Barack already has the highest security clearance.

Thanks for mentioning security. Because of Bush's move to war and McCain's authorization of it, I feel less secure. And since there is a warrant out for Bush to be arrested in New England and tried as a war criminal, Bush is the one that shouldn't pass a security clearance. And how do you people associate a 5 year old child (which is what Obama was when the Black Panthers were still in vogue in the sixties) with terrorists? And you must be white or a new immigrant because FYI America was legally segregated in the sixties and the Black Panthers was one of many groups who wanted the right to vote and attend schools etc. Unless of course you think wanting to be a voter and a student and be black at the same time qualifies as terrorist thinking. Obama sits on foreign affairs committees of our nation's highest legislative body. He already has the highest security clearance. Read a newspaper sometime. God bless Obama and the US of A
