October 15, 200817 yr Has anyone read that/heard that, if Barack Obama were to apply for a job with the FBI or the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist?
October 15, 200817 yr Never heard that but a quick search of the FBI's website reveals the qualifications for a job there. The mission of the FBI is vital to the safety and security of our nation and its citizens. Often, our work is very sensitive in nature. Therefore, all FBI positions require at least a Top Secret Security Clearance. How do you obtain such a clearance? Once you have received and accepted a conditional offer of employment, the FBI will initiate an intensive background investigation that you must pass before you can join the FBI. The investigation includes a polygraph examination; a test for illegal drugs; credit and records checks; and extensive interviews with former and current colleagues, neighbors, friends, professors, etc. There are also certain employment requirements that all candidates must meet in order to be eligible for consideration for employment with the FBI. Before applying for any FBI position, please make sure that the FBI Employment Disqualifiers do not apply to you. For details, please use the links listed here. EMPLOYMENT DISQUALIFIERS There are specific elements that will automatically disqualify job candidates for employment with the FBI. The FBI Employment Disqualifiers are: * Conviction of a felony * Use of illegal drugs in violation of the FBI Employment Drug Policy (see the FBI Employment Drug Policy for more details) * Default of a student loan (insured by the U.S. Government) * Failure of an FBI-administered urinalysis drug test * Failure to register with the Selective Service System (for males only)
October 15, 200817 yr More from the FBI website. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION FORMS Once you have been asked by an FBI representative to complete the FBI Background Investigation Forms, you will complete several forms: the SF-86 and the FD-979. Please review the following instructions carefully to ensure that you fully complete all of the required forms. About the SF-86 The SF-86 is a standard background investigation form used by the entire U.S. Intelligence Community. Several questions on the form ask for seven years of information. However, because of some security requirements unique to the FBI, we require certain questions to be answered back to age 18. Please ensure that you complete the following sections of the SF-86 back to age 18: Section 9 - Where You Have Lived (Residences) Section 10 - Where You Went to School (Education) Section 11 - Your Employment Activities Section 12 - People Who Know You Well (References) Section 17 - Your Foreign Activities Section 18 - Foreign Countries You Have Visited Section 21 - Your Medical Record Section 22 - Your Employment Record Section 23 - Your Police Record (questions e and f) Section 24 - Your Use of Illegal Drugs (questions a and c) Section 25 - Your Use of Alcohol Section 27 - Your Financial Record Section 28 - Your Financial Delinquencies (question a) Section 29 - Public Record Civil Court Actions
October 15, 200817 yr I ddon't know about all of that, but I do know Ayers wife is not allowed to have a law license because of their pasts.
October 15, 200817 yr A bad credit history can prevent a person from getting a TS clearance. Hanging out with communists, socialists, and terrorists after the age of 16 would be a major hurdle for most people to clear.
October 15, 200817 yr Obama would never pass a back ground check for the level of security clearance the President has.
October 15, 200817 yr Obama would never pass a back ground check for the level of security clearance the President has. Link???
October 15, 200817 yr I'd say the President has little problem getting his TS clearance. As most folks have maintained, his relationship with Ayers was minimal. It would take a conspiracy with Ayers to disqualify him. I mean heck, if they'll give me a security clearance (which they did) they'll give one to Obama. :lol:

They generally only give those out to those who, as they say, have a need to know and most people don't have a need to know Top Secret information.
October 15, 200817 yr Did they give you Top Secret clearance?

I just meant if they would give me any type of clearance then Obama would be good. :lol:
October 15, 200817 yr How can you prove that Obama couldn't get TS clearance? Do you honestly believe he would have not problem getting it? He applies for a position at the CIA which would require him to have the highest level of clearance. Do you honestly believe with his, let's say questionable at best, past he wouldn't have a problem getting it? Whether you think there is anything to the Ayers, Mansour, or Resko stuff doesn't matter. The fact that he is connected to them is enough.
