Obama Library Center won't follow National Archive model
« on: May 15, 2017, 06:37:28 am »
CHICAGO (AP) - The Obama Presidential Center will not be a part of the presidential library network operated by the National Archives and Records Administration.

The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/2q7ae6o ) the move will free the Obama Foundation from amassing an endowment equivalent to 60 percent of the construction cost.

The foundation won't have to adhere to the agency's architectural and design standards. And it won't have to pay NARA to help run an agency-controlled portion of the center.

There's a .gov website, though:

About the Library
 
The Barack Obama Presidential Library is the 14th presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a federal agency.

Presidential Libraries and Museums, like their holdings, belong to the American people without regard for political considerations or affiliations.  Currently the materials are housed in a temporary facility in Hoffman Estates, IL, which is not open to the public. 

Obama presidential records are administered in accordance with the requirements of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and will not be subject to public Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests until January 20, 2022.
Is there a difference between the Obama Presidential Center and Barack Obama Presidential Library? Will the former be sited in Boystown, Chicago?  :whistle:

I have little doubt the records are safe on a private server somewhere, right?  :shrug:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm sure there's an explanation somewhere of why Barry was still in law school at age 29:
Quote
... In 1991, Obama, a 29-year-old soon-to-be Harvard Law School grad, wrote a paper with a friend, Robert Fisher, called “Race and Rights Rhetoric.” Obama summed up the average American’s mindset with the following sentence: "I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will."

Let's see, cheap (because it can't be 100% grifted govt funds), dodgy, sketchy, opaque, and evasive.

Yep, sounds like the perfect Obama project.
