Barack Obama Co-Sponsored a Bill to Create a National Fingerprint Registry

I first wrote about the Democrats sneaking a national fingerprint registry into the housing bail out bill here. What I didn’t realize at that time was that Barack Obama was actually a co-sponsor of this bill.

Barack Obama has been a vocal critic of the Bush administration and of the human rights violations he believe the president has committed. This coupled with his belief that the president is violating people’s privacy by listening to their phone conversations and trampling the constitution in general, makes me wonder how Barack Obama could possibly agree with a national fingerprint registry. Never mind co-sponsor it.

Requiring innocent Americans to send in their fingerprints to the feds while doing nothing wrong is perfectly fine to Obama, but listening to the international incoming calls from suspected terrorists is not okay. That is what Barack Obama is telling us.

That is the type of convoluted, backwards thinking logic that we will be dealing with after Barack Obama becomes president. It is almost as if he makes up his positions as he goes and doesn’t even see the big picture even when it contradicts what he supposedly believes in.
