DC:
Officials with the Obama Foundation will circumvent onerous federal standards by creating an online archive for the forthcoming Barack Obama Presidential Center instead of a traditional paper archive.
Utilizing a digitized presidential library also means not having to pay fees to the National Archives and Records Administration for management of the library, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The $500 million Obama center — a soul-crushing, concrete architectural monstrosity — will feature basketball courts, a recording studio, meeting rooms, an auditorium, a children’s play garden and, of course, an exhibition hall for odes to the world-historical idea of Barack Obama. Unlike every other presidential library, however, it will be bereft of historical documents.
Some historians say they are perplexed about the decision to cut cost by creating an online-only archive of Obama’s manuscripts, letters, speech drafts and other papers.
Presidential historian Gil Troy suggested that the library-less library is terrible for people seeking to understand the past. more here
Not even a paper copy of his original birth certificate?
Shucks.
Easier to edit, continually.
Let’s be honest now, are any of us going there?
So it really doesn’t matter whether it has all his manuscripts or is just an ode to his ‘body man’ Reggie Love.
Obama doesn’t want intellectuals to interfere with his plans to make this an urban terrorist training/indoctrination camp. Why would the trainees need to read?
Good! Hopefully it will get hacked and he will erase himself from history.
Artists rendition: Eyesore of the future. A hangout for the homeless.
Could be a sarcophagus.
Did anyone expect it to house paper: 1 Birth Certificate, 2 college transcripts, 3 Social Security card , 4 teleprompter transcripts (err, uh uh, umm..) ??
He’ll be outside shooting hoops (throwing bricks) and Mooch will be lurking in the garden, sniffing out root vegetables.
Veeerrry interesting, who knew the federal government has standards.

The Empire Kicks Back
Obozo has been skirting laws ever since he came into public view so why would we expect a change.
It matters because it will cost 5 $million, and more with the inevitable over run.
If it’s going to be an online facility, putting the server in one of his bathrooms should suffice.
A 500 million dollar center dedicated to a girly man whose whole life is a damn lie
“recording studio, meeting rooms, an auditorium”
Essentially it’s going to be an additional rendezvous for Jizz-E, Bouncy, and all their friends.
Well, Hillary already saved him having to store thousands of her e-mails. Who knows how many more official government communications with Holder, Lynch, Rice and Lerner can also be conveniently deleted?
A Library without documents — a perfect fit for his illiterate sycophants who can’t read.

Brutalist, baby.
Has anyone here been to ANY presidential library? They’re all a waste of money. Spare us the egotistical shrine building.
If everything is going to be digital, isn’t all he needs a dummy lap-top (maybe with a rain-cover, like a bus-stop) with an internet connection and a server in Hillary’s bathroom?
We need to get Gucifer on this and reveal the all the creative editing that’s taking place.
Good. The money those clueless suckers pour into this worthless building is money they won’t put into left wing candidates.
PHenry, we have the Carter Library to avoid. When it was built, the plan was to build a new expressway from downtown Atlanta to the perimeter, But everybody rose up against the “ex-prezway”, and the stub highway now meanders into a speed trap for a mile before petering out into the library campus. Forgettable, institutional architecture, but at least it’s low-rise.
All of those Federal laws O liked to enact were for peons. Pfffffffft.
Anon. it’s projected to cost $500 million! Unreasonable, improper, just wrong. Still, the server SHOULD be in his home bathroom.
The empty suit has an empty library. Just another way the Obamas stick it to the taxpayers and taint our country with their stench. Can’t wait until it opens to watch the MSM ooh and ah over how cool and awesome it is.
I heard that the only book Obama wants in the Library is “Little Black Sambo”!
That place offends me. Tear it down once it’s built.
I remember living out in the sticks. There was a Sears catalog in there. Far more interesting than Obama’s virtual library.
I don’t want to know what the “digitalized” version of toilet paper is, thanks just the same…….
The damn thing looks like a mausoleum or headstone. I suppose that is appropriate; bury the 🐂💩.
I really think a better design would have been a catin a litter box, animated to look as if the cat is trying to cover the 💩.
The first thing I thought of
when I looked at that architectural rendering

I went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library about the week after it first opened. Loved it. Patriotic, had all his documents, letters, books he read, notes he wrote, etc. He was a prolific writer. Great place to visit.
I call first dibs on the fried chicken concession stand at the entrance.
I get the architecture; it represents a grass shack in Kenya, his country of birth. And is that a wall I see around the perimeter??!

In other words, a community organizing center. Mark my words– five years after its completion (or maybe not even that long) it’ll look like a ghetto replete with shootings, stabbings, and drug deals. I’m going to save this post to see how good my prognostication skills are.
What Obama doesn’t know about life, America, and history would make a library anyone would be proud of. (I read that somewhere).
At least the architect’s rendering is a two-story grass hut in Kenya.
The description forgot to mention the “males only” bath house.
And the Mosque complete with foot-washing fixtures.
I’m sure they’re bringing their own korans.
I can’t wait to see how fast the local NAPAs fuck it up, then blame YT.
“Unlike every other presidential library, however, it will be bereft of historical documents.”
And that is the epitaph of the Obama Administration. I wish I could get those eight years back!
It will be a political/social breeding ground for bankrolled anarchists, thugs and communists.
