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.

The FBI didnt’ check your birthing records. They just wanted to know if you were a good boy and could be trusted.
I found this article on security clearances.
“Meanwhile, members of congress are not subject to any type of background check. They are merely asked to promise not to reveal any of the nation’s secrets. That’s it. According to a seasoned professional, Winslow Wheeler, with 31 years experience on Capitol Hill, members of Congress are granted security clearance simply by being elected. Winslow worked for the Senate Budget Committee for six years as a security official. He recently published a book about Congress and national security.”

August 24, 2008 at 3:03 PM #261099Allan from FallbrookParticipantJohn: Amateur sleuthing aside, why on earth wouldn’t this story have been picked up by the MSM if there was validity to it?
Fact checking is the cornerstone to good journalism, so it begs the question that if the document in question was not valid, and provably so, then this would be the single most compelling story of the election, especially since it would invalidate Obama’s candidacy.
So? What’s the story there? Is there some massive coverup that includes the MSM, or (more likely) is this nothing other than an overblown case of hot air and hyperbole?
