Breitbart: Former President Barack Obama’s presidential library could require a $1.5 billion endowment, according to architects in charge of designing the library.
The amount is three times more than the money raised to build the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas that opened in 2013, the New York Post’s Page Six reported.
Architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien noted that Obama declined to do a lot of fundraising for the center while in office, and said the reason the center would be so expensive was because of the high cost of building both a library and a museum.
The architects say the originally estimated cost of the buildings at $200 million is more likely to be closer to $300 million.
He could get a better deal if he could get the President to negotiate for him.
$1.4 billion is just for all the whitewash they need to use to make BO not look like America’s enemy.
The elitism is strong with this one. The man’s shit stinks like everyone else, even if he was the first halfrican president.
Who knew pop-up and scratch and sniff books could be so expensive?
The cost is all in the walls and fortifications, necessary because it’s in Chicago.
I will bet now that it will be over budget and behind schedule.
That’s one expensive shit-house!
izlamo delenda est …
That’s pretty expensive for a worthless president.
That’s a lotta money for a bathhouse. Must be all those gold lined glory holes.
Where are all the liberals worrying about BO’s carbon footprint?! I can only imagine the media’s spin if Trump were to do this, even with his own money.
Why not just buy a few air mattresses and throw them in the sewer plant’s settling pond. It would be more appropriate.
Modeled on a bus station men’s room stall, no doubt …

1.5 billion buys a lot of comic books and gay porn
That’s a lot of money laundering and off-the-books islamic terrorist attacks payments.
Will it have a wing for Hillary’s deleted e-mails?
I know a guy who could get it done for half the price in half the time. But he’s busy with important things right now.
All the books, photos, literature in it will be pure fiction!
1.5 Billion? That’s a hell of a lot of coloring books.
“Compensating for something, dude?” That’s what the pussy hats would say if Barky was hetero.
For a TOILET? Typical government grab.
that’s a lot of money just to house a lot of..
uummmmssss, aaaahhhhssss and mmmmmsssss.
his three main “words”.
at least that’s all I heard when I listened to any of his speaches.
I’d be happy with a “Sad Obama” statue by renowned sculptor, Big Fur Hat.
Each display will require barf bag dispensers.
There must be a two holer in there somewhere!
Should be big enough to house both Obuttholes illegal family members and an additional million illegal squatters turned away by the Vatican and the mega rich America haters!
Let this fool pay for his own worthless library, stocked no doubt with Allinsky and “I hate whitey” books.
Someone should ask CAIR for the money and make sure that a mosque is included. We don’t want to forget how Bammy loves his call to prayer and extremist muslim relatives, and how he did everything possible to promote Islam.
Why so much on the library? All it will contain are his books, the one Michelly is writing and Rules for Radicals.
They gonna need a whole wing for the wookie’s
ass…..
I still like the Nebraska out house concept
myself.
