Poetic Justice: Obama Library Delayed - Discrimination Lawsuits, Environmental Injunctions, Enrichment Allegations
Story by Jack Davis • 16h

The proposed Obama Center in Chicago has become a towering welter of lawsuits and other issues.

The project was first proposed in 2017 after former President Barack Obama left the White House. From the outset, the project was stalled by resident opposition and other concerns. Once scheduled to open in 2021, the project now as an opening date of 2026.
 
The Institute for Policy Innovation complained that the center’s “poor location misses valuable opportunities to improve overall land use and economic development in Chicago from putting it elsewhere.”

“The Foundation’s sweetheart deal with Chicago violates the public trust doctrine, and the actual transfer took place without the Foundation meeting either its financial preconditions or the multiple environmental laws protecting key public landmarks. Even at this late date, the deal should be undone.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That's too bad for Chicago.  Having that library open would draw people in like the world's fair. :whistle:

Hussein could always move his self-aggrandizing monument vanity project library to Peoria, Illinois.  Bugs Bunny made Peoria famous.
