A Presidential Contest ... For Obama's Library
npr ^ | 7-7-2014 | CHERYL CORLEY

A nonprofit foundation created to fund and build the Obama presidential library is already beginning to mull proposals from contenders who'd like to be home to the facility.

Think of this fight over a presidential library like a boxing match with contenders in three corners of the ring — all looking to win the big prize and all claiming a connection to Obama.

1. The University of Hawaii ... is offering 8 acres of prime oceanfront property .

2. Columbia University ... in West Harlem to further its mission of teaching, research and public service.

3. A group of jostling competitors from Chicago despite a plea from the mayor to present one unified bid. But they all agree that Obama's post-presidential legacy should take shape in the city where his political career flourished.

It belongs where Obama learned his political skills and art of non-partisanship, Chicago! Put the Corrupt Politician’s Hall of Infamy next door, Illinois seems to have a plethora of eligible members!

I think a “port-a-potty” would work splendidly, with copies of Bill Ayers
Books for T.P. Even that would be much more than he deserves.

My old farmstead has an outhouse on it. The main floor is occupied by a family of raccoons, but I believe the basement is available.

A hundred dollars worth of paint should bring it up the standard befitting our Dear Leader.
