John Nolte drops another truth bomb, exposing the irony of Barack Obama’s gleaming presidential library slapping a $30 entry fee on visitors—complete with an ID requirement for locals to snag a measly discount. It’s peak Obama narcissism: the man who lectured America on humility and accessibility now gatekeeps his vast legacy behind a paywall and a government-issued photo ID. Remember when Democrats screamed bloody murder about voter ID laws being racist and suppressive? Here, it’s fine for plebs to flash their papers just to save a few bucks on Obama’s ego monument. Nolte’s piece at Breitbart nails it—Barry’s high opinion of himself doesn’t come cheap, and neither does entry to his shrine of selfies and scandals.

But let’s zoom out for the 2A angle, because this reeks of the same elitist hypocrisy that fuels gun-grabbers. Obama’s library isn’t just a tourist trap; it’s a taxpayer-funded fortress (over $500 million in public dough, folks) symbolizing the administrative state he expanded. That ID check? A microcosm of the surveillance society Team Obama championed—think ATF stings, no-fly list encroachments on rights, and endless common-sense registries that always target law-abiding gun owners. While locals pony up proof of residency to worship at the altar of Hope & Change 2.0, armed security (likely with taxpayer AR-15s) patrols the perimeter. It’s a reminder: the ruling class demands your papers while exempting themselves, just like they push universal background checks on us but jet around with Secret Service firepower.

For the 2A community, this is red meat—proof that progressive strongholds like Chicago (crime capital, need I remind you) enforce ID mandates when it suits their wallets, not equity. It underscores why we fight: elites build moats around their privileges, then lecture us on sacrifice. Next time a blue-check demands your carry permit or mocks concealed carry reciprocity, hit ’em with Obama’s library fee. Paywall for peasants, free ride for the anointed. Stand firm, Second Amendment warriors—our rights aren’t behind a $30 velvet rope.
