Obama: Does anyone know what type of clearance check Senator or President Obama had to go through before he could take office?
1. Was it a very intense, very detailed type of background check?
2. That is, did president-elect Obama have to present his long form Hawaii birth certificate in order to pass an intense, detailed clearance check?
3. For instance, did the soldier have to present his birth certificate in order to pass an intense clearance check?
4. Did the soldier go through a more intense background check than president-elect Obama went through? Thanks.
