Thank you. Is it your opinion that that is the ONLY way and process that CIA recruits people???
No. It will target folks with specific language or technical skills and arrange for them to be approached for recruitment. Does Obama have any known language or technical skills?
As I said, when I went to take the all day foreign affairs test (it included a lot of SAT-type and IQ-type testing as well) over 200 people showed up on a campus near where I lived and it is my assumption that there were identical campus testing sites around the country administering the screening test on that date.
Getting an agent into the CIA as a double-agent is the highest priority for our enemies who were Soviet backed at the time.
People with a history of close personal and family ties to KGB-associated organizations, like Obama set off alarm bells.
UK espionage and a lot of US agents had been totally compromised in the recent past by double agent Kim Philby and The Cambridge Five. If you read his bio you will see a lot of parallel risk factors with Obama which CIA screening is designed to detect to enable weeding out such people:

“Harold Adrian Russell ‘Kim’ Philby (1 January 1912 – 11 May 1988[1]) was a high-ranking member of British intelligence who worked as a spy for and later defected to the Soviet Union. A communist, he served as an NKVD and KGB operative.[2]
“In 1963, Philby was revealed as a member of the spy ring now known as the Cambridge Five, along with Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross. Of the five, Philby is believed to have been most successful in providing secret information to the Soviet Union. His activities were moderated only by Stalin's concern that he might be a double agent.[3] Philby was an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) from 1946 to 1965.”
