   I think you might be assuming too much. All the questionnaire does is ask people to state their background, doesn’t say anything about automatic grounds for disqualification. Nobody has a perfect background (except me, of course) but it is important to know what that background is.

   Besides, Obama went through pretty much a similar background check when running for president in front of the public and looks like he got the job.

   I think the questionnaire and a thorough background check is utterly necessary. Just as women were scrutinized at a higher level once they broke through the glass ceiling in certain professions,President-elect Obama will be watched more closely than any recent person in that office since he is the first black man to hold that office. There are many who are cheering, but probably almost as many who want to tear him to bits, even before he’s sworn in. He has to be better than the best, and his staff has to be beyond reproach to even hit the zero mark.

   The questionnaire lists, “the state of the applicant’s health;” I thought it became illegal to ask this on a job interview about eight years ago, no?

   Mr.Barack Hussein Obama claims as his defense, no more “guilt by association”. Of course He needs it to depurate his actitudes of the past.
   However it was all right for Mr.Obama to bring about Mr.McCain’s “associations” with president Bush and Mr.Chaney but let’s see and understand why Mr.Obama does not want that “guilt by association” parameter to be applies to him, recalling the soviet communists slogan..”what is mine is mine, what is yours it is negotiable”.
   Compare to “his” associations mr.McCain’s looked pale. Let us review some:
   -Participation in Marxists circles while in Harvard University.
   -Assisting to a “church” where its pastor mr.Wright carried violent slander and racists attack against United States, the land that “invented” AIDS to destroy Africa and where Mr.Obama never stood up to protest on the spot and correct Mr.Wright remembering him that it precisely in America where people like him had the right to SPEAK FREELY and LIVE IN LIBERTY(but that’s fine, anyhow Mr.Wright ever intented to leave America for Africa, it’s all demagoguery, bull and abuse of this Grea Nation. In fact this People get more than what They contribute).
   -Mr.Obama had a friendship with a scoundrel like Mr.Ayers a sworn communist terrorist who dreamt about to surrender his own country to the savagery of the Communist Russian system, enslaver of Russia and Eastern Europe.
   -Mr.Obama wants us to forget “his mistake” for his association with rascal Tony Rezko, association that gave fruit to good real estate deals. He, mr.Obama, is just a innocent saint, surrounded by crooks; unlucky fellow.
   Of course it was unfair to bring all these facts about, all this “guilt by association” but
   Mr.McCain was black listed in the eyes of the American electorate for his “association” with president Bush; a child play compared with mr.Obama’s associations.
   He did not use to salute our Flag; it does not matter anymore. His wife was very disgusted with the America She knew, till her husband got promoted. That does not matter anymore.
   Mr.Obama’s genius “deducted” for us that the Surge in Irak was going to fail; it does not matter, the “messiah” is a genius, one that makes mistakes, but still in the eyes of the fools a genius. One that has only done a lot of TALKING and a lot of LISTENING. The former in the US Senate without ever bringing a great proposition or law across. The latter to poisonous Marxists theories in his days where he thought communism was the answer “to cure” America.
   One has to remember “mass hysteria” before in history. The arrival of Adolph Hitler to power on January 30, 1933. The Anschlus of Austria to Germany, March 1938. All in the mist of paroxisms
   The Swiss say “every society has what it deserves” We are surprised someone, on CNN or The New York Times, does not come across with the proposition of extending the reelection for
   presidential terms from two to three periods!
   Irak had its Hussein; We..got ours.
   China had its Gang of Four, headed by Madame Mao, we have ours: Kennedy-Pelosi-Reid-Obama.
   Nothing new under the Sun.

   Bush is public enemy number one around the world? Perhaps so. At least until the other country needs US dollars to help recover from natural disasters.

   Recovery Plan:
   Step 1 - Focus on House of Reps race 2010.
   Step 2 - Begin 2012 campaign in 2010.
   Step 3 - Open up grass roots web site to spearhead movement.
   Step 4 - Remove Address Verification for credit cards at the site (Obama shouldn’t be able to complain since he wanted to take contributions from around the world).
   Step 5 - Rejoice when Obama’s 4 year record of failing to fulfill his empty promises is the main reason he fails to win a second term.

   don’t think he will loose? Remember this, not one vote from McCain will switch over… and Obama has to hold onto every person who voted for him. Watch how many decide their first vote might not have been a good deal.

   Unfortunately he still won the white house so now we’re stuck with an unqualified person who doesn’t tell us what “change” he will implement who associates with a racist and a borderline terrorist (think the bombs and revolution guy). Dispicable.
