The Tentacles Of Yesterday

Phillip West

I've got one MOTHER OF ALL QUESTIONS. Who and which Federal Agency conducted and cleared Barak Hussein Obama for a SECURITY CLEARANCE? As President of the United States, shouldn't he at least pass a TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE with BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION????? When was it conducted and who authorized the clearance? Please pass this on to everyone that cares about the future of our country.

Will Carpenter The thing is Phillip you don't have the final say on the definition of "Patriotism". I'm a liberal and I love and served this country too. If you don't like the direction this country is going then run for office.

Brian Pedersen Phillip West Eh, lots of BS on here from a lot of people, but mostly you Phil. For someone I'm sure that professes a huge amounts of love and respect for the US constitution you don't seem to know much about it.

Qualifications to be president of the United States are explicitly laid out. Being able to obtain a TS-SCI in whomever they are contracting with through JPAS (I think) isn't one of them, nor should it be. If it was I don't imagine that George W Bush or Bill Clinton would have passed (admitted drug use, numerous misdemeanors, other suspect behavior).

To save you the time here's the list:

"Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Phillip West When I see retired Generals and some that were removed from office confirming that this administration has asked the question "If they were ordered, would they fire on American Citizens?" I get concerned for the Balance of Powers and who wields them. I know the whole requirement for President of the United States, and have read The Constitution multiple times. I was raising a question to see what kinds of answers I would receive, and responded to others posts. I started this thread for a reason. AWARENESS. Would any of you reading this Fire your Tank on American Citizens if "'ORDERED" to do so?

Christopher Walker The house needs to be cleaned unfortunately it has been too top heavy for too long at a big expense....more flag officers than in WWII ill just give one example the accessions branch was made to specifically give a general his third star...it was disbanded after 7 years after it was determined it only wasted money at the tune of tens to hundreds of millions....it was a command that was in between USAREC and TRADOC and served no purpose....their last act was to move the whole HQ to fort knox paying all the costs to move civilian workers and paid them bonuses to move just to can it less than a year later in the same FY....

Gotbit you think our president is horrible but erroding the constitution but give a specific that he did himself that had never ever ever been done before

Phillip West He has withheld "ALL" of his Educational and Professional records. How he financed his education and a myriad of other hidden or sealed records that may or probably disqualify him to hold public office. Name any other President that sealed "ALL" of their records.

Phillip West Christopher Walker, If he has gone into so much detail to keep his past from being known, if the truth were public, would the American Voters have elected him from the start? What does he have to hide? I haven't believed a word from him since day 1, but that's my opinion. A lot of people are blinded by freebies, and erosion of the Constitution by circumvention. Race by far was a factor in the elections, not that Romney would be any better, and Romney's destroyed millions of American Jobs. The FOIA will allow some records to be made public, but only if they are not sealed by the individual. Grades, Classes Taken etc... By the Way, Like your profile pic, have The Bear "Touch of Gray" tattooed on my back.
