This guy is pro second amendment

[Charade]

I was wondering about that, too.

Same here but I suspect he's a control freak.

 

[Magic Mom]

I agree. And I shouldn't have spoken for his motives, I was just speculating. Maybe "minimize" scandal would have been a better way of phrasing it.

Probably, I'm sure they all want that.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

Unless he plans on hiring bunny rabbits, there's no chance of having zero potential for scandal.

 

[freckles and boo]

Same here but I suspect he's a control freak.

Considering the extreme scrutiny, I would probably be a control freak, too. It can't hurt to at least try to cover every potential avenue for scandal. I don't even think bunny rabbits are immune from bad behavior. They are reported to boink with great frequency.

 

[Magic Mom]

I don't like the gun question, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they are focusing on the "registration or past crime" area of the guns. But the question that really gets me is the one regarding medical conditions. That seems extremely invasive to me.

aahhh then they would have fit better with the Clinton adminstration, I suppose.

They do! They are furry, beady-eyed little heathens!!

I think that this past election and the subsequent campaigns have shown us that it is very important to be certain your people are thoroughly vetted. Internet rumors spread like wildfire, and media interest is in.sane. Better to come forth with 'incriminating' evidence than to have someone from your opposing party find it on their own. I also don't think he's looking for perfection. I think honesty and humility are very important. Again, speculating.

It's a good thing the questionnaire didn't ask about what you have hanging on the wall of your family room... Guess I'm still OK

 

[jeanadave]

Question 233: What type of cigars do you purchase? Do you smoke them?

This one would have been good for Clinton administration too

 

[freckles and boo]

It didn't ask if you watch inane reality tv shows either, so I am still in the running.

 

[Magic Mom]

You're addicted to inane political debate with strangers on the internet....of course your disqualified! I'm disquilified for my questionable relationship with a Legion member...<GASP>

Well, just in case Bill is under consideration for Undersecretary of the Secretary....they had to include that question.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

I'm sure Bill would enjoy being under the secretary. Sorry!!

 

[GeorgeG]

Bunny rabbits can be a problem. Just ask Elmer Fudd about that "pesky little wabbit."

I think the question about the detailed information for all guns owned could be for future use in disarming America. Hey, it's a start.

Seriously, though, we need to try to get a grip on just how much of this is straight from Obama and how much is from an over-zealous staff. We'll see how this all plays out soon enough.

 

[yeartolate]

Well, he enjoyed Head of State....

This is a very long form to fill out. I'm surprised the form didn't have a question about sexual relationships or sex scandals.

 

[Colleen27]

Its a smart move on his part. This way, when the press digs up something (be it an illegal housekeeper, an unlicensed weapon, a late tax payment, or a leaked e-mail), he can lay the blame squarely at the feet of the person against whom the accusation was made because that person obviously lied and was thusly serving the administration under false pretenses.

If there is fault to be found with this, I think it is in the fact that this ridiculousness is necessary, not in the fact that a president would want to cover all the bases of potential scandal.

 

["Got Disney"]

They want people to tell any embarrassing things that they've written in their diaries.

could you imagine

That's right after all they are politicians and scandal should be there middle names

Well, he enjoyed Head of State....

That's funny

This is a very long form to fill out. I'm surprised the form didn't have a question about sexual relationships or sex scandals.

well the way it keeps popping up about sex scandals with these politicians maybe they figure if it is on there they would have no one to hire because so many would answer yes to the question....

Its kinda like dont ask dont tell or what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas....however cigar smoking is much more important so lets put that on the list instead

 

[TLSnell1981]

I guess, he won't be able to hire anyone out DC or Chicago?
