Chicago No Longer Seems a Lock to Host Obama’s Library, and Many Are Alarmed

They can’t get any bids in Chicago? How much does it cost to purchase a boarded-up liquor store and convert it to Obama’s Library and Welfare Office?

In his cell...

It won’t be Hawaii. Obama will put it where it best fluffs his ego. He will chose NYC where he can have millions of kids forced to do their pilgrimage and pay homage to his glory.

The guy’s a transient, so, what do they expect? He doesn’t really have a home.

[glorgau]

Yeah, it will be Hawaii. Chicago was just a useful stopover.

During the entire time Obama has been on office it doesn’t seem he has gone back to Chicago vey much, in fact very little.
He has that home there but they never seem to use it or visit anyone there.
So I doubt Chicago is very much in the running for the library.
Hawaii is much more the place where it will be and where he will be, which is just fine with me.

Maybe they could riot to show their support for the library.

For the location to have a statement relative to his political career, it should be built in the Balkans.

Come on, you guys have no imagination. As long as it's on a golf course it doesn't matter which course. Do they have a golf course in Kenya? Ah yes they do. Then I suggest we buy a copy of Obama’s book for the clubhouse of the Royal Nairobi Gold Club and put up a sign.

It's either that or the lost city of Atlantis.

I said Ike’s library was in Abilene and it still is. The reference to the song was merely cutesee.

[EvilCapitalist]

I say it should be in the Blue Oyster bar of Police Academy fame.

Nobody lives on Bikini Island after the nuke tests.

[newfreep]

Well, it’s the baddest part of town.

I know... I was making a joke...
