Obama wouldn't be able to pass a security clearance

On Fox & Friends they just had on national security expert Daniel Pipes and he confirmed what I had long suspected- that Barack Obama, if he was just an ordinary citizen, wouldn't be able to get a security clearance. His associations with guys like Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidy would be viewed as just too suspect. So if he can't get a clearance, why would we elect him as our president?
