Obama--No Security Clearance

Senator John McCain and all Americans should be questioning Obama about his friendships and friends.  With friends like Bill Ayers and others from Chicago, he would never get a security clearance as a government employee.  Why should we hand over the keys to the White House to this guy?

Senator John McCain challenged his Democratic presidential opponent Sen. Barack Obama's honor and honesty and must focus on Obama's character.  "My opponent's touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned," Mr. McCain said in New Mexico, suggesting that Mr. Obama was hiding something. "It's as if somehow the usual rules don't apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that."

In an across-the-board assault Monday, Mr. McCain accused Mr. Obama of lying on his economic record. The Republican's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has raised Mr. Obama's ties to William Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground group that bombed government buildings to protest the Vietnam War, and the Republican National Committee filed a complaint arguing that Mr. Obama had taken illegal campaign contributions.

The McCain campaign also announced a commercial arguing that the Democrat is "dishonorable" and "dangerous" for having voted against a troop funding bill. Mr. Obama did vote against one war-spending bill that became law, though he voted in favor of other versions.

Obama has extensive ties to a convicted felon from the Chicago housing scandal. The senator from Illinois said the new attacks were "political shenanigans, smear tactics," designed to distract from the economy issue. He does not want the American people know his friends and relationships to domestic and international terrorists.  Obama has admitted to drug abuse and using illegal substances.

How can a person sit in a Church pew for 20 years and not know the radical and racist thoughts and deeds of Reverend Wright?  Barack Hussein Obama does not have the character and personal dedication to country to be President.  As a GS employee, he could not even get a security clearance.
