Voting ID cards in Kenya??.........all on YOU??$$$

A Conservative journalist wrote the following article.  I Googled leftwing responses and link them below.  Please read this first:

White House Pays $53 Million for Voter ID in Kenya While Opposing Same in US

Ever since Obama stole the 2008 election with rampant voter fraud, Republicans have been trying to pass laws that require a photo ID in order to vote.  President Obama, and his puppet, Attorney General Eric Holder have fought against every one of those voter ID laws.  They claim that they discriminate against poor black voters that are not able to obtain a valid identification card, even though they are able to obtain enough ID to get welfare and food stamps.

In August 2012, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney supported Obama’s stance against voter ID when he said:

"And on the voter ID case, I can tell you that, as you know, this administration believes it should be easier for eligible citizens to vote - to register and vote. We should not be imposing unnecessary obstacles or barriers to voter participation."

In a typical case of Obama hypocrisy, we learn that the US government gave the Kenyan government $53 million to help fund a program called ‘My ID My Life.’  The program assists the younger generation to obtain National identification cards.  Kenyan law requires that all citizens have the national ID cards before they are allowed to register to vote.  Supposedly, the program helped to get over 500,000 people registered to vote prior the Kenyan elections held in March of this year.

So how does Obama and his cronies justify paying millions of dollars, that we don’t have, to help Kenyans get ID cards that are necessary for voter registration while at the same time legally challenging similar programs and laws here in the US?

Journalist and Senior Fellow with the American Civil Rights Union, Robert Knight is asking the same question when he told OneNewsNow:

 

"The irony is that the president is using taxpayer dollars to promote something in Africa that he is actively suppressing in the United States, and calling people names who are promoting that very thing."

"This is an administration, you understand, whose Justice Department struck down voter ID laws in South Carolina and Texas just before the 2012 elections and has said over and over that states that are trying to require photo ID are motivated solely by political bias."

Obama will not allow voter ID in the US because he and many of his fellow democrats rely on voter fraud in order to win their elections.  Voter IDs may have changed the entire outcome in the 2010 and 2012 elections and that scares Obama.  But when it comes to his birthplace, Kenya, it’s an entirely different story.  Not only does Obama endorse their National ID card being required to register to vote, but he spends OUR money to make it happen.

Time and again Barack Obama has demonstrated that he does not want to live under the same rules that he imposes on others.  This is typical for a dictator of any nation.  He feels that he is above the law and that allows him to so whatever he wants to whomever he wants without consequence to himself.   (end of article)

The following link is whitehouse.gov and has a pretty clear outline on what happened in Kenya.

I find no leftwing sites mentioning that we've spent almost $100 MILLION DOLLARS on helping Africans vote (if the money, in fact, actually got to where we supposedly wanted it to go and not some African's Swiss bank account?), which I believe is as big a point as "if they don't want US having voting ID, why are WE supporting it elsewhere?"   Tell me, liberal Americans...do you believe starving Americans come first or voting Africans?   Just for your consideration...what are your thoughts?

You see, that part of the equation isn't much mentioned in the democraticunderground link (and the irony of the huge amount of money, isn't, either) because it's easier to slam Republicans and not address THE POINTS.

 Tell me, GeeeeZ readers:  What are your thoughts?  

By the way;  Here's a quote from the White House site that cracked me up...THIS from a White House still dumping important news either late on Friday nights, or before a holiday weekend...and whose IRS was messing with Conservatives, and who thinks NSA leakers are nothing more important than fodder for "a TV movie," as Obama suggested.  Here's the quote:

Partnering to Promote Open Government and Transparency
The United States is committed to promoting open and accountable governance in Africa and around the world.  As a founding member of the Open Government Partnership, we are working to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies.  South Africa was a founding member of the Open Government Partnership when it was launched in 2011.  Since then, four more African nations –Tanzania, Ghana, Liberia, and Kenya – have joined, and four more — Cape Verde, Malawi, Senegal, and Sierra Leone – have committed to join by the end of 2014.

Oh, COME ONnnnnn.
