...But from the time it was proposed, the project has drawn scrutiny and divided the community along racial and class lines. Some residents worry that it could drive up property taxes and rents and displace poor people who live nearby. Others worry that the jobs would go to residents who live elsewhere.
A federal lawsuit brought by Friends of the Parks a separate group from Protect Our Parks helped scuttle a $400 million plan by Star Wars creator George Lucas to build a museum on public land next to Chicagos lakefront. That Lucas suit, like the Obama-project complaint, argued the project ran afoul of laws dating back to the 1800s barring new developments in a 26-mile chain of parks hugging Lake Michigan.
Defendants have chosen to deal with it in a classic Chicago political way ... a short con shell game, a corrupt scheme to deceive and seemingly legitimize an illegal land grab, the lawsuit says. It also described the city as gifting prized land to a Chicago favorite son.

Obama delivers speech to Boeing after $10M donation made to his presidential center
Wash Exam | 1/28/19 | Diana Stancy Correll / FR Posted by DeathBeforeDishonor1
Former President Barack Obama delivered a speech at Boeings annual executive retreat earlier this month after the company donated $10 million to Obamas library and museum in Chicago. Obama made an appearance at the retreat to provide leadership tips and waived his usual speaking fee for the occasion, Obamas spokeswoman Katie Hill told Bloomberg. Just last year, former President George W. Bush also provided a speech at the same event.
A spokesman for the Obama Foundation, which is overseeing the creation of the Obama Presidential Center, did not disclose the exact amount Boeing donated to the library and museum fund, but noted that Boeings website says the gift was more than $1 million. Such a donation isnt a first for Boeing, who previously donated $10 million to the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.
Were proud to partner with both of these presidential centers, Boeing spokesman Gordon Johndroe told Bloomberg. Johndroe said it is a priority for Boeing to build relationships in the communities where we live and work, given Boeing is headquartered in Chicago and has a new global services division in Dallas. Other speakers at the recent Boeing retreat included Magic Johnson, the Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations and former NBA star. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
====================================
BACKSTORY--THE BOEING SHAKEDOWN: Obama and Secy of State Hillary teamed up to manipulate US foreign policy.....
signing off on a $29B arms deal that got the Halfrican and the Clintons BIG, BIG BUCKS.
THE SCAM UPCLOSE---While Clinton was Secy of State (and Obama was in the WH dining room watching basketball),
the Boeing Corp. got State Dept clearance for a $29 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia, including Boeings F-15 fighter.
At that time, BOEING (cough) "GAVE" $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
And to get Obama to tear himself away from basketball, to sign off on the sales,
Boeing was strong-armed into signing up for the Halfrican's $10 million speech.

Judicial Watch needs to place these Obama travesties on his lengthening J/W FOIA agenda:
<><> The DOJ has info on Obama's unprecedented internal spying on Trump's 2016 campaign, including FBI docs.
.......The DOJ sent Intel Chair Devin Nunes the info.
<><> The Chicago-based tax-exempt Obama Foundation says it wont release the names of his donors.
.........Americans need to have this information.
<><> Obama is exploiting the presidency----pocketing huge speaking fees...
.........he will not reveal the terms of his speaking engagements.
<><> Comey, Clapper, Brennan, possible Susan Rice Face Civil and Criminal Liability for Spying on Americans.
........Americans need to see more on this.

Chicago is like the walkers on the Walking Dead TV show.
Their dead yet their brain refuse to believe they are dead.
Chicago has been corrupt for 100 years. Never going to change.
The 0panzy will get his way. Just reality.
“”Johndroe said it is a priority for Boeing to build relationships in the communities where we live and work, given Boeing is headquartered in Chicago and has a new global services division in Dallas.””
I don’t understand what they get when those former presidents are no longer in a position to to help them. Doesn’t make sense to me. Must be something about the whole dirty smelly bunch that just escapes we normal people!
They think it gives them gravitas. I look forward to the minarets and the 5 times a day call to prayer.
Boeing already cashed in.......Hillary’s State Dept ok’ed ca $29 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia, including Boeings F-15 fighter.
At that time, BOEING (cough) “GAVE” $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Obama tore himself away from basketball on TV to sign off on it.
Then but why now CONTINUE to funnel money into a dead horse for lack of better terminology.
Then-F/L Michele, her mother and daughters in the Moroccan palace.
Look at that smile----Obama gave her $100 million tax dollars----"to teach Muslim girls in Morocco." (OUCH)
AND GET THIS: The $100 mill is to be held by the Obama Foundation, to be doled out when necessary (cue laugh machine here).
==========================================
NOTE WELL: The $100 million "for Muslim girls" came out of the Millenium Challenge Fund at the State Dept----Hillary's fave slush fund.
ACTION NOW: Demand the books be opened-----taxpayers demand to know where the Millenium funds are going.

REFERENCE--- Obama's $1.3B giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....
SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.
The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.
If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.
Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

BACKSTORY The Obama mob (never expecting to lose 2016) left a huge paper trail that Hillary was supposed to sweep under the Oval Office rug.
Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury.....
ponder that...... Rham was Obama's COS AND controlled Treasury.
"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."
==========================================
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

====================================
Pres Trump needs to to ask US Treasury officials what exactly Rahm Emanuel and Obama were doing there.
PAUSE TO REFLECT--- As taxpayers were being gulled by the TARP fraud, Obama had tight control of Treasury and spent trillions of tax dollars. Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on the US Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role.
Shouldn’t the old Man’s Country be rehabbed for the Obama Library?
