Obama Admin appointment questionnaire

[BanginJimmy]

To shed a little light on how they feel about the second ammendment

so does a potential supreme court nominee get this same questionnaire? The only intrest he could possibly have in the 2nd amendment would be to limit it or dump it all together.

This is pretty much the only valid curiosity that I see. I guess he either just respects people more who take care of themselves or he doesn't want to appoint someone who is about to croak.

I dont care about his curiosity, this is illegal to ask on a job application, and this IS a job application.

I certainly haven't forgotten, I just don't see any problem with him asking. I fully acknowledge that some of his answers might not be favorable on his own questionnaire.

So he is implying that he can do it, but no one else can.

Good leaders look for the best people they can to work under them,

I agree, but we are talking about a politician that is up for re-election in 4 years, not a leader. What do you think weighs heavier on his mind? Doing what is right for the country, diung what is right for the party, or getting re-elected? My vote goes to getting re-elected above all else. This is an ego driven man (like 90% of other politicans that run for president) and his legacy will be severely damaged if he cannot win a second term. He will always be the first black president, but without re-election he will be seen as a failure.

not just people that make the leader look good.

I dont agree at all. Look at the wording on a few of those questions. They specificly mention looking bad for Obama. I would say that he is very worried about making sure he looks good.

Once again, where does it say that if you answer a certain way to one of these questions you won't be considered for a position?

You make some good points on the other aspects (some I agree with, some I don't). But I respect your opinion on them nonetheless so I'm not going to dig any further into them. Plus the fact that I'm too lazy to continue multi-quoting and answering. Bed time.
