Why is it that an FBI background check is something that the presidential nominee of the Democrat Party has not been forced to undergo but whether the FBI investigated Palin is now becoming a controversy?

We have a problem folks,plain and simple. It is notP.C. to vet Obama apparently and our government is down the toilet or as some say in the tank. America is ripe to be overthrown.

My new tagline.

The major news media in this country have not looked into Obama’s past. They’re probably afraid to. They’re afraid of the smears and the lambasting they’ll get from Obama’s dirty, unprincipled leftist minions.

- OR -

How ‘bout this question:

“Mr. Obama campaign strategist/organizer. We all know his daughter was arrested a couple of years ago in a bar fight, his son and brother are under investigation for fraud and the candidate himself is in cozy business with Delaware’s huge credit card industry, so who vetted Joe Biden? Hmmmmmm????”

Yea, that’ll happen. /s

Vetting Obama would constitute racial bias, so the FBI was strictly hands off.

This is old news. Barack Obama was thoroughly vetted by Bill Ayers.

Let the FBI check on Obama’s citizenship if they need something to do.

With friends like Obama’s got, who needs enemies?

The Democrats in the news media and Obama’s little leftist buddies have stepped over the line, friends. It’s all out war with them now.

I think you’ll find that the FBI does not do background checks on party nominees. They will do background checks for appointees to various high level government offices, but it is not done for party nominees. The story is incorrect and the FBI has acknowledged it did not do a background check on Palin for the purpose of supplying information on her to the selection process of the McCain campaign.

I’m sure it is possible that some of the people that McCain employed in his campaign to do their vetting process may have had experience working with the FBI or perhaps tried to pattern their approach to interviews and investigative process like that of the FBI, and perhaps that is the source of the confusion.

A leftist vetting process is like taking a census during a San Francisco Gay/Peacenik/Commie parade and scoring the participants for adherence to stated goals.

This is a conversation between the Special Agent-in-Charge: C. Frank Figliuzzi of the Cleveland FBI and Mike Trivisonno on the Mike Trivisonno Show, WTAM 1100, 7/02/08, Hr. 2.

Caller - Do they perform background checks on candidates and fellows who are in Congress and the Senate and perhaps potential presidential candidates?.

FBI - The short answer is no, no we don't, but they're given top secret clearances because they're members of Congress, or Senators, or even higher ranking officials.

Host - Time out. There are no background checks from the FBI on the people that lead the country, the United States of America?.

FBI - Let me emphasize, elected officials. This is a democracy, the people have elected an official to represent them in Washington, and we do not routinely run background checks on those people.

Host - Even people running for president of the United States of America?.

FBI - That's correct.

Host - That's a little weird

FBI - Well, its part of democracy, its part of what the American people want, they want to be able to vote for somebody to represent them in Washington and they don't want us to get in the way of that and we have no predilection to get in the way of that.

Host - Yeah, but what if they're voting for a bad person and they don't know that person is bad, do you follow me?. I'm saying, if the guy's got a background and maybe he's involved with some people that he shouldn't be involved with, shouldn't we know that as voters?.

FBI - Well, I think you'd agree that the American political process is about as rigorous as you'll ever see and if there's dirt back there, probably the opponent is gonna get it out probably before anyone else will.

Host - Now I know why you're the head of the FBI, they're good, aren't they?.

Me - Let's just hope that somebody is up to the job!.
