Could You Pass Obama's Background Check?

President-Elect Tries To Weed Out Controversial Candidates

Applicants for President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet get ready to chronicle your life story.

Those interested in joining Obama's administration have to pass an extensive background test.

The questionnaire, the New York Times reported, includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps, the Times said.

Obama wants applicants to “list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet,” and asks people to include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook.com pages.

Hoping to weed out anyone with ties to companies at the center of the $700 billion bailout, question 18 of the Obama application asks whether “you, your spouse or any member of your immediate family” have been affiliated with Fannie, Freddie, American International Group, Washington Mutual and any other institution getting a government bailout.

“President-elect Obama made a commitment to change the way Washington does business, and the vetting process exemplifies that,” Stephanie Cutter, chief spokeswoman for the Obama transition office, told the Times.

His own Chief of Staff flunks this test. What a clown show.

Obama would NEVER be granted a postion with a HIGH SECURITY pass - but as President that’s okay ... rolling my eyes.

BTW did Obambi EVER release his MEDICAL RECORDS?

Will Obambi EVER release his BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

Will Obambi EVER release his GRADES or WRITING in college?

Samrt money says they don’t care about your communist, terrorist or criminal sympathies or ties - they just don’t want some flagrant bozo without deep cover to embarrass them as they prepare to dismantle the country.

Yes, this charlatan mad-man socialist could not even begin to pass his fake test. What a sham — and this fool thinks that this will make him look like he has ANY interest in ethics, credibility, morals, values, honesty, etc.

A living lie. A professional liar. A socialist.

Too bad this man wasn't vetted with similar questions before he was elected, the whole Freddie/Fannie thing would have sunk him alone.

Only those who didn't care didn't know about his affiliations and he was still voted in. Didn't matter how much baggage he had the people didn't care.
