Obama Couldn't Be Cleared by FBI Security Check
Obama Would Fail FBI Security Clearance Background
Investigation
Obama Couldn't Be Cleared

The lowest-ranking enlisted persons in the Armed Forces of the United States
who are expected to handle sensitive matters in the scores of jobs involving
classified equipment or written material must be investigated before obtaining
their security clearance. Could Barack Obama gain such a clearance? To begin,
the clearance applicant would have to complete a detailed personal history form
that includes, if necessary, government access to all health and education
files. This is the starting point of all security investigations. Top Secret
clearance involves a field investigation rather than the Secret version that is
usually limited to a "name check" that is a basic police and public information
file review. For the TS clearance an investigator will visit the home
neighborhoods and work place sites of the applicant in search of supportive
and/or derogatory references. If the clearance is extended further into the
handling of information of such importance that it requires a compartmented
distribution, the field and document investigation is pursued with considerable
vigor over a lengthy period of time. Nuclear and other sensitive technical or
political matters fall into this category. In all cases, whether on the lower
level or up to the most sensitive intelligence, the background of the
applicant's personal and business involvement forms the nucleus of the initial
phase of the investigation. The people with whom the applicant associates lead
the investigator to personal connections and matters relative to the
individual's character, beliefs and past acts appropriate to matters of
security. Eligibility for clearance at all levels is directly influenced by the
people with whom one associates. Yes, who your friends are and have been does
count -- a great deal. This is true, of course, in many types of police
investigations where suspicion is adequate reason for further inquiry. In
matters of security clearance, past associations often can mean the end of the
process rather than just the beginning. Considering Barack Obama as a candidate
for a top secret security clearance status with a full array of compartmented
clearances, one has to be cognizant of the fact that there is considerable
evidence of associations and even assistance from individuals with past criminal
records or who have expressed anti-American beliefs. Obviously admitted domestic
terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, as well as recently
convicted felon, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, fall into this category. There is no
possibility that a Top Secret clearance would be awarded to a member of the
Armed Forces whose background included such associations. An intelligence
service clearance for the handling of highly classified material would be
totally out of the question. IF THERE IS SOME hesitancy to accept that Barack
Obama's associations would have precluded his obtaining a TS clearance with
compartmented information access, it should be realized he would have had to
pass both a polygraph test and a personal psychological evaluation. What are the
chances of his being willing to take these tests, to say nothing of his passing,
in light of his refusal even to make his educational records available? It may
be deemed unfair, but a child of an American mother and a foreign-born non-U.S.
citizen father always receives additional scrutiny. So does the fact that
questions have arisen concerning the source of funding for Obama's law school
education. According to a well-researched article by Kenneth Timmerman
(Newsmax), Obama was assisted financially by Khalid al-Mansour through the
latter's rich Saudi contacts. Mansour has been referred to as a "Black
Nationalist and a Black Muslim" who was a mentor to the founders of the radical
Black Panther Party of the 1960s. All of these matters would have arisen in a
normal security clearance. The harsh truth is that the United States is willing
to accept presidential candidates like Barack H. Obama who could never gain a
Top Secret clearance if he was simply a U.S. Army enlisted man. And yet Obama
wants to be Commander-in-Chief. Something is wrong here!

usage. Bottom line is, as a person who has held a TS/SBI clearance, if Senator
Obama were to have gone into the military, he would not have been vetted and
given this clearance. The amazing part, as many already know, is that most
elected officials do not need a security clearance and POTUS is not required to
have one either. In this I have to agree with VF, I have always felt that a
person who is going to be the POTUS and CinC should have as a minimum the
ability to pass a TS/SBI screening by not only the FBI, but the DIS, CIA, and
NSA (mainly because still in this day and few of the intelligence agencies share
sensitive information). *xenforcement

high elected officials including the president of the US should undergo a
complete background check as FBI agents etc.. go through. I just watched a video
today of FBI agents graduating on a Cnn clip and our current president speaking
to the class. What a joke! And we have people running for commander/chief
without proper clearances!! Forget it people, we live in a nation that doesn't
care.
