Obama presidential library laughed off as looking like a ‘giant toenail’

 

Washington Times: When it comes to architecture, everyone’s a critic, as witnessed most recently by the Obama Presidential Center.

The distinctive design of the tribute to the 44th president has been compared unfavorably to a giant toenail.

Writing in the Chicago Tribune, columnist Ron Grossman said the library “evokes a soft-boiled egg in a giant eggcup.”

“My problem isn’t the design, though the centerpiece is a tower, heavy around the midsection and tapering to a narrow top and bottom,” Mr. Grossman wrote.

On Twitter, Washington Free Beacon reporter Alex Griswold said the pear-shaped white building reminds him of a “giant toenail”— and the surrounding campus, a putt-putt course.   read more

  2. Good gravy! It’s surrounded by federally (taxpayer) subsidized windmills. And how about the stench of dead birds all along the put-put course? Maybe they’ll have roving packs of feral dogs. Nice!

  3. I bet if you crank a handle in a secret room the top opens up and a helipad comes up and President Fancypants can come see how many people bought Obamacones at the snack bar

  4. “… columnist Ron Grossman said the library “evokes a soft-boiled egg in a giant eggcup.””

    Sounds appropriate for Barry. The Dutch phrase, zacht gekookt ei (soft boiled egg), is a slang term for someone who is a cowardly spineless wimp.

    At least that is what a Dutchman told me when I couldn’t figure out what it meant when someone was called a zacht gekookt ei.
