For example, Barack Obama works in an ice cream shop and gives ice cream to his friends without paying for it:

Embezzlement is defined in most states as theft/larceny of assets (money or property) by a person in a position of trust or responsibility over those assets. Embezzlement typically occurs in the employment and corporate settings. - Find Law

Ed Henry, on CNN with Candy Crowley:

“CROWLEY: It is. And despite the fact that you’ve covered both the stories for us, you’ve had time for a little sleuthing into the background of—in the high school background, in particular, talking to some of the people who knew President Barack Obama when he was there. What did you find out? HENRY: Well, I talked to a couple of his classmates from the class of ‘79. He was on the basketball team that won the state championship. They knew him as Barry back then. And a couple of funny things, one the basketball court, they say he was a slasher, and one of his colleagues, it was the point guard, told me that that sort of slashing, take no prisoners attitude he thinks is carrying over into the presidency because this is why Barack Obama is now not afraid to make tough decisions. He also said he’s a real trash talker on the court, even today, because some of friends still get together to play with him. The funny thing was: his high school classmates were telling that me that a young Barry Obama used to scoop ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. They said one the side, he used to slip them some free ice cream and frozen yogurt. I sort of have coaxed it out of them because they didn’t want to acknowledge it first. And I said, look, the statute of limitations is past, it’s been 30 years now. They laughed and said, “OK, he gave us free ice cream.”

So, while working at one of the precious few jobs Obama has ever had, he stole from his employer. And CNN’s reporter, Ed Henry thought he was sharing a cute Obama story.

Liberals can argue that pilfering a little ice cream from a big, mean corporation is not Madoff level larceny. But, what does it say about the character of the man who is now president of the United States?

The moribund mainstream media doesn’t find anything wrong with a little embezzling as long as it’s their beloved Obama doing the stealing. Ask a small business owner to appreciate the quaint humor of this beguiling little story from Obama’s youth.

Henry’s glaring ignorance about security clearances is an excellent illustration of why nobody trusts the debauched media any more:

“I think he, clearly, passed the FBI background check. So, there’s no worry about the future president stealing or giving out free ice cream, Candy.”

Ed, you dolt, there is NO background check for POTUS. Shouldn’t these geniuses at the mainstream press know something about how we elect presidents?

Numerous government positions require some level of security screening, as do sensitive jobs in the private sector involving certain types of government contracts. The job of President of the United States, regrettably, does not require any level of security clearance.

An Army private who may come into contact with classified documents must be cleared. The Commander in Chief is exempt from any such scrutiny.

The president also decides who within his administration should be cleared and at what level.

In 1995, Bill Clinton issued Executive Order 12958-Classified National Security Information, as Amended. To no one’s astonishment, Clinton amended the previous order to facilitate the declassification of information. With emblematic liberal disregard for threats to the nation’s security, Clinton’s order required that classifiers would have to “justify” the classification of any information. Employees would be “encouraged” to challenge “improper” classification.

In a press release dated April 17, 1995, Clinton said: “We will no longer tolerate the excesses of the current system. For example, we will resolve doubtful calls about classification in favor of keeping the information unclassified.”

Setting aside for the moment, the hilarity of Bill Clinton condemning excesses, the message was fairly unambiguous. Radical left wing groups cheered Clinton’s move as an unmistakable cue that the country’s security was likely to be compromised.

In 2003, President Bush amended 12958 by Executive Order 13292 . The bulk of Clinton’s order remained intact. Bush did, however, remove the burden on government employees who sought classification of foreign information. Bush also expanded the authority of the vice president in making decisions about classification of sensitive information. Plainly, Bush, like the rest of us, never foresaw a Vice President Joe Biden.

Nor did anyone presage that the American people would install a national security risk in the White House. Lamentably, the President of the United States has the authority to classify information or delegate classification authority.

The populous seems to believe that to become president, a candidate surely has been screened and been granted some kind of security clearance. If that were true, we never would have had the Clintons. The first step in applying for a national security clearance is the SF86-Questionnaire for National Security Positions.

Barack Obama could not be trusted with someone else’s ice cream.

We have always been able to boast that in America, anyone can grow up to be president. Ostensibly, that includes America hating radicals who pose a grave threat to our national security.
