If Obama couldn't get a Top Secret Security Clearance, should he be President?
FBI Security Clearance Infomation ^ | FBI

Posted on 10/13/2008 11:50:07 AM PDT by pajamahadin.com

Q: What kind of inquiries will the FBI make into my background?

A: Credit and criminal history checks will be conducted on all applicants. For a Top Secret security clearance, the background investigation includes additional record checks which can verify citizenship for the applicant and family members, verification of birth, education, employment history, and military history. Additionally, interviews will be conducted of persons who know the candidate, and of any spouse divorced within the past ten years. Additional interviews will be conducted, as needed, to resolve any inconsistencies. Residences will be confirmed, neighbors interviewed, and public records queried for information about bankruptcies, divorces, and criminal or civil litigation. The background investigation may be expanded if an applicant has resided abroad, or has a history of mental disorders, or drug or alcohol abuse. A personal interview will be conducted of the candidate.

Could Obama pass such a test?

As noted on my blog, PajamaHadin

Obama might find problems getting a top secret security clearance for the following reasons:

If Obama couldn't qualify for a Top Secret Security Clearance, is it wise for him to be President?

What do you think?

Everybody said the same thing about clinton. Was it because of his trip to russia, or just because, generally speaking, he was sub-human, anti-American filth? Don’t remember. Bottom line — he probably could never have gotten a sec. clear., but, NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!, it didn’t matter one little bit.

I don’t think that applies to be president as long as he has met the written criteria (citizen, 35+ and over, etc.)...While the FBI needs to clear people who the president would appoint and hire, the president himself (being an elected official) needs no such thing....

It is so frustrating not to know what is fact and what is fiction regarding Obama.

It is genuinely creepy to think that this man has not been vetted.

Where does one turn to find out the answers?

To answer your question I DO NOT THINK that a anyone running for the President of the United States has the RIGHT to do so without being completely vetted....so MUCH is at stake!

What if Barak uses those involved with his past as part of his intimate administration? Or his cabinet?

He is a shallow man who like most liberals only knows how to assuage his personal guilt over his past actions and big money by TAKING MONEY FROM OTHERS and DISTRIBUTING IT WITHOUT CAUSE.

Clinton nor most of his staff could pass security clearance.

So, their remedy was to change the badges that people wore in order to make it unclear as to whether the person had clearance or not.

Oh, he'll be vetted, don't you worry about that.

He'll be vetted after he's elected.

It'll help the media get ratings, donchaknow. That's been the name of that tune since day one.

Yes, I agree that the Clearance requirements don’t apply to the position of POTUS (except for the citizenship issue). However, if he couldn’t pass such a test in those other respects, I do think that means he would be a security risk and as President that would mean a national security risk.

An answer (using some objective criteria) to the question: Can he be trusted?

And look what Clinton did - pardoned terrorists, sold our technology to China for campaign cash, perjured himself, ignored OBL, allowed Fannie and Freddie to go whacko.....he benefited from an economy not of his making and looked the other way while OBL tested us and decided that incinerating 3000 Americans would get no retaliation.

HORRIBLE President and now 1/2 the country is ready to pull this shit again!

JIHAD CANDIDATE 2
A Story About a Man Applying for a Job
The Jihad Candidate II, Rich Carroll

Imagine for a few moments that you are the human resources director of a major multi-billion dollar corporation. You are sitting in your large, luxurious office when you receive a phone call from the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

He tells you that the board is considering a candidate for a high-level executive position. He advises you to complete a thorough background investigation and have it to him within 10 days.

You immediately call the private detective agency you have used for years and give them the name and address of the prospective candidate, along with the deadline for a high level security clearance.

Your next move is to call your assistant to your office, giving him/her the candidate’s personal information along with instructions to “do your standard beginning background checks.”

Preliminary findings begin landing in your fax machine on the third day:

* Your candidate has used more than one name.
* His original birth certificate is unavailable.
* He was mentored during his youth by a high level communist in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis.
* You receive a 3 page dossier on Frank Marshall Davis.
* You also learn the candidate was proctored into an elite Eastern private university by a middle eastern Muslim, Khalid al-Mansour.
* You receive a short dossier on Khalid al-Mansour.
* You learn the candidate has terrorist organization “Nations of Islam” employees on his current staff, and one of his advisors is a member of the global terrorist group “Muslim Brotherhood.”

On day four, you receive in the mail from the security agency two books the candidate has written:

* You read both books, highlighting the anti-American, anti-white racist passages.
* You note the admissions of drug use.
* You also receive in the packet a copy of the bitter anti-white thesis his wife wrote as a college undergraduate.
* You receive a 4 page fax on the candidate’s relative, Raila Odinga, who is connected with brutal Muslim politics in Africa, and background information on the candidate’s estranged father who was part of Kenya’s most corrupt regime.

The fifth day brings to your special delivery mail the complete background on Bill Ayers; his association with your candidate, his FBI criminal record, and a copy of the book “Rules for Radicals” written by communist Saul Alinsky:

* You are advised your candidate used tactics from “Rules for Radicals” at his previous employment.
* You are advised the candidate’s wife used an excerpt from this book during a recent speech.
* You receive by fax, a background on A.C.O.R.N. and an alert that this group is being watched by the U.S. Department of Justice and other state and local law enforcement agencies.
* You learn your candidate is endorsed by every Muslim terrorist organization on Earth; that he holds Muslim beliefs.
* His friend, Louis Farrakhan, is head of Nations of Islam.

* You learn that the candidate’s pastor met with global terrorist Mohmmar Gaddafi in Libya, along with their mutual friend and anti-American Louis Farrakhan.
* You receive printed transcripts of his pastor’s anti-White, anti-American “sermons” and are advised your candidate has been close personal friends with this “pastor” for two decades.
* Your candidate has referred to this radical pastor as his “personal spiritual advisor,” and in fact, the title of one of your candidates memoirs was inspired by a line from this pastor’s “sermons.”

In your fax machine on the sixth morning is a file on one Tony Rezko:

* His friendship, associations and business transactions with your candidate, as well as high level “people” of middle eastern origin, and his federal conviction.

You will spend most of day seven compiling a file on the candidate, TheObamaFile, complete with footnotes and cross references.

* Additional information is arriving regarding the candidate’s friends and acquaintances during college.
* You learn that he did not run with a mainstream crowd, but chose radicals and communist agitators for his social group.

The morning of the eighth day has arrived and you and your assistant have placed a small mountain of background information into manageable “piles” - including photographs of the candidate’s family in Africa, he and George Soros (including a brief file on the Soros “Open Society Institute”), photos of the candidate and Louis Farrakhan and anti-Israel Arafat advisor Edward Said.

You begin to outline and write your “Summary Evaluation” to the Chairman of the Board of Directors:

* This candidate has a tissue thin work experience resume.
* He has not managed large groups of personnel, departments, material, or P&L statements.
* This candidate’s own writing exhibits a deep-seeded anger and resentment towards people of the Caucasian race over the issue of slavery.
* His emotional gravitas is centered upon his African heritage, and his belief that the white man is responsible for global poverty and unequal sharing of wealth.
* The candidate’s personal associations since childhood have been mostly with radical African Americans, Muslims, and communists; those who harbor anger towards The United States of America.
* Particularly disturbing is his lengthy relationship with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant Weatherman radical who bombed government buildings and abdicated the overthrow of the United States.
* Given the current global situation of nearly twelve thousand Muslim acts of terrorism since 911, it is disturbing to find his close associations with Muslim groups, MAFO2008.com.
* I have highlighted passages in both books and find one particularly disturbing: “Should the political winds shift in an ugly direction I will side with the Muslims.”
* The candidate has surrounded himself with anti-American grievance mongers, and appears to manipulate “typical white people” by appealing to their guilt about slavery.
* He is a socialist, and totally disenfranchised from the history of “root America.”
* The candidate refuses to discuss his years at Columbia University, although he lived off campus and made few friends.
* He will not release his application to the state bar notes which raises questions on several issues including the use of drugs.
* Very little is available about his experience with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a foundation that spent $100 million with no discernable benefit for the schools and students that it was****tively designed to help.

It is therefore my strongest recommendation this candidate not be considered for any position within the corporation.to help.”

Yeah, I realized after I typed this I was just preaching to the choir - it’s just that it gets SO irritating to see what’s going on.

BTW, I’m a sis, not a bro. :-)

Obama won’t be able to collect Social Security without presenting his birth certificate.

Presidents don’t submit to security clearances. The very act of being elected gives one the highest security clearances available, including any bigoted information. This is not to suggest Obama is not a security risk.
