Yeah, the FBI background check is notoriously thorough. They even introduced an all-new, near-instant database a couple months ago. Most people wouldn't pass those tests, especially for the DEA, because illegal drug use at any time adds a lot of red tape. CIA is even worse.
My federal background check (even the SF-85) took a lot longer, too, because I had an MIP on my record a few years back.
But who cares? Bush probably wouldn't get a clearance either with his DWI in the 1970s. Neither would McCain's wife with her past addiction to Percocet. Neither would most Americans.
Why is this relevant? The presidency, as well as all elected offices, do not require background investigations. That's what the opposing campaign is for.
And I don't think he'd be denied for entrance into the military, since any idiot with half a brain can always get into Army Infantry or support positions. With the way he'd probably score on the ASVAB, he'd probably get into Intelligence.
This would be like applying the rules for hiring a TSA inspector at an airport to the Secretary of the Treasury! IRRELEVANT! Plus, you don't understand the notion of one set of hiring criteria for WORKERS and another for MANAGEMENT!
Ughhhhh......And this is from who? Michael Savage and Sean Hannity. Christ Hammercy !!!! [MOD CUT]
