DC: There is a major controversy over the location of the proposed Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
The center has been accused of gentrifying an urban neighborhood, ruining a park and being “socially regressive.” It has also been the subject of a lawsuit. The center has also been called ugly.
Now, the center faces a big cultural challenge. Chicago superstar Chance the Rapper tweeted Wednesday that he is not in favor of the center since the City Council, which just approved the plans, did not seek input from the neighborhood it will reside in. more
Dictators don’t need no stinkin’ input from the community they’re taking over.
Turns out to be a land grab for prime real estate. Private donors put up $500 million for presidential library, only this is no longer considered a presidential library – it will not be administered by the National Parks and Records Administration.
Once secured, I’ll bet the square footage will be leased to various corporations for hefty profit margins, to be perpetually kicked back to Obama and other carpetbaggers.
Don’t worry, the opposition is just positioning to get some of the graft.
These bastards are always scheming, lying and cheating to rip off the American public.
“I’ll go back to doing the kinds of work that I was doing before, just trying to find ways to help people,” he told middle schoolers last year. “Help young people get educations, and help people get jobs, and try to bring businesses into neighborhoods that don’t have enough businesses. That’s the kind of work that I really love to do.”–Barky
Looks like your own community is organizing against you, Barky. And where is that book you went to Tahiti to write? Things just ain’t workin’ out, are they?
Obama; Elect me President and I’ll help you. (Didn’t happen).
Reelect me and I’ll help you. (Didn’t happen).
Build me the Obama Presidential Center and I’ll help you.
(Guess what?)
8 Years of corporate bank bailouts, half-truths, lies, broken promises division and treason.
The black community and many democrats still believe that obama will actually do as he promised. Plantation mentality

All of their Mosques claim to be Community Centers.
Right in your face.
Massa beez black, he don’t hit weuns hard as de white Debbil Massa.
Every morning I get out of bed, am thankful I’m able to, also that our country didn’t have to suffer two crooked Prog Presidents in a row.
Will it have a gay bath house and spa? Will moochelle have to have a separate changing and bathroom facility?
Will there be reefer and choom rooms and places to meet with undercover political operatives?
Hopefully there will be a prison outreach program (soon)?
Kennya & Indonesia both have locations available. And are also more appropriate.
Build it in Hawaii.
I hear real estate there is really hot these days.
But Michelle left a box of Xmas ornaments on a bench in that park… a decade ago… so… uh… DIBSIES!
Shouldn’t the stupid thing be built in Mommbasa Kenya in the first place?
