Before construction of President Obama’s future library can commence, contractors must first show they will hire minorities to work on the construction teams.
“The Obama Foundation is asking the four construction teams vying to build the presidential center to set high standards for local and minority hiring,” reports dnainfo. “The foundation announced four finalists Thursday morning and also the standards for hiring the foundation is setting for each.”
To win the honor of building the president’s library, the firms must present a full-scale plan to award half of its subcontracts to “diverse suppliers.” The new standards expand beyond just women and minority-owned companies to veteran, disabled, and LGBTQ-owned. At least 35% of contracts must go to minority-owned firms regardless of whether or not they provide the best service or do the best job.
In other words, you don’t even have know how to spell LIBARY.
Maybe LIEBARRY.
Always the divider. I’m so glad that asshole is out of power.
I hope tons of homeless move into his library. And shit and piss everywhere. Them or the DNC.
Whatever you do, Hussein Obama, DON’T choose a contractor based on merit. Get the Racist Al Sharpton to help you completely disregard merit and simply pluck a thug off the street that happens to share your skin color.
Here’s hoping the ribbon cutting alone is enough to topple the shoddy building. Lord knows the inspectors will be bribed in advance anyway.
He also said 65% of professional basketball players should be white, right?
Up his A** !
You show me what law says that that pig is
entitled to a library !
Up his A** !
Irony Curtain.
I hadn’t even considered the ribbon cuttIng. That could turn into a bloody fight. They bring scissors, we bring a gun.
I though you were gonna say, “They bring scissors, we bring staple guns.”
Ok, then. Let the money laundering begin.
There was a perfect poem for this fiasco. Something about a crooked man building a crooked house. I’ll have to find it.
1842 English Nursery Rhyme:
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
Is Saudi Arabian a registered minority?….He’ll bow to their contract. Maybe “The Kenyan Pipe fitters Union” will get some work. I hear they moved their headquarters to Hawaii, cuz we all know that a Kenyan lays good pipe just backwards…
Straw Library for a straw man.
Why not just go all the way? All LGBTQ contractors?
…regardless of whether or not they provide the best service or do the best job. It won’t come in ahead of schedule and under budget!
I hope he uses the same criteria on his heart surgeon.
“At least 35% of contracts must go to minority-owned firms regardless of whether or not they provide the best service or do the best job.”
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the this remark.
Perhaps all entry doors should have painted on them, “Hard hat area,” you know, just in case.
If the construction company promised, if awarded the contract, to complete the work to the same standard as the Obama presidency.
Would Barry immediately throw them out of the room?
Or just get an oh-crap look on his face, and keep quiet about the implication?
Obama is just trying to correct the minority unemployment rate he did nothing about while president.
I think it should be 100% minority imagine what a crap hole it will be.
“Obama is just trying to correct the minority unemployment rate he did nothing about while president.”
Nah, it’s all about percentages for him. That’s why he put all those white males out of work. Just trying to get the ratio right.
That should keep OSHA inspectors busy for a few years. I’d say competent AA tradesmen (or women) in the building trades are pretty scant. Most spend their time studying sociology and black studies. It will be interesting to watch. Imagine a real 21st century Tower of Babel. Hey Tyree the rough opening was ‘sposed to be 82 inches by 4o inches, not 79″ X 39″. Rip it down! Sure Boss, no problem.
Aren’t all contractors “minority-owned” in Kenya?
IOW, if skin color is his sole selection criteria, why not just build it where the darkies be at?
Who but a third world minority have the skills to build a mud and straw prezzydential liebarry? Makes sense.
“Obama is just trying to correct the minority unemployment rate he did nothing about while president.”
Hmm. All I see is a racist doing his racist thing.
OK, fine. So don’t build it then.
Diverse really means that they’ll hire da worse possible, lowest denominator contractors. I hate quotas and set asides based on political correctness. Expect a second rate, substandard job that will probably have to be rebuilt by competent contractors after da worse contractors screw the job up. But what else would you expect from the king of the grifters?
Racial bean-counting until the end.
Will white people be charged more for entering like they do at the Taj Mahal?
Till opening day it will be a giant comedy club. After, just embarrassing.
If you are going to build a slum you will need the “Hood Rat Construction Company ” to construct the whorehouse for the race pimp.
What white person in his right mind would go into Chicago’s South side to work every day?? Can’t wait to hear the death count among the construction workers.
barry will hire the Leroy and Rufus destruction company with materials supplied by Acme and Ajax substandard supply companies. And any additional help will be provided by the LBGTQ communities especially the interior decorating, it will be fabulous.
In Chicago, there will be no problem mining the dregs of illegals, thugs, law breakers, crooked politicians, all of whom represent the diversity needed to meet the crooked man’s criteria to build a straw library.
Dammit. I left out DUNG. Mud, straw and dung, the latter of which to come fr obama himself, since it don’t stink. Throw up some Greek columns am deathly you got yourself a liebarry
Okey dokey then. So the Ocommie lie Barry has to be snapped together by a person of 35% minority. A well known manufacturer has a snap together outdoor shed thingy that should only take Barry’s beard about 2 days to snap all 6 pieces together. Righty righty right on.
I think lesbian farmers should build his library.
I’ve seen this % thing before and what goes down is the contractors simply hire broom and clean up guys that don’t do anything but stand around. It’s all in the bid, everybody walks away kind of happy.
The Fudge Packers Union fully endorses this endeavour.
He’s a liar and fool. Barry knows Soros will find the best contractors available. It’s about the puppet master not the puppet.
He been be recruiting at the bath houses and they ain’t taking his job offers. It might mean work.
