Vanity.
We're just in-laws for pete's sake. WE are not the employees. I have no problem providing this information as I KNOW what hospital, when and where I was born.
The first thought that went through my head was, "Tell Zero's State Department to pony up HIS bonafides first!" The tyrant is demanding information from not only his employees, but his employees family members, that HE WON'T DO HIMSELF!
ARRRGHGHGHH!!!
Sorry, done screaming now.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
I keep hoping and praying that the CIA will get back at the Obamaslime by exposing his records.
Come on, CIA, your worst is much better than anyone in the White House right now.
Do it.
If a security clearance is being applied for, this is normal. But you are correct, Obama needs to do the same.
Tell ‘em you were born in Kenya in 1961. That seems to be the magic formula these days....
re-certified for what?
For many decades it’s been customary to get background information of all family members (yes inlaws too) to obtain or update a security clearance- even to call the neighbors and ask questions about the applicant. My mother’s neighors thought I committed a crime when they all got called by security investigators.
obama, by election, was never vetted for a security clearance. Clinton waived a lot of his staffers through the system
Just taking a wild guess.
I was denied ... my unemployment is too much
tell them it all burned up in a house fire 2) you’re checking with Hawaii right now 3) you can’t recall
Years ago the preacher that lives next door to me stopped by to ask, “if everything was okay” after some folks showed up at his door asking questions about me.
This of course was during my SSBI.
They are pretty thorough...
That is a problem that has existed from the framing of the Constitution until today. It needs to be taken care of either through legislation or an amendment to the Constitution that sets up the criteria and process of what info that must be provide to whom in order to be qualified to be elected President. The sad thing is there apparently isn't any effort ongoing to accomplish the need.
In credit circles, and now with this administration, it is considered a “hard pull”
It’s unbelievable how much information you need to provide to get and renew a security clearance. We had to go back and make a family tree just to get everything we needed. I had to provide addresses of every place I had ever lived and the name, address, and phone number of three people that could verify each address. Maybe not a big deal if you don’t move a lot, but there were periods during my military career where we moved 12 times in 3 years.
And so one must wonder how the son of Frank Marshal Davis - Father with a 600 page FBI file and a 19 year investigation.....came to work for the Defense Intelligence Agency.
As you know, Obama would have never received a security clearance.
Can’t say - classified.
I heard all the complaining from the right to privacy crowd in the media.
‘crickets’
They are pretty thorough...
Yeah, and those things hurt. I would rather have a prostate exam.
A tinfoilhatter would say "There's no need, because BO is going to set himself up as Dictator-for-Life".
I'm not one of those types.
I would not be surprised, however, if this quietly gets taken care of along about 2013. After BO's 2nd term election is decided one way or the other.
Maybe sooner, if it looks like he's going down in a Reaganesque Landslide in 2012 and an "Electable Democrat" (Hillary?) needs a clear shot.
