Nothing wrong with showing ID's to Vote, keeps out the Illegals:

"In his State of the Union address last week, Obama said he will create a commission to recommend ways to help improve the voting experience in response to widespread complaints about long waits, requirements to show photo ID before voting and shortened periods for early voting."

The Obama administration has always done its best to oppose states from instituting new, stricter voter ID laws, complaining that many minority voters lack photo identification. But those same folks he wants voting were apparently not welcome anywhere near the First Lady's book signings. Last year on 06-08-12 those wishing to attend the event had to purchase a copy of the First Lady's book at the location and leave it at the store. At the same time, customers must also submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driver's license, passport) to a Secret Service agent, and then they were issued a wristband to meet the First Lady. Why does the news media see and report the obvious hypocrisy of this POTUS. This POTUS and his entire Administration has never taken responsibility for anything nor have they ever compromised only wanting to shift blame with lies and smoking mirrors to just divide and conquer.
