First Lady Requires Photo ID for Her Book Signings; Voter ID Law-hating Media Fail to Note Obama
NewsBusters ^ | June 6, 2012 | John Bates

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.

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.

And you know that the first lazy pig is not even signing her own books. Who brought this garbage into our lives? I mean, in reality this whole barak hussein presidency should be something we watched on TV as a sitcom.

Hey barak hussein, go stuff your mouth with more food and ice-cream you loser.

Many unions also have a photo ID requirement to attend their festivities.

I am so sick of this crap! I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Hope I live long enough for sanity to return.

Rosie O’Donnell, confirmed anti-gun zealot, applied for a gun permit for her bodyguard back in 1999, thus establishing a standard for liberal hypocrisy that has stood for 13 years. Congratulations, Michelle Obama, the new champion.

SSN and photo ID! And it will be recorded. No doubt there will be overt and covert photos taken.

Why do the customers need to leave the books? So that they won’t know that an autopen (or ghost signature-writer) is inking them?

I’ll disenfranchise myself from these events’ thanks very much.

I also thought it was against the law to require a SSN for ID. (I must have been mistaken.)

This kind of disenfranchisement falls particularly hard on the poor, women, and minorities. Disgraceful! Eric Holder, Call your office!!!

SOOOOO—to get a ‘signed book’, you must go on June 8th to buy the book, present suitable acceptable ID to the Secret Service & then come back AGAIN on June 12th to get it signed?

Tell me again about those precious carbon footprints this administration is always chirping about!!!!

Use twice the gas to go to the store 2 times???

BARF!!!!
