Obama takes big risk on driver's license issue

[Midnight Mike]

Sorry for posting this, but, one of my pet peeves is taking any action that benefits illegal immgration & awarding a the privilege of a drivers license to illegal aliens, frankly speaking, pisses me off.

Senator Chris Dodd said it best during one of the past debates:

(01-28) 04:00 PST Washington -- Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

It's a huge issue for Latinos, who want them. It's also a huge issue for the general electorate, which most vehemently does not. Obama's stand could come back to haunt him not only in a general election, but with other voters in California, where driver's licenses for illegal immigrants helped undo former Gov. Gray Davis.

I like Obama enough, but this is a problem for me as well.

Let me guess though - McCain is going to be supportive of driver's licenses for illegals as well.
