Is this not so? Why would military (as I was) and FBI and others be required to do this and not those who represent us, especially in matters of national security? Am I wrong?

Or maybe everyone's still so dillusioned from the great hope Obama is making them feel. The thing is we are currently fighting the War on Terror. Why arn't people scared to death of this man? He's affiliated with terrorists. Isn't that enough? What happened to the terrorist paranoia wave sweeping the nation the past eight years? Now, that this great "Messiah" has comenobody cares about the past anymore? And notice how all he says is look to the future and change. This might just be my own paranoia, but seriously can we really trust that? He's sending PrObamas to McCain/Palin rallies to start fights. Is that really what the nation needs? Has anyone heard of the death threats? I thought the inabillity to pronounce "nuclear" would scare people, and I think it did. It's just the fact that people are getting death threats and that this "messiah" was affiliated with Wright and Ayers yet nobodys scared. Also, on a lighter note the debates should have been called "The Maverick vs. The Messiah '08" Isn’t it kind of odd that the Ayers and Wright stuff isn’t phasing people in the slightest?

From what I understand, it is exceedingly difficult to get a high level security clearance if you have relatives in foreign countries or have held dual citizenship with another country.

Pollsters have been complaining for months about the hang-up rate when they are polling. It's somewhere between 60-80%. Wonder how that large group of hang-up's is going to vote? I think we have all seen that it can be dangerous to say you are NOT supporting Obama. At this very point in time (who knows what the future will bring) we still have privacy voting.

Another indication that senators had security clearances was an article dated October 5, 2001 which states that George W. Bush "<em>Pulls security clearance from 92 Senators</em>". So it is entirely possible that none of these 92 senators, including Senator Clinton, have ever had one since 2001. It also states that "<em>President Bush issued an order limiting access to classified intelligence only to 8 members of Congress — the Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committee</em>." Now whether GWB had authority to pull these security clearances on a political whim or not is beside the point; if they did not have a security clearance there would be no need to pull them. I remember when this was done and although information on security clearances for government officials, elected and appointed, is hard to find some of the information can be found by putting pieces of the puzzle together; but it defeats the purpose of electing government leaders if information about what they are voting on is kept from them because of not having a security clearance. However, how a security clearance could be issued for Soertoro/Obama who has closer ties to terrorist organizations than those citizens put on no fly lists by Homeland Security defeats logic! Does your friend know how Soertoro/Obama could slip through? I've been vetted for low level security clearances for employment but have never known anyone bold enough to even try if they knew they didn't meet the criteria so this run for the office of president with Soertoro/Obama's background <em>after</em> 9/11 and the creation of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act is unprecedented!
