Obama library shapes up as the ugliest thing on Earth

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]

It was going to be the Colossus of Obamymandias but the architect figured lets cut straight to his legacy - only one lower leg still standing.

that reminds me, Hitler had Speer draw up what his public buildings would look like when they were in ruins in 1000 years, to compare to those of ancient Greece and Rome

This is especially true since it appears that the mix-breed nitwit committed all sorts of crimes in attempting to undermine our society in many ways.

They should turn it into a prison for democrat politicians.

I can see the resemblance, but the flak towers were better looking and they actually had a purpose.

It looks like they bricked up the lower floors of an urban 70’s housing project.
