Apparently, Barry is looking to hire Glinda The Good
Want a top job in the Obama administration? Only pack rats need apply, preferably those not packing controversy.
A seven-page questionnaire being sent by the office of President-elect Barack Obama to those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive — some say invasive — application ever.
The questionnaire includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps.
Only the smallest details are excluded; traffic tickets carrying fines of less than $50 need not be reported, the application says. Applicants are asked whether they or anyone in their family owns a gun. They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.
Some of the questions include
- Have you ever hung with an unreformed domestic terrorist?
- Have you ever earmarked $1 million for the hospital your wife works at, then seen her get a massive raise?
- Have you ever had your peeps sue to silence your critics?
- Have you ever worked against the security and/or foreign policy interests of the United States?
Interestingly, much of the real substance in the questionnaire are focused on the question “will you be an embarrassment to Obama?” Two of the names thrown around for the Barry administration are John Kerry and Jamie Gorelick. Let’s see: John Kerry came back from Vietnam and not only consistently smeared his fellow soldiers, but went to Paris on at least one occasion to speak with the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Jamie Gorelick was the one who put in The Wall between law enforcement and intelligence, which certainly helped lead to not being able to stop 9/11.
Of course, to Liberals, those are embarrasments, but a sourse of pride. Especially since the first question asks for all resumes for the past 10 years, to avoid resume falsehoods. I wonder if he asked Joe Biden for one.
