Bankrupt Illinois is wasting over $200 million in taxpayer funds to support the proposed Obama Center. The actual number will probably end up being much higher.
Obama brought the United States close to insolvency with his massive deficits. Now he is doing the same for Illinois.

All of these ex-rust belt cities construct stuff because they think it will bring in future profits. In Cuyahoga County, money is being spent to encase the Q (NBA arena) in glass. Money for this stuff should instead be spent on community policing and road repair. JMHO

What’s really important to these people is creating a shining legacy for the man who betrayed his country.

This is not quite double what Obama and company pissed off (without accomplishing their goals) in the Chicago Annenburg Challenge grant.
Just imagine what, IIRC, a hundred ten million worth of remedial education could have done for poor kids rather than what politically correct, raceially aware “education” programs did to them?

To be fair, Illinois was insolvent long before Obama. Their bonds are junk-grade no matter what the ratings services claim. They simply have no intention of ever paying them back.

The new Democrat governor will probably double that amount.

Maybe they will make it up on increased tourism.
You would travel to Illinois on your summer vacation to see the Obama Center and bask in his legacy there, wouldn't you?
Remember Cash for Clunkers?
And Obama phones?
And Michelle Obama’s healthy school lunches ?
And the Shovel Ready jobs?
And the Obamacare website ?
Great memories!

Obama's legacy? There is no legacy other than the on going immigration mess...A tent city paid for by the U.S taxpayer...food and medicine, diapers by the tens of thousands...waste pic-up...U.S.A. footing the bill. Those aren't little children in that line, more like teenage boys...MI-13 fodder more than likely.
