Questionnaire for working in Obama administration

The full questionnaire is available for download from the NY Times website. The key question for those of us in the gun culture is Q.59 which asks about the applicants gun ownership. It makes the assumption that any gun you own would, of course, be registered and they want to know if that registration ever lapsed. They also want to know if it was ever used to injure anyone or anything.

This gives as good an indication on where they stand on gun ownership as anything. It shows their mindset and what we will be fighting in the coming years.

How and by whom it was usee - Besides myself and my imediate family it they have been used by anyone that wants to give them a try;

Cause of personal injuries - Besides when I tried to shoot the coon under the trailer and the slide tore my thumbnail off, or the time I tried to rack the slide and took all the skin off two knuckles, or how about the time I forgot it was a revolver and not a semi-auto and stuck my finger up next to the front of the cylinder ... how many things do you want;

Property damage - does that include laying across the pick up box side for a long range shot and sending a round through the other box side, or maybe laying across the hood and creasing it with a well placed shot ...

What do me that just by thinking about guns disqualified me from the job

Good thing I have no desire for a job in the BHO administration, I guess.

This is why "good" people won't go to Washington.   I'm not going to spend hours on end answering these questions.  Should I send bHO an email or handwritten regrets?

[Grizzle_Bear]

Maybe we all ought to get this form and fill it out and send it in.

It will take them so long to go through all of them that they won't be able to get anything done.

Which is the best we can hope for from this bunch.

  Holy Crap!! I haven't even finished reading all the questions and I have a headache! It would take me a few days to list all the crap they want to know about you, why don't they just have the FBI and the IRS do a background check on each applicant? It would probably be easier and faster than having to fill out all this info B-HO wants. I found it interesting how many times the phrase "have the potential for embarrassment" kept coming up in the questions. I guess they are trying to avoid giving anybody anything to find fault with in his selection of cabinet and key personnel choices he will make.

I would love to see if Bush had anything like this for his terms as President?

That question is very common when it comes to working around people in powerful places.


Hell when I was working for a industrail painting contractor, I had to get clearance to work on a nuke plant... that was one of the questions they ask me.   That was almost 10 years ago.

Question 59, dang their hides, I will have to come up with a plan b in my quest for a useless job.
