Obama Orders End to ID Checks at White House by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace ·
(2010-07-29) — Admitting there’s no way to ask a visitor for identification without treating him like a criminal, President Obama today lifted the requirement that Secret Service, military and police personnel assigned to the White House be required to establish a visitor’s threat status before granting admittance.
The move comes just a day after a federal judge, at the president’s request, overturned parts of Arizona’s effort to enforce federal immigration law, including requirements on law enforcers to establish immigration status of alleged perpetrators, and on immigrants to carry documents to verify that status.
Mr. Obama said that the process, which critics defend as a way to prevent dangerous people from getting close the president and his staff, is merely another form of discrimination.
“I inherited from my predecessor this terrible system” said President Obama. “Just to get into this place you have to provide a valid social security number, drivers license, submit to a background check, have your car searched, empty your pockets, get wanded…it’s dehumanizing.”
“In other words,” the president said, “before today, if you wanted to get into the White House, you automatically fit the profile, and federal agents would harass you like a criminal. Today I throw open the doors of the White House to people of all nations, and all creeds. Let freedom ring.”
Superb. Maybe someone will ask Gibbs when the WH will stop requiring ID for admittance. Its racist you know!!!
Satire?
God forbid you would have to show your birth certificate to get into the White House!
Whew, Scrappleface. Great joke. Uncomfortably close to exactly how clueless the Administration is. This could actually happen.
Nice!
Good, biting satire! I LOVE Scrap!!
Yep, it’s sad when I have to question whether it’s satire or not. With this administration, who knows anymore.
Probably already done...........
With that bomb-proof car he rides in, there is no way this could be anything BUT satire...he’s a girly man, and he loves himself too much to take chances like that.
You know, I actually started to believe this when I first started to read the article. It sounded just like Obama...
...Good satire, almost too good.
With this regime today’s satire is tomorrow’s headline.

It is sad when it gets difficult to tell the difference between satire and reality!
Of course it’s satire. Obama takes his personal safety FAR more seriously than he takes that of his country and its citizens.
If you just keep in mind his basic principle, “It’s all about me, me, me,” you can’t go far wrong in predicting his position on anything.
To put it bluntly, ‘we are in deep ‘stuff’!
I really do think that we should start entering public events without registration, tickets, etc. for those venues that make a pretense of objecting to the Arizona law.
Wow, considering the stupidity of the Odumbo administration that is regularly celebrated by the communist main stream news, I almost fell for this!
"After all, I didn't show any ID," Obama added.
With all the insane Liberals who have come out of the closet in the last few years, it is a good idea to check the source before giving written material access to your brain.
