If background checks are important for gun ownership why aren't they for the presidency?

Politicians are exempted from background checks, especially if that politician is Barack H. Obama. Interesting, isn't it

Actually, background checks are very important for the Presidency. Persuading every nutjob with a grudge to believe the results of the background checks, however, is not very important at all.

Well, people seem to take the background check into their hands. Remember all of the demanding of Obama's birth certificate? Then when he released it, it wasn't good enough, they needed the long form certificate? If you're that upset about it, write to your local reps. If there was truly anything to find, the opponent would find it, trust me. Also, the president is not a gun.

Background checks aren't necessary for the presidency because, in practice, presidential candidates have their backgrounds examined far more thoroughly than in a background check anyway.

it truly is a liberal lie that we do no longer have close to everyday history tests. i have offered quite a few (inclusive of 2 on-line) and had a history examine each and every time. it truly is a ruse - with a view to placed yet another mechanism in position for confiscation; it is the perfect target of the "gun administration" crowd.

Who is going to have the last laugh? We are! When all the books come out, interviews, the Internet. Let them make fools of themselves. I didn't vote for the biggest fraud who pulled off the biggest scam on the American people.

apparently you failed to stay awake when the details of our government workings were covered in History class...was the 5th grade a very trying 3 years for you pumpkin?

All employers are required to include criminal background check's. Including the President.

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!!

Right, no one checks on politicians.

They are. Of course criminals like bush slip through every now and then.
