Obama Couldn’t Be Cleared by FBI Security Check
Obama Would Fail FBI Security Clearance Background Investigation
Obama Couldn’t Be ClearedBy George H. Wittman on 10.17.08 @ 6:07AM 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.

admitted drug 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

all 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.
