No Documents in Obama Library? No Mystery There.
American Thinker.com ^ | October 13, 2017 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 10/13/2017 7:11:54 AM PDT by Kaslin

The Fox News headline sums up the issue at hand: "No Obama documents in Obama library? Historians puzzled by Chicago center plans."

The article continues, "The Obama Foundation is taking an unconventional approach to the presidential center and library being planned in Chicago. It's opting to host a digital archive of President Barack Obama's records, but not keep his hard-copy manuscripts and letters and other documents onsite."

The Chicago Tribune broke the story that, to this point, has attracted no major media attention. Its headline raises much the same question Fox News did: "Without archives on site, how will Obama Center benefit area students, scholars?"

The Tribune tries to answer that question but succeeds only in pacifying Obama fanboys. There is no good answer, but there is an answer, and it is this: Obama is not a literary genius. In fact, Obama is not a particularly good writer. His reputation would wither if researchers were allowed access to original documents.

To this day, Obama supporters in the media refuse to accept what is obvious to anyone who has looked carefully at his literary track record. (Sorry, but I have vowed never to use the word "oeuvre" except as a punch line).

Earlier in 2017, when the question of Obama's gazillion-dollar presidential memoirs first surfaced, the publishing community showed just how much its studied ignorance affected its judgment.

"Mr. Obama's writing ability could make his memoir not only profitable in its first years but perhaps for decades to come," Gardiner Harris observed matter-of-factly in a September 2016 piece in the New York Times. Harris speculated, in fact, that Obama's newest effort would be a book for the ages, not unlike the memoir of Ulysses S. Grant, which continues to sell.

They’ll scan like 10 pages a day and make it publicly available. Keep everything else under lock and key. What a joke.

If he can’t produce a genuine birth certificate, there is absolutely no confidence in any other of his “documents”, virtual or hardcopy.

Everything about the Fraud’s life is a lie.

It's a propaganda center and a front for accepting donations.
The less people learn about the 0bama years, the better for the 0bamas and the Dems.

They can frame all of NCAA basketball brackets he filled out. Also, the many vacation itineraries.

The Clinton Library was a ‘trailer house’ ; Obama’s should be an ‘out house’ called a ‘bath house’, not much room there for ‘documents’ I would say...

Nothing of substance of any sort would be there. His golf glove? An empty pack of KOOL’s? Bong? His old Che nightshirt?

Well done. An excellent name for the place of the least transparent president ever.

Empty museum about an empty suit.

Why does it need to exist if it’s all digital “exhibits?”
