Barack Hussein Obama announces the grand opening of his trash can "presidential center" in Chicago

[Cyber Liberty]

There is an honest-to-God name for this style of Architecture, and it fits:  Brutalist.

The only thing missing is Michele On the roof swatting at bi-planes like in King Kong.

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at http://tickets.obama.org.

There's More Intriguing Merch for the Obama Presidential Center - Some With Eye-Popping Price Tags
By Nick Arama | 5:49 PM on May 09, 2026

We reported on former President Barack Obama's effort this week to pump up his presidential center, which is finally opening in June.

He advertised it on May 4th with "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill. He also pitched it in an interview with Stephen Colbert.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow

.When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at http://tickets.obama.org.

As we can see from the clip, he's trying to make it a hub for promoting "hope" and "change."

I can't imagine there would be a lot of ordinary folks beating down the doors to visit. As we've noted, the main building is not exactly a beacon of attractiveness. It's just flat-out ugly. They're even selling a pin that's supposed to look like the building, and the pin is similarly ugly. Plus, you have to shell out $30 for the pin, which is just a gray blob of clay.

But it turns out they have other interesting things in the Center store.

One of the funniest was this necklace, which was priced at $390.

It’s a timeless, hand-crafted accessory and a graceful nod to Mrs. Obama’s celebrated eye for fashion and her belief that our style is a powerful part of our story.

Her celebrated eye for fashion? They're kidding, aren't they?

They are even pitching these renewable energy kits for kids. Except, collectively, they add up to $460.

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.

Obama’s mom Stanley Ann abandoned him by sending him at the age of 10 to live in America while she gallivanted with various men in Indonesia. Obama retaliated by not going to her bedside when she was dying of cancer, and skipping her funeral. That’s the real story.

His Mom was a whore.  Her mom raised the lil O'bastard and all he could do was disrespect her and call her a racist.

She also didn't care that he was being groomed by pedophile Marxist Frank Marshall Davis.

Might explain his baseball throwing style. He isn't a pitcher.

Excerpt:
The photos are out, and they’re every bit as bad as the rumors suggested.

Leaked images of Barack Obama’s statue at his Presidential Library in Chicago have surfaced, and the results are exactly what you’d expect from a project built on DEI principles from the ground up. Obama reportedly insisted the statue be created by a black sculptor — and the final product looks like a rushed, low-effort disaster.



This is not AI and I wish it was!

Obama's statue at his library has been unveiled and it looks like Ron Howard.

It looks like a giant concrete milk carton.  The arch is misshaped and the statues of Barry and Michael are ridiculous. 

Of course to the liberals this will be the greatest presidential library ever made.
