Two Chicago universities will advance to the next round of competition to build the Barack Obama presidential library and museum, the president’s foundation announced on Monday..
The University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago will join Columbia University in New York and the University of Hawaii in submitting official proposals to host the library.
The semifinalists were chosen from a field of 13 potential bidders that hoped to host the library. In Chicago, the remaining potential sites are on the South Side and the West Side.

I hope the contract for the library includes bullet-proof glass
Chicago??? does this mean when the people get pissed it will be looted?
“Another good reason to stay away from Chicago! “
And Hawaii !!!

I can't imagine how anyone can find anything of interest or significant historical value. (maybe some golf scorecards and NCAA Tournament bracket picks?)
yes you could get mugged going in and shot coming out. pretty well sums up dumbo’s regieme.
Each and every one of them are bastions of left wing idealism. When I was at the UofI as far back as the 50's there were admitted Marxists in the faculty and this in spite of the McCarthy investigations. Chicago has always been the center of Marxism in the USA. My apologies to Washington DC. but you are number two..in more ways than that.
Does need to university - just get a port-a-potty and have it travel around the country. the library will be no more than what a port-a-potty produces - stinketh just like the resident!
What about the University of Nairobi.
The dogs! I can’t imagine they’ll want to keep them when they have to take care of them themselves.

I was thinking of Indonesia JC, myself.
I’m all for it being in Chicago. The way things are going there, Chicago will at some point be in ruins. How appropriate...an Obama presidential library it’s unsafe to travel to.
Who will get the LieBarry?
I went to grad school at Loyola in Chicago. Glad they aren’t interested at least.
I noticed the University of Nairobi wasn’t on the list...
This took place in a theater on the campus or GA Southwestern University, in Americus.
Another feature of GA Southwestern is, it is the home of the James Earl Carter Library.
Obama could take a hint from Carter, put your library in a tiny town with no tourism, but we all know the narcissist won't do that.
I was kind of hoping Indonesia would put in a bid,
that is really the place for it....far, far, away.
Obama’s Liebrary and Chicago deserve each other.
Oorah.
