Barack Obama Denied National Security Clearance Aug.20, 2008 in General Barack Obama cannot be Trusted with Classified Information

How can the President of the United States be denied a basic security clearance? How can the Commander and Chief of the most powerful military be denied access to classified information? Barack Obama would be denied the necessary security clearance for President if he was held to the same standard as everyone else. If you can’t pass a Secret level background investigation, which is required for many soldiers, you should not be eligible for the Presidency.

What is a Security Clearance?

Having served in the U.S. military, law enforcement, and as a civilian government contractor, I’ve had my fair share of background investigations. The United States government employs a multitier security clearance paradigm.

Confidential – Unauthorized disclosure could cause “damage to national security.” Secret – Unauthorized disclosure could cause “serious damage to national security.” Top Secret – Unauthorized disclosure could cause “exceptionally grave damage to national security.”

Each level of access requires a progressively more in-depth background investigation before the clearance is obtained. The President of the United States should be able to flawlessly pass the most extensive investigation and a polygraph test. Both are required for workers in some Special Access Programs classified Top Secret.

The purpose of the clearance is to determine an individual’s honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, financial responsibility, criminal activity, emotional stability, foreign influences, family associations, drug use, mental health, judicial proceedings, employment history, traits of character, and loyalty to the United States. This collective data is used to evaluate your ability and willingness to safeguard national secrets. Based on the facts about Barack Obama, he fails to satisfy the minimum requirements for even a basic secret clearance. His background investigation would have “Red Flags” shooting up in so many places; the issuing panel would deny him a clearance outright.

Obama’s Answers on the Security Clearance Application Instead of going through all the Security Clearance Application questions, I’ll examine the questions that would deny Barack Obama a Secret Clearance.

List foreign national relatives whom you or your spouse are bound by affection, obligation, or close and continuing contact.

Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. of Kenya, and Lolo Soetoro, the Indonesian oil manager his mother married. These two foreign relatives would probably initiate a Defensive Security Services or Department of Defense investigation that would take roughly a year to explore. I’m not sure how many degrees of separation are involved, but Obama Sr. and Soetoro’s associations are not friendly to the United States. However, they are not the primary concern.

Barack Obama’s brother, his kin Abongo Obama, is a militant Muslim who has been quoted saying, “A black man must liberate himself from the poisons of European cultures and western values.” Obama’s paternal cousin, Raila Odinga is also a Muslim extremist who recently lost the Kenyan Presidential election to a Christian. How can such relations exist between the President of the United States and radical Muslims?

Have you ever been an officer or a member or made a contribution to an organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of the United States Government and which engages in illegal activities to that end, knowing that the organization engages in such activities with the specific intent to further such activities?

Have you ever knowingly engaged in any acts or activities designed to overthrow the United States Government by force?

These two questions go hand and hand. Having gone through the interview phase of the clearance process a number of times, I can’t image the look on the face of the investigator nor the sheer amount of time it would take to explain Barack Obama’s anti American ties.

Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist and granted funding to a controversial Arab group that dubbed the creation of Israel as a “catastrophe.” The founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti western terrorism.

Barack Obama also served on the Wood’s Fund board with William Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. Bill Ayers has killed hundreds of civilians, police officers, and was recently quoted saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs, I feel we didn’t do enough.”

I would deny a security clearance for anybody that even shook these men’s hands, never mind launching a campaign from Ayer’s living room.

Have you illegally used any controlled substance, for example, marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, hashish, narcotics (opium, morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.), amphetamines, depressants (barbiturates, methaqualone, tranquilizers, etc.), hallucinogenics (LSD, PCP, etc.), or prescription drugs?

Barack Obama has specifically admitted to using marijuana and cocaine in his book “Dreams From My Father.” He even confesses pursuing heroin, but was scared of the drug dealer. A clearance question such as this is used to test someone’s ethical fortitude to stand up for what is right, legally forbidden, and ultimately make correct decisions. Obama fails this test with his weakness to deny temptation.

Would anyone question your honesty?

Obama’s lies regarding his recollection of policies supported and the reality of what he actually did endorse are too numerous to count. However, these lies are unfortunately common in today’s politics. An article written in a conservative blog has outlined 26 more personal deceptions Obama has made to the American people. How can anyone trust this guy with confidence? cont.......

That’s a different issue. The power to impeach the President is again a Constitutional authority. Congress cannot prevent an elected President from taking office nor can they preempt his candidacy.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Congressmen and women do not get a security clearance, yet we have had many Communists posing as members of the Democratic Party since the 1930’s, as well as one Democrat (Dickstein) who was a made Soviet agent in the 1930’s.

Other CPUSA members and/or covert members or well documented supporters include:
Bella Abzug - one day her Party membership will be made public if the records are not destroyed
John Conyers, Jr - a record too long to print. Key supporter of the KGB operation known as the WPC. (So did many others). Interested in which communist/socialist group his father belonged to in the UAW. Later bought out by the Reuthers.
Ron Dellums - there wasn’t a communist cause from many communist parties that he didn’t support - CPUSA, SWP, WWP, etc.
Charles Hayes (D-Ill) - id. CPUSA
George Crockett Jr (D-Mich) - id. CPUSA
Vito Marcantonio - CP mouthpiece in Congress(membership not publicly disclosed)
Charles Porter, Don Edwards; Burton Brothers - all well documented CPUSA supporters (Edwards hired CP members in his title insurance company)
Maxine Waters; Rangel; T. Weiss; Frank; Savage; Major Owens; Kastenmeier; Parren Mitchell (from a Party family); and many more - well documented communist front supporters and sometimes CPUSA overt organizations (their newspapers and the annual fundraising banquets, etc).

Also, a number of communists and sympathizers have been hired by these people, including by John Kerry, Conyers, Crockett, etc.

The story about how loyal congressmen have had to use subtrafuge to keep some other communist congressmen from secret materials will never be told. You had to be there to know about it. (been there; done that).

THere is so much more to this topic, but the only conclusion I can give after 40 years in this arena is that our security system is almost totally broken.

Sleep well tonight, if you are a blind fool!

this title is misleading, there's no evidence that Obama was denied a security clearance. The article is speculation on how he could be denied a clearance, based off of some sketchy recountings of his background and record.

Having foreign nationals as family members is not a disqualifier, nor is a past history of experimentation with drugs.

The association with anti-government groups part is a little wild, claiming that Bill Ayers killed hundreds of people. Bill Ayers is a troubling association, and one that warrants more (any) serious debate in the media, but he is not a mass murderer. Sure, it's safe to say that Bill Ayers was a founding member of the Weathermen, and has remained supportive of their causes throughout the years, but does the author of the article seriously believe that somehow Bill Ayers personally killed hundreds of people, including police officers, yet walks free?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

What is the problem here?

We have already done this with Bill Clinton, why should we balk now. Move along, nothing to see.

[JrsyJack]

but does the author of the article seriously believe that somehow Bill Ayers personally killed hundreds of people, including police officers, yet walks free?

personally killed...doubtful. Hundreds, definitely not, Ayers bombings were actually quite amateurish and ineffective. It was his followers that actually succeeded in killing someone.

My actual point is that in all fairness to the author, Ayers' guilt is not in question. He has admitted everything that he has been accused of. Actually lamented that he had not done enough (NYT 09/11/2001). He is on the street because of a technicality.

[ar15lib]

I think this is a hypothetical question, not a statement.

I’d disagree on the polygraph part...they’re worthless.

Innocent people get nervous and flunk them, while sociopaths can pass them.

Didn’t that Hansen guy who gave the Russians all that material pass multiple polygraphs?

As someone who worked as a consultant for a defense company, I, too, had to go through all of the checks, and also someone who studied those PowerPoint presentations on Security, all of the questions you raised are exactly what it covered in them.

I've also said that Obama would not receive any Security clearance.

Good Job!

[jim-x]

If William Ayers himself were elected President, he would have total access to any and all classified information.
I also believe he could classify or declassify anything he wanted, as he is the ultimate classification authority, and could restrict or grant access to anyone for any classified material or program.

[justiceseeker93]

Recall that there were a number of people at the Clinton WH who couldn’t get security clearances themselves. Fact is, these ‘Rats couldn’t give a hoot about such “formalities.”

[realcleanguy]

So far :)

[Freedom2specul8]

I really am interested in the outcome of that article.

btw: When I read the title of the thread...it says he’s already been denied. I just couldn’t believe it—well, in the sense that it actually happened already, but not surprised. I don’t want him to have it. lol Not trying to criticize you for that...but I had to reread the beginning of the article a couple of times to figure out what was going on..

Thanks for the info!!! LOVE your handle!!

[eyedigress]

That seems weird. Even though my friends and educators were talked to before I received 2 of mine. I wonder if they will talk to Ayers?

[sweetiepiezer]

Anyone get this out to the media yet?
Thanks for the ping LucyT.

[Smokin' Joe]

We already know 0bama is an an enema of the state.

He is an enema of the people, not the State.

Within a year of him being POTUS, the people would be cleaned out, but the State would still be full of it.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks to LucyT for pinging me.

Ping.
