Barack Obama's presidency stunk, and so does the building he's building to celebrate his 'legacy.'
Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted pictures of its emerging look:
Obama’s presidential library looks like…[FILL IN THE BLANK]. pic.twitter.com/Y7wcVP0T6m
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) July 25, 2025 It's a monument to megalomania, monomania, and ego.
It's been plagued by community protests, cost overrun, no-bid contracts with shoddy materials and all the other hallmarks of a one-party blue city and its government.
Which pretty well describes Obama's political career -- an ugly career demands an ugly building.
All the same, who the heck approved the design of this nightmare -- which by the way, contains no books, and serves as just a monument to Obama and his mighty uncontrolled ego and god complex. It's reflective ... even if light sinks into it like a black hole.
According to Wikipedia:
The Barack Obama Presidential Center is a planned museum, library, and education project in Chicago to commemorate the presidency of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States.[2][3] The center will also include community and conference facilities and will house the nonprofit Obama Foundation. Construction on the 19.3-acre (7.8 ha) campus began in 2021, the tower topped out in mid-2024, and the center is expected to open in the first half of 2026.[4][5][6]
The center's work includes digitizing the Barack Obama Presidential Library with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), to create the first fully digitized presidential library.[2] The Library is administered by NARA, which will preserve hardcopies of documents at a separate NARA facility; however, many will be loaned to the Presidential Center for display.[2]
The center is located in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago, adjacent to the University of Chicago campus.[7] The university provides planning, support, engagement and programming.[8]

We believe that architecture is the coming together of art and use, and can bring a sense of grace to life. The greatest buildings are places, which contribute to more than their particular task by elevating and improving the world.
We are deeply moved by the mission of the Obama Foundation and the role the Center can play in empowering that mission. It is a joy, an honor, and a responsibility to create a place that reflects the optimism and integrity of the President and the First Lady. This has been a transformative presidency and we will work to make a Center that embodies and expands the Obamas’ vision. We look forward to collaborating with our partners, Interactive Design Architects, and to working with the South Side community.
Or nazi.
Is the devastated landscape surrounding it part of the design?
Have you seen the National Museum of African American History on the mall in DC? Some speculated at the time that its design was Obama’s middle finger to the traditional architecture on the mall. Now that I see his library, maybe he just has really bad taste

Library? For what?? Democrats read???
I said it reminds me of a guard tower for a prison.
World War II anti-aircraft/flak tower works, too.
it’s some sort of temple to his demon
It has a sort of 1960’s East Berlin sort of charm.
It has to be large in order to accommodate the giant document shredder in the basement.
Where’s the moat?
Or, late Morlock, as seen in George Pal’s film, The Time Machine.
How fitting it looks like a metropolitan jail.
Every little kid in the state is going to be forced to go there for school pilgrimage day trips to worship the lightbringer.
I can’t decide, Flak Tower or grain elevator ?
If it’s all computerized why the monstrous edifice?
Well, it definitely is a representation.
To worship at the temple of satan's disciple.
It looks like the sort of thing a Marxist would build/like. Entirely appropriate for Obola.

I’m seeing a modern Kabba. No? Paint it black and remove the top.
