Why does Obama oppose Voter ID?

SLIDESHOW: If showing ID is racist then...

  the main reason I believe is that it can be a form of poll tax(prohibited under the Twenty-fourth Amendment) if you are required to use a paid form of ID even if its a fee of $16(Texas which expires every 6 years until age 60 then its $6 and doesn't expire)

  Simply put; voter ID hurts the Democratic Party, as it drastically reduces voter fraud, which benefits Democrats, who approve of dead people voting through live proxies; voting multiple times; coming across state lines to vote; and voting in place of the very elderly in nursing homes. The Democratic Party has been infiltrated by liars, communists, socialists, and deadbeats on the public dole.

  Post any links to the evidence for any of your outlandish claims. Only legitimate news sources please (that would exclude FOX fake "news".

  For the same reasons he's been so shifty about the disclosure of his birth certificate and college transcripts. The shining light of transparency would turn Obama and his party to stone.

  How else can the Democrats manipulate numbers and steal elections if voters have an ID? Those who support no ID are obviously thieves with purposes contrary to the Constitution.

  We know why the Democrat establishment is against Voter ID. That is because they cannot win without Voter FRAUD!

  Because he and the rest of the LWNJ's have bought into this disenfranchisement BS. If that be the case let me go back to my old State issued drivers license that does not have to meet the standards of the Real ID Act. Let me open a bank account without picture ID. Let me board an airliner with out having to show picture ID and then stripping near naked at the airport. The excuse that some people can't go and get an ID is a myth. As of this posting they have six months to get a picture ID before November. If you can't get off your ass and go get an ID you shouldn't be voting in the first place.

  Because he ripped of $500 billion from the Social Security fund to pay the illegals and his buddies to satisfy his next election. How can he get as many votes as he did in 2008 with LEGAL votes? Got to have the dead people, felons, and illegals and all the unions paid for to vote this year. Its so simple it stinks.

  Just about everyone has ID of some sort, I am so sick of the left claiming that poor people, elderly people and urbanites just have no way or money to get an ID. You need an ID to get assistance, cash a check or go to the hospital, just about everyone has one. This isn't even about illegals voting, this is about voter fraud plain and simple. The way it works in Texas, you can register as many times as you want without ID and go vote as many times as you want. It is ridiculous and shocking to see how they handle elections here.

  mandatory voting, problem solved, if the number of votes is larger then the amount of voters eligible then someone has stuffed the ballot box.

  ...or at every voting spot have voters with their id's [ just the regular gov. or state issued], matched against the database composed of legit voters. if there is a discrepancy, let them issue a provisional vote to be checked as needed.

  how about issuing some sort of voting license (no test or anything but enrolling to vote) with a card and when you check in to vote you swipe your card saying you have voted.

  So requiring ID is a rights violation, but forcing people out of their homes to go vote isn't?

  Never said you said that. You suggested mandatory voting, which seems more complicated and somewhat of a rights violation.

  The interesting thing about the US constitution is that our bill of rights does not define what we can do. It defines what the government cannot do.
  
  Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
  
  Amendment 2: ...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
  
  and so on.
  
  When you get to amendment 9, it basically says, just because a right isn't listed does not mean it doesn't exist.
  
  In other words, my rights are limited by the Constitution, government's is. Which, actually is why it is detested by our current President.

  I'm optimistic that there will be another greatest generation. The flower child/baby boomers running things will be dead and buried in a matter of decades.
  
  Eventually the government will fill itself with sane people, or it will go bankrupt. A bankrupt bureaucracy cannot enforce its will.

  Our gov is already bankrupt. has been for awhile now. they are functioning only on the belief that they arent. if the public en masse woke up to the egregious acts of treason the gov has committed recently there would be a massive outcry resulting in civil war.
