Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation
North Star Writers Group ^ | October 10, 2008 | Gregory D. Lee

Posted on 10/10/2008 5:08:45 AM PDT by Invisigoth

A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.

He doesn’t know how right he is.

Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter. His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.

There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayres felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.

Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.

I’m fearful that Obama will try to insure a certain win by getting caught smoking crack in a hotel room with a hooker.

Moot point. When elected President, he will, under the US Constitution have unlimited access to classified information and control of the nuclear arsenal.

Obama will go down in history as the most successful communist mole ever. Nobody else even comes close.

Now there’s an ad McCain should make.....

National security? Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation for a Marine Private.

Not ready to lead

Yep.

There are many reasons he wouldn’t be cleared. Campaigning for Odinga. Associations with a known terrorist. Drug use. On and on.

The only way this man would have access to state secrets is to become President. Apparently his skin tone was the perfect accessory to that goal. For some, having a First Black President supercedes all rational thought. Even for those who are not black, but want to prove to themselves and others how NOT racist they are.

My son had to get his record cleared because in high school, he was arrested when one of the people in the car he was riding in had a joint in their shoe. He couldn’t join the army until that was cleared up. Luckily the judge recognized it was kind of a bum rap (even though I warned him about the company he kept, but you know teenagers) and wanted him to join the service since he was a good student and hadn’t had any other trouble.

But if something as “harmless” as that could keep him out of the military, what on earth would Obama do about a security clearance?

Joe McCarthy might disagree with that statement.

Proof Obama backed ruthless, foreign thug [Raila Odinga]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2102127/posts

[The emails Jerome Corsi mentioned on Hannity]

The e-mails, apparently sent by Obama himself, referenced the senator’s aide, Mark Lippert. The e-mails were provided to WND by an insider in Kenya who fled Odinga’s Orange Democratic political party and requested anonymity because of the danger of retaliation.

He has successfully avoided everyone he has ever needed to take.

Even skipped Interning at the Spreme Court while the president of the Harvard Law review because it required him to take one.

Not exactly correct.

To pass a background investigation, if you have been a bad boy and done some bad things, and declared it in your investigation forms, it will not disqualify you. They will kick your drug test up 2 notches to see if you are a current user/abuser.

As far as associations, Ayres was not convicted, and the forms specifically state “Convicted Felons”. Rezco (sp?) would not have a bearing unless there was a close relationship that would conclude that the applicant should have known what was going on.

Remember, Bush had a DUI. If disclosed on the forms does not disqualify you, but engages additional investigation to see if you are a current abuser of alcohol.

And, as stated above, it is a moot point. As POTUS, you get total access. That is how it should be.

Remember, Ollie North was a convicted felon, so was Scooter Libby. Should anyone who associates with them not be clearable?

I have known a LOT of questionable characters who have obtained and maintained high level clearances. GREAT at their jobs, awful in their personal life.

Also, there was a time when if you were divorced, that made you ineligible for certain clearances. Same if you had ANY mental health items, including seeing a therapist.

Exactly! This is not the path to victory. I was listening to the younglings at work yesterday. They were laughing at Republican attempts to connect Obama with Ayers.

The only hope I see of salvaging a complete Democrat route is to aggressively advertise, night and day, how the Democrats are responsible for the current economic crisis.

The election is supposed to be that background investigation. Too bad it doesn’t work that way.

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.
