I love it how blacks are turning on the 44th President.

You can’t make this stuff up!

It’s the Chicago Way - they’ll do what they want and to hell with you.

Meanwhile, you will vote for them again and again.

"6. Despite there being large plots of private land available in other parts of the South Side and other universities that have offered to sell land, the foundation has stuck with UC's backroom deal, the details of which are not available to the community. Other possible places for the center include city-owned land across the street from Washington Park, the University of Chicago owns land that could be used for the center, and three other universities that fought to host the OPC proposed to site it on land owned by each of those universities."6.

7. The University of Chicago's winning bid to put the center in Jackson Park has never been made public to this day. Panelists are concerned with the university's "land-banking" in recent years, buying millions of dollars of property around the neighborhood since 2014 in what some said is an effort to have real estate they can cash in on once the center prompts gentrification and spikes real estate values in the area."

"This is an all-reward, no-risk situation for them. They have no skin in the game, but now they can develop and make money off the land they own, rather than using some of it for the OPC. And, we do know they’ve spent millions of dollars in the past few years buying more land on the South Side," Birnbaum said. "We’ve never seen the University of Chicago’s bid for the OPC. What's in it? And we need to know about the university’s landholdings on the South Side. Right now that information is about as available as President Trump’s tax returns."

Everything your administration is doing is digitally created and stored. There is no need for a physical space for your archive. Taxpayers will appreciate it when you refuse to create a monument to yourself on their nickel.

I was in a doctors office reading in environmental rag, an article about Robert Redford doing a new series on parks in America.

He said, "I fear when the Republicans "take over" they are going to turn all of our parks into land development projects. R's don't care about the environment."

Wish I could ask Redford what he thinks about Obama wanting to develop one of the oldest historic parks in America, for an ode to Obama? Probably fine with him, its BHO of course. Kinda like a NYT editor carrying in her purse a little worship image of their black savior.

I’ve often wondered what he would put in it. After all, he has sequestered virtually every document from his past and he sure as hell didn’t do anything worthwhile when he was in office.

After 8 years, you wonder why at least ONE person from the MSM didn’t stand up at a press conference and ask: “Mr. President, you are the first President in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually everything from your past. Why is that?” Eight years and millions of people wanting to know, and not ONE had the stones to ask the question. Why? Because they feared the answer.

I have no problem with modest presidential libraries.

But they’ve grown out of control. They have more in common with Roman temples to deceased Emperors than repositories of history.
