A nine-page questionnaire requires applicants to list -- and if possible, provide copies of -- all "posts or comments on blogs or other Web sites"they have ever made. Also required are "aliases" or nicknames used on those sites.

"Gosh how could you ever keep track of all of that? I know I couldn’t!"

I have posted tens of thousands of things. Do you think I kept my own logs? ROTFLMBO!!

Everyone else has to be honest and forthcoming. What a hypocrite he is.

Maybe applicants should use the excuse that they were only 8 years old when they wrote those things on those blogs. Wonder how that would go over.

Funny what he demands of others yet refuses to provide himself.

The Obama: "Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us."

nice catch!

“”I guess they’ll also want to know what movies you’ve seen, what books you’ve read,what magazines you subscribe to, etc,etc etc, 2008 IS scarier than 1984””

AND do you or a member of your family own a firearm? Has anyone ever been injured by one of your firearms? NO - Obama. Only criminals use illegal weapons to injure other people!

These questions were on Fox last night....NRA isn’t happy nor should they be!

And so it begins.

There will be lots of good-paying government jobs under the Obama administration - IF you toe the party line, that is. These will be the leaders in establishing "unity."

I thought there would come a time where we would be asked, under high-wattage bare lightbulbs, are you or have you ever been a member of Free Republic/the NRA/the Republican Party/the Catholic Church, etc., just not this soon.

The First Amendment is no more, and Barr did not even have to prove he was a natural-born American citizen.

“One question asks: “Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information.”

That’s raised eyebrows among gun owners — and drawn fire from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action”

There’s no way any of these questions could be construed as legitimate or legal questions that can be asked on a job application by anyone but a Marxist.

I guess “ChimpyBuShitMcHitler” might have made a few posts that could be questionable. But they will probably give him a high level position anyways.

I figure it will come in handy again and again during an Obama administration.

I think it would be fun to apply, although I'd have to clarify my tagline because Obamanauts are unlikely to know enough history to figure it out. We could have a good time teasing the followers of the Affirmative Action President, not to mention burying them under a flood of bogus applications that would reduce their efficiency in damaging the country:

"Like Obama, I have no real qualifications for any job, but it's the year for trusting to HOPE so you might as well give me a chance too. Holding down an unimportant government job where I can't be fired would be a nice CHANGE, and that's what Obama promised, not to mention what he just won in the election. I already stopped paying my mortgage, like Obama offered, so you know I'll be loyal and just what he's looking for."

I make it a point to leave nothing that can link my RL info to my online identity.

The info I have posted could apply to many, many others.

If your only choices were crooks from back home or Clinton retreads you would do damage control first.

I’ve had two or three security clearances in my lifetime. First one was when my husband and I married in San Antonio during the Vietnam War. He was in the security service and I had to be cleared before we married. I had two other security clearances for jobs in Houston where I handled top secret data in a research lab. My guess is that 75% of the Freepers that post also have had security clearances.

Some of them are already in place. I had 2 e-mails frozen a few weeks ago because of a screen capture of a Technorati search.

Thought at first it was my local ISP, from the feedback, but later learned it was not. Response said my message was being “held for testing”, I e-mailed back “testing for what and for whom?” no response.

Suspect someone at AT&T.

Gentlemen, this is Orwell’s Brave New World.

I like it too. Spread the word.

I’m telling you, this guy’s got a heart of ice, and empty at the core. Thugs and Marxists are drawn to him like moths to a flame.

"If you want a job in an Obama administration, be prepared to disclose every blog post or comment you've ever written"

Good Lord, do the folks who voted for him know what they have done. Dad must be turning over in his grave, Mom too.
