Barack Obama often speaks passionately about the importance of ‘democracy’ and the dangers of ‘voter suppression.’ However, when it comes to distributing tickets for his own library’s grand-opening event, the emphasis shifts dramatically to the importance of citizenship.
When reflecting on Barack Obama’s characteristics, a few descriptors come to mind. Some might label him a narcissist, while others might describe him as somewhat pompous or even a bit of a dork at times.
However, one trait that many would agree on is the label of “hypocrite.” Whether it ranks in his top five or top ten most defining traits is up for debate, but it certainly makes the list.
So, it was quite eye-opening to discover the conditions for winning tickets to the Obama Presidential Center’s Grand Opening Ceremony this June: participants must be U.S. citizens, and they need to provide proof that they are indeed the person entering the contest.
This requirement seems reminiscent of policies some critics might liken to outdated restrictions, raising eyebrows given the context.
Of all the Jim Crow-loving pile of BS I’ve ever seen, man.
First of all, why anyone would consider it a “prize” to get dragged into a library with all the charm of a nuclear fallout shelter is beyond me. Oh sure, they sell it as only the self-loving Obamas can, calling the grand opening a “historic moment” at which you’ll be able to “feel the thrill of legendary performances by global icons and powerful remarks from today’s most prominent voices and leaders.”
But I’d rather win the 50/50 at the local Chicago bowling alley than be the grand prize recipient here.

Putting that aside, the Official Rules state that the promotion is open “only to individual United States citizens and lawful permanent U.S. residents who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and over the age of 18.”
Wait, so you need to be legal to enter this contest? And you might need an accurate date on the ol’ birth certificate? That’s racist. Well, it’s xenophobic, for sure. And why is he trying to keep women from entering the contest? (Looks like Mika Brzezinski won’t be winning tickets to the grand opening.)
Here’s the thing: let’s say you actually win this abortion of a contest. Guess what comes next? Perusing the list of rules brings us to section 6—”Identity of Entrant.”
Analyzing that section, we learn that the winner must prove they are the same person associated with the email address used to enter the contest. And if there is any question on the matter, that person will be required to provide officials “with proof” that they are “the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning entry.”
Well, how do you suppose they’ll do that? I’m guessing they’ll have to identify themselves in some manner, which, as we all know, according to Democrats, is not something minorities or women are capable of doing.
Just ask Barack, who adamantly opposes the SAVE America Act, a key election-integrity measure that requires proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. You know, the same things that are required for this little contest.
“Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans,” he said recently, before urging opposition to securing our elections.
Like we said. Hypocrite.
We all know what he and his party’s opposition to clean elections exclusively for the American people is about, but as a reminder, here’s Republican Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) when confronted on this situation by Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany.
“Why do we have stricter standards for the Obama library than for voting?” McEnany asked, the very definition of a rhetorical question.
“Well, because Democrats would like to allow non-citizens to vote in American elections,” Gill replied. “That’s a core part of their long-term political strategy.”

It’s funny how Obama wants illegals flooding American cities and overrunning American streets, but he doesn’t want them anywhere near his library.
Editor’s Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
