I have only one question: If you or I, or anyone, wanted to apply for an entry level position with the Secret Service, or with any Federal agency charged with protecting and serving, I'm sure there would be a background check that would take at least 6 months... the investigators would go into your social life, who you know and who you knew as far back as you can remember... they would closely examine your college grades, your college activities, your high school grades, high school activities, and so on all the way back as far as you can give information about you... they would scrutinize your employment history and your business activities and your business partners and associates... I think you get the idea... after all, you would be responsible for handling the most secret of all information necessary to protect America... BUT, why is it that any time anyone even utters the suggestion to look at obama's college history and associations, he denies access? He's keeping a significant portion of his past hidden from view. This would immediately disqualify you or me from applying for that low level entry level position... if we associated at all with a known terrorist, it would disqualify us immediately, if we donated money to ACORN it would disqualify us immediately, obama gave them $800K to perform services for him and he represented them in court on several occasions... our association with Rezkow (sp.) alone would also disqualify us immediately... BUT, he has all this in his recent past, yet he gets a pass on all of it just because he refuses access to any of that information? And yet, he's applying for the highest position in the world, the leader of the free world, the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces, and no one can look into his past? Don't you find this just a little odd? GZ

It's time for women to get more than a little riled with Obama---------look at the comparison between how the good Senator McCain values the women on his staff and how Obama does not value the women on his staff. johnmccain.com Barack Obama: All Talk on Equal Pay "Barack Obama claims he's for equal pay for women, but women working in his Senate office earn an average of $9,000 less than men, while women in John McCain's Senate office earn an average of nearly $2,000 more than men. American women understand that real leadership is about what you do, not just what you say." -- McCain-Palin spokeswoman Crystal Benton "FACT CHECK: Records Show Women Working In Obama's Senate Office Were Paid Average Of $9,000 Less Than Men According To Senate Records, Women Working In Obama's Senate Office Paid An Average Of $9,000 Less Than Men, As "Obama Pays Women Just 83 Cents For Every Dollar His Men Make." "Obama's commitment to federally mandated pay equity stretches from the Rockies to Wall Street and beyond. And yet it seems to have eluded his Senate office. Compensation figures for his legislative staff reveal that Obama pays women just 83 cents for every dollar his men make." (Deroy Murdock, Op-Ed, "Obama Only Talks Good Game On Gender Pay Equity," Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 9/11/08) " Posted by mj , no relationship to Mistermj
