Obama should feed this idea to a porcupine and then shove it up his ass sideways.
Money has already done its damage by the time we go to the polls. The last thing we need is for apathetic disinterested ill-informed people who don't really give a shit to vote. The only thing that will change is how the money is spent to peddle influence.
Political ads are bad enough as it is. Can you imagine the shit that would be foisted on us if the intent was to attract the viewers that keep the Kardashians and Tori Spelling on TV? There's a Brawndo "it's got electrolytes" joke in here somewhere.
The cost would be substantial and enforcement would be ridiculous. I have to imagine fines would be assessed for not voting. Would we throw people in jail if they refused to pay the fine?
