any other politician than Chris Dodd and he amassed his sum total in only 3 years.

This is a shell game and nothing more. Do not play 3 card money with Obama, he's a hustler.
