Admits Barack Obama
The president was a guest on Al Sharpton's radio show Tuesday -- yes, "the Rev" has a radio program but hardly anyone listens because it's even more dreary and predictable than the awful dreck he serves up on MSNBC.
In a shocking turn of events for those of us occasionally required to listen to Sharpton, his program on Tuesday with Obama calling in made for delightful radio when the subject turned to voter ID laws (audio) --
SHARPTON: What do you say to people that have become discouraged because of voter ID laws and other laws that your Justice Department has challenged but has not in every state succeeded in straightening out? What do you say to those voters in those states?
OBAMA: Well, we're going to keep on challenging many of these laws. But keep in mind that most of these laws are not preventing the overwhelming majority of folks who don't vote from voting.
SHARPTON: Mmm hmm (sounding like he agrees).
OBAMA: Most people do have an ID. Most people do have a driver's license. Most people can get to the polls. It may not be as convenient and maybe a little more difficult, it may be a few people who are impeded.

So what is all the whining about requiring a photo id to vote, the president even says only a few people will be impeded.
