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.

Being an accessory to Murdering Thousands of Christians in KENYA might have blown the Resume’ as well, but OH! WELL!

Using the Alias of Barack HUSSEIN Obama Jr. would be a Failure too, but now he is above the LAW!

Barack the Magic Marxist also wants to know who owns a gun and “to provide complete registration information.”

Guess Rahm Emanuel is now off the list as he was a director at Freddie Mac.

What a crock.

This is hilarious. It’s like an application for the Waffen SS asking if you have any anti-Semitic tendencies...

Looks like Free Republic is having more technical issues. Like the government, throw more money at it and it still doesn’t work right. LOL ;)

That explains this e-mail from Washington, I guess:

“Dear Mr. headsonpikes:

Please be advised that we do not forsee a need for your services and talents at this time.

yrs, etc.”

“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.

That disqualifies most of Zero's transition team, and of course his rumored pick for Attorney General, Jamie "Wall of Separation" Gorelick.

It sure would have sunk him. He also did not have to and wasn't even asked about, his ability to pass the same check. Interesting that his aliases, associations and such, were said to not matter, but now for applicants it does. Doesn't apparently matter for those he appoints either.

How on earth all these question included on this app. were not, were not allowed to be, asked of HIM!

Like that made any difference with Rahm Emmanuel.

I can pass the same vetting/background check the DNC ran on Zero:

I can still fog a mirror and I have a current Communist Party, USA membership card.

What else does Maximum Leader need?
