Barack Obama Supports National Fingerprint Registry

Democrat President Candidate Barack Obama has come out in support of a bill that could require thousands of Americans to send their fingerprints to the Federal Government. The bill is an attempt to create national licensing and oversight standards for residential mortgage originators. According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, this bill will "require thousands of individuals working even tangentially in the mortgage and real estate industries--and not suspected of anything-- to send their prints to the feds." Apparently, Obama was against invasions of privacy rights before he was for them. (Via Heritage)
