Daily Caller: Former President Barack Obama is facing backlash from Chicago community organizers over his plan to build a sprawling 20-acre community center in the heart of the city featuring a sledding hill, recording studio and garden.
The Barack Obama Presidential Center, set to open in 2021, is being touted as a monument to the ideals of democracy, civic engagement, art and culture, but many Chicago residents are concerned about appropriating such a large swath of public land for the massive compound.
“It wouldn’t be Chicago if we didn’t have complaints about everything. . . . People are definitely excited about the library, without a doubt, but they are concerned about ‘how does it impact me?’” Ayoka Mota Samuels, director for a local youth center, toldThe Washington Post. “Chicagoans are like that about everything. . . . It means that we care about what’s going to happen in our neighborhood.”
Mota has heard grumblings from area residents who are worried the development will bring traffic and want to ensure the project will be staffed by people who live in the neighborhood.
Just 20 acres? That’s an insult to both obama and chicago! It should be hundreds of glorious acres.
Barky just wants to name shit after himself.
Will the “library” still be shaped like a giant butt?
Can we surround it with public housing filled with the Muslims and MS-13 he loves ?
Can we remove the police from the area and approve a mosque that blasts prayers several times a day ?
Can we remove locals from all their jobs and favor the minority that will work for the lowest pay and share their house with several other families and sleep in shifts ?
Can the closest upper middle class community have these same illegals/migrants/victims/refuges/ect please let their neighbors pave their front and back lawns so that multiple cars and work trucks can park ? To them a house is an apartment complex you know.
That is Obama’s America. It happened to me.
more like a giant PRICK
Okay, didn’t remove the police but turned them into traffic police because you couldn’t drive on the road during certain times of the day because of the new mosque.
Will there be a big black Washington Monument obelisk, to honor….
…..Michelle?
Half-assed –
That glorified pencil couldn’t prick a thing. We need those kids dna tested.
That hill be a good spot for dindonuffins to pop a cap in a brother’s ass.
Why do I think this project will cost thirty times more than projected?
Non Profit my ass. He’s looking for government subsidy.
So, will the people hired from the neighborhood be unionized and receive union wages and benefits?
At a starting wage of $80,000/yr?
Located next to the obarky memorial brotherhood gun range and grill. After a hot afternoon of mobile target practice stop by for some ribs, grits, gravy, and watermelon skittles pie, finished off with da blunt of the month club.
He never est. where he was born, Usurpers don’t get libraries!
Would be more appropriate to name welfare offices, jails, court house holding cells, methadone centers, abortion clinics, junk yards, unemployment offices, red squares, union halls, emergency rooms in black parts of town, probation offices, MSM complexes, Communist party headquarters, and university buildings after Obama.
I guess he’s not even pretending to live in DC anymore. Bachelor Barry is on the prowl.
Is Barry going to have a penthouse like Slick? Or maybe he’ll just have a little forest on the roof with a Men’s Room he can troll.
Art of the Zeal….WOW.. Id love to hear your story
If it’s in Chicago they need to include a shooting range.
And there’s no truth to the rumor that Man’s Country is opening a subsidiary called Reggie’s Place….that’s a nasty rumor being pushed by Donna “Bobo” Brazile.
It will gave a fifty foot statue of him like Stalin or Lenin in the fallen USSR.
@Anon:
“If it’s in Chicago they need to include a shooting range.”
The whole city is a shooting range.

Now that right there is FUNNY!
Chicago where taking a drive is sponsored by your local ammunition supplier.
A special area set aside for >Moochie’s rainforest” with tropical trees, tire swings and lots of branches and vines to climb and swing from. It’ll be located directly across from the crack house.
I like that “head in the urinal” meme, but it doesn’t say which Obama uninated there.
He stands to pee??
