There's a big difference. Voting is a constitutional right, meeting Michelle Obama is not. Regulations that throw up roadblocks to voting should be considered carefully. Secret Service practices to limit access to the first lady are reasonable. Next, you'll be arguing that people have to pay to have dinner with Obama at a fundraiser, so poll taxes are reasonable. Get real.

LOl, pretty much. Even liberals know there is nothing wrong asking people to show ID's at the voting booth, but they have to play politics and follow the party line.

Why do they assume the people whos lives are such a mess they cannot provide an id are all on their side? Low self esteem?

She's discriminating against blacks, hispanics and the elderly....according to what the lefties say about them not having photo ID.

Are lefties REALLY that obtuse?

And what about the security of our voting rights? I guess thats not such a big deal huh? Hey, who cares if we make it easier to commit voter fraud.....

I'm sure the Pres and wife had no say in the matter. The Secret Service probably required it. Are we done with this topic now, or is someone going to start a third thread on it?
