Obama Opposes SAVE Act but Imposes ID for Event Entry
“Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans.”
Former President Barack Obama is warning that requiring proof of citizenship to vote would “disenfranchise millions,” but eligibility for tickets to his presidential center’s grand opening is limited to U.S. citizens and lawful residents and requires identity verification to claim the prize.
Obama weighed in this week against the Republican-backed SAVE Act, which would require documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. He framed the proposal as a direct threat to voter access and urged Americans to oppose it, calling it unnecessary and harmful to participation.
“Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans.”
Other Democrats echoed that argument, saying the measure would impose documentation burdens that many Americans do not readily have access to, including passports, birth certificates, or other records used to verify citizenship, particularly among lower-income and older populations.
At the same time, the sweepstakes tied to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center lays out firm eligibility requirements. The official terms limit entry to “United States citizens and lawful permanent U.S. residents,” excluding anyone who does not meet those criteria.
Winners are also required to provide identifying documentation, including taxpayer identification information, and must clear security screenings and verification protocols before attending the event, consistent with standard procedures for high-profile public gatherings.
Those conditions are not incidental. Access depends on legal status and the ability to confirm identity through official records, with eligibility rules clearly defined in advance of the event.
Congress is still debating the SAVE Act, with Republicans describing it as a safeguard to ensure only eligible citizens vote, while Democrats argue it risks excluding lawful voters who lack ready access to documentation.
That same type of documentation requirement is treated very differently depending on the setting.

Obama is the greatest traitor to this nation since its founding, witness the “radical transformation” statement after his “election” (which I now suspect was heavily immersed in fraud).
Contrary to his statement, without enacting the SAVE act, it is I (and you) who are disenfranchised by bogus votes.
If you want to know what side of an issue to be on, listen to Barry’s position and then take your position at 180 degrees opposite. You won’t often go wrong.
One of the worst presidents in history
Reversed the progress in improving race relations
Russian reset – which encouraged the invasion of ukraine.
Faux JCPOA and funding terrorists – ie the mullahs. The JcpoA was never going to stop irans nuclear program. It was always a farce.
Obamacare
Screwed up the entire middle east – Libya, Egyptian Spring, Benghazi. ISIS
Fast and Furious Gun Running
Lead from Behind
Sheesh. Obamacare. Thanks to the UNaffordable Care Act, my insurance premium for me is $75payday (or, ($150mo.). Adding my wife makes it $1200payday ($2400mo.), and adding our adopted daughter (6-years old), brings it to $1900payday! ($3800mo.!).
Who the heck can afford that???? I’ve got heart issues (19 different medications for heart, BP, and pain), my wife is down to 100 lbs. and just got diagnosed as a type-2 diabetic, and my daughter has development issues we’re just sorting out (her birth mother was on drugs when she was born). But I make too much money ($74,500) for them to qualify for Obamacare.
“my wife is down to 100 lbs. and just got diagnosed as a type-2 diabetic”
Wow. That’s a combination that you rarely see in the wild.
Hypocrisy? He doesn’t care.
He has his tens if not hundreds of millions and his 4 mansions.
And an abomination of a “presidential library” where most of his presidential documents are kept under lock and key and the public isn’t allowed to read or even seem them.
Probably had all of his sealed college records transferred there for
“storage.”
And his “birth certificate”.
Barky is a trained Culture Marxist.
Wonder if any of his Culture Marxism Seminaries grades or papers will be in his Concrete Tower Library?
In the wake of this successful operation to rescue multiple, downed U.S. air crew, in enemy/hostile territory, now would be an especially good time for vile, narcissist-incompetent-dunce, Obama, to keep his egotistical and divisive mouth shut.
Because, what happened, here, in this rescue operation — the unhesitating use of and commitment of overwhelming American military force, by a U.S. president, to rescue Americans in danger — is precisely what Obama, and his equally incompetent Secretary of State, crone Clinton, should have done without hesitation, in response to the Benghazi attack. Instead, these reprobates let Americans under terrorist attack die, and brazenly falsely blamed a YouTube video that no one on planet Earth had watched (least of all Muslim terrorists in Libya), in order to avoid damage to Obama’s re-election prospects.
I suppose the Dhimmi-crats don’t remember the Benghazi attack, having consigned it to the memory hole. This shameful fiasco, alone, should have cost Obama, the 2012 presidential election.
what a fool–still doesn’t realize he’s “touchable”–let him run his mouth / game–karma has a long memory indeed
And who now thinks it’s POSSIBLE that Bronco was elected… not by citizens voting but by ballots counted by his fellow leftists?
Of course Dems are opposed to secure elections; it’s entirely possible that their Marxist party would be consigned to the dustbin of politics were our election safe, verified and secure.
In 2008 a ham sandwich with a D would have won the presidency. W had not only bungled the war on terrah but allowed Clinton’s and Barney Frank’s housing giveaways to blow up on his watch. Recession for election year, anyone?
Just saying. Barky didn’t have to cheat. And in a strange way I’m grateful for his saving us from the otherwise inevitable Madame President Hillary.
The sanctity of King Hussein’s person is much, much more important than the integrity of our elections. That much is clear.
I’m confused as to whether or not this is fair.
On the one hand, you have the right to vote.
On the other, you have the right not to be forced to attend Obama’s grand opening.
Communist POS imported from Kenya.
Obama is actually not the worst POTUS in history. The unelected coalition that ran his and the Biden PPOTUS (puppet) term are.
He is an empty figurehead that does a good job of playing full figurehead. Any more than that gives him too much credit. There’s a reason he’s done nothing meaningful since except what he does best…show up in a few spots here and there in a figurehead role.
Obama is the worst, by a long shot. The destruction that he wrought, with Obamacare, the Iran footsie “deal,” his perpetual racial arson, his nauseating Islamophilia and his dirty tricks sabotage/subversion against candidate/President Trump, set the stage for the “Weekend at Sleepy/Corrupt Joe’s” movie sequel.
Obama destroyed American social mores and culture. .
Biden destroyed American infrastructure and security.
Not clear there’s any way to compare.
People are basically unaware that Obama is a C- student that received As all his life because he was born in Kenya…he wasn’t, of course, but he told everyone he was, didn’t he? He doesn’t hate America nearly as much as he hates his white mother and grandparents.
Low level street hustler and homo Larry Sinclair was disparaged and ignored until he claimed he could exactly describe Obama’s unusual privates. Then he was thrown in jail until the election was over.
I recall that the DNC convention was mocked for REQUIRING positive picture ID for admittance. Did they disenfranchise black Dems this way?
Obama bin Biden was the worst thing this country experienced since Carter.
Once a turd, always a turd.
The left has done that for years. Just like walls don’t work from behind walls. They have no moral bearing its just what pays the most at the time.
Ahhh. The millions and millions of disenfranchised black voters wouldn’t be able to attend Obama’s event and he’s good with that. He should be sealed up in that tomb of a presidential library he’s building. Good riddance.
NO ONE has the right to vote.
‘Voting Rights’ refers to the votes of eligible voters not being impeded by the Democrats (who did everything they could to keep blacks, browns, asians, and reds from voting…all while counting them for representation)
Exercising the franchise is a PRIVILEGE, a RESPONSIBILITY.
It is not something given lightly.
If you are a man, in exchange for the privilege of voting, you must agree that the government owns you from 18-35. During that time, if the government wishes, you can be drafted and sent to war.
Immigrants give up their homelands in exchange for the privilege.
Native born women, however, give up nothing.
hypocrisy is not a shock
its just a way for us to avoid doing anything about their communist actions by claiming
we didnt know~~~ we are shocked
Sorta reminds of my Dad when I was a kid: “Do as I say, not as I do!” The Dem leaders treat their minions as children, which they are, intellectually.
I wonder if he is going to require photo ID to enter his East German Guard Tower…err…Presidential Center.
The East German Guard Towers were much shorter.
Google “Nazi Flack Tower” to see picture of the Obama Tower Prototypes.
