Barack Obama loves lecturing us about ‘democracy’ and ‘voter suppression’ — except when it’s his own ugly library handing out grand-opening tickets. Then suddenly, citizenship matters.

What is the attribute that stands out most to you when it comes to Barack? Narcissist? Sure. A generally pompous jackwagon? Definitely. Dork? Quite often.

But somewhere on anybody’s list, the word “hypocrite” is sure to show up. Whether it’s top 5 or top 10 for his most obvious traits is the only question.

So, imagine my surprise when I took a gander at the requirements for a contest to win two tickets to the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony this coming June, and discovered that 1) you have to be a U.S. citizen, and 2) you’ll be required to submit “proof” that you are, in fact, the person that entered the contest.

Of all the Jim Crow-loving pile of BS I’ve ever seen, man.

 

Ah yes, nothing screams “democracy” quite like giving out golden tickets to one’s own narcissistic shrine only if you’re a U.S. citizen who can verify your identity—because who else needs voting rights when you can be vetted for a trip to the Obama Presidential Center, that breathtaking blend of library and fallout shelter? Obama, the self-proclaimed champion of democracy and scourge of voter suppression, apparently draws the line at his own grand opening, where “legendary performances” apparently require more security clearance than a NATO summit. It’s like a TED Talk on hypocrisy with a side of irony, served up by the guy who wants to lecture you on fairness while flexing his VIP-only guest list. Welcome to the modern democracy, where citizenship means something—except when it doesn’t.
