"Obama Center takes heat as critics cry foul over ID rules for free entry — while Dems blast voter ID laws
Illinois residents must show valid ID for free Tuesday admission ahead of the center's June 19 opening
The Obama Presidential Center is facing a wave of backlash ahead of its opening, with critics blasting its admission policies and raising broader concerns about the project’s cost and management.
Conservative commentators on social media are taking aim at the center’s requirement that Illinois residents show valid identification to receive free admission on certain days, arguing it contrasts with Democratic opposition to voter ID laws.
"They’re making you show ID… to visit the Obama Library… in Chicago. You can’t make this stuff up!" one social media user wrote.
"The Obama Presidential Library is making people show an ID for proof of Illinois residency to get in for free," another posted. "So residents have to prove who they are for this, but not to vote?""
The Obama Presidential Center faces criticism over requiring ID for free admission, taxpayer costs and executive pay ahead of its upcoming opening.

I thought POC weren't able to get ID because they are too poor and ignorant? Now they can't even see the Obama library? WTF Democrats?
