John: Yup, they did. They verified where I went to school, and that everything I claimed on my application for clearance was true and correct. My mom was thrilled that she had “G-men” in the house, but less thrilled when they spent four plus hours grilling her with question after question, including those related to my “after hours” habits when I was a teenager.
The FBI would indeed do a background check on Obama, given that he sat on one of the committees where the Bureau is tasked to do so, namely the Senate Committee for Foreign Relations.
Again, John, this is a tempest in a teacup. It is too glaring and too obvious, especially with all the attention being paid to it in the blogosphere right now. Even if, by someone astonishing miracle, everyone else had missed it to this point, some enterprising investigative journalist would have broken the story open, love of Obama be damned. And, no, I don’t buy the idea that the MSM spiked the story because they think Obama is the Second Coming of JFK.
