Let e get this straight:

Obama couldn't get a security clearance today if he had to. Perhaps he got his first security clearance after winning the presidential election of 2008.

Clinton couldn't have gotten a security clearance either because of various activities as a student. He did get his first security clearance after the 1992 presidential elections.

So; all democratic presidents for the last 30 years, a generation if you will, have been deemed illegible to have access to national security issues until they became legible for residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Do we live in a great country or what?

The great American problem has always been our over-willingness to give anyone a broad benefit of the doubt and which throughout our history has caused us much pain and suffering which only ends when the slap up side the head shows with no doubt, those we gave the benefit, mean us grave harm.

An old Intel CWO4 said:

“In the military, John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama wouldn’t be cleared to know what time it is!”

What this means is that no one, absolutely no one, should be elected to President or to the Congress that can’t get a security clearance. It’s foolish to do otherwise. Especially since it is the security of the United States that is at risk.
