First Lady Requires Photo ID for Her Book Signings; Voter ID Law-hating Media Fail to Note Obama Hypocrisy
The Obama administration has done its best to oppose states from instituting new, stricter voter ID laws, complaining that many minority voters lack photo identification. But those same folks it wants voting in November are apparently not welcome anywhere near the First Lady's book signings. Something tells me that the same media outlets comparing voter ID laws to the Jim Crow Laws, however, won't see any hint of hypocrisy here, if they even report the story at all.
As stated on the blog Obama Foodorama:
On Friday, June 8th, those wishing to attend the event must purchase a copy of the First Lady's book at the location and leave it at the store, according to the employee. At the same time, customers must also submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driver's license, passport) to a Secret Service agent, and they will be issued a wristband to the First Lady's event on June 12.( Emphasis added)The liberal media, particularly Obama-boosting cable network MSNBC has done its best to attack voter ID laws as discriminatory at best and racist at worst.
Appearing on MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner in March, former DNC Communications Director Karen Finney managed to connect the Trayvon Martin shooting to Voter ID laws.
In December MSNBC gave a platform to former NAACP chairman Julian Bond, who charged of voter ID laws that "They are racist in intent and aimed at vulnerable people in our population."
President Obama and Attorney General Holder have spoken actively against requiring ID to be presented at polling places. They've maintained this stance despite the fact that a recent Fox News poll reveals a full 70 percent of Americans believe voter ID laws are necessary to stop voter fraud. The poll shows that 52 percent of Democrats agree, as do 68 percent of women and 58 percent of Non-whites, both voting blocs that Democrats see as crucial to their electoral success.
Why should any one have to buy her book and then leave it at the store just to see mo? That doesn't make sense.
I see no problem with showing my legal photo ID in order to vote. I am LEGALLY registered to vote--unlike those registered under the auspices of the former community organizer.
Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. So you admit you only care about this rule because it's Obama? Not because of the actual rule?
Quoting candlegal:We have never had another president that was a rock star.
Quoting trippyhippy:I guess I shouldn't bother looking for a post where you bitched about this with any other President or President's wife. We know, it's only wrong if the last name is Obama.
You really don't know what that means?

I understand the SS being there....with her....always. It's been that way for many years. But what's with needing to show ID and SS# for a book signing?
I have an in-law in politics. He's an pompous ass. He did the voting scam, sending in dead peoples votes. So yea, I can understand wanting ID's at voting.
As the answer to my question, no. It's just a go to stupid responce you like to use. But it does not answer the question that I put to you. But then you knew that when you replied.

Interesting. A good friend of mine was at the book signing. The photo ID was for security reasons. No social security number was asked for. They where issued wrist bands. She met the First Lady, who signed her book. It was a great experience, considering who was signing and the necessary security precautions.

Can you expound on that? If someone shows them a drivers license, what security is that? Just that they were legal to drive to the book store, nothing more. I wonder what would happen if the only ID someone had on them was their LCC. ha
