Would it be amusing if hundreds of potential Obama Administration employees can't get security clearances because they are close with some of the same people that are close to Obama?

It would be funny, but not going to happen.
Obama couldn’t pass a security clearance test if he was just one of us. And our government is about to give him intelligence briefings!
Who the hell is in charge anymore?
OBAMA, SHOW US YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
25% of Clinton’s staff didn’t pass, but he waived the requirement for them.
First president to ever allow such people to populate his staff.
Expect Obama to do the same.
Pretty soon the new rule will be you don’t get clearance if you listen to talk radio.
Many on the ‘Toon staff never got security clearances. No one cared.
I thought I heard on Fox today that John Kerry is lobbying for Secretary of State!
“I thought I heard on Fox today that John Kerry is lobbying for Secretary of State!”
I heard it on the radio as well. America will soon be the laughing stock of the World.

Americans are in for a very long and dangerous ride.
The Bush administration is already vetting them. They asked each campaign to submit names of potential people in their administration this past summer in order to obtain security clearance for them.
FBI agent Gary Aldrich discussed the attempts to try to interview and clear Clinton whitehouse workers in his book. Read how DeDe Myers and George Stephanopolis handled the meetings. This Obama team will be worse
There were a number of his staff including Dee Dee Myers that could not get cleared and spent the entire admnistration with temporary badges.
True! Anybody who has been involved in the process knows that REGARDLESS of the facts uncovered, if the person being investigated has sufficient "juice" they WILL get a clearance!
Oh, yeah. You can expect a whole host of ‘Toon retreads and Rat radicals to show up.
A year ago I was on a thread that asked people to name the type of people who would be in a Rat administration. The point of the thread was to ask people to think beyond the nominee and think about all the people in that party that would be empowered.
I was amazed to see the first response was “yawn.”
I do not find John Kerry as SECSTATE (which was predicted on that thread-—or as SECDEF or SEC of the VA), or any of the other predictable consequences of not voting to DEFEAT OBAMA, as anywhere near “yawn.”
As one freeper ably put it: elections have consequences.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bill Clinton as Ambassador to the U.N., Hillary on the Supreme Court, Wes Clark, Patrick Kennedy at E.P.A., Lawrence Tribe on the Supreme Court, Jamie Gorelick at DOJ, DOD or elsewhere, Gavin Newsom, Jesse Jackson (with Jesse Jackson Jr. becoming a Senator in Obama’s place), the list goes on.
