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:

— 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]

LOCK’em Up !
Good catch. Thanks mewzilla.
I’ve been in there - as a visitor! The window gaps, as I remember, were about 6-8 inches, just enough to let some light in and certainly not enough to crawl out at 10+ stories to your fall to the pavement.
You’re welcome!
No, all this for Deep State.
That’s what I’m thinking too.
The man may very well be the anti-christ.
Beauty is not possible with anything he is involved in.
Jeeze, it looks like one of those WWII Nazi flack towers!
It’s missing the giant statue of Yuri Gagarin.
Why are you posting pictures of a Nazi above ground bomb shelter and flack tower under construction?
Mr. Magoo thinks it’s the finest design he’s ever made.
Pictures prove Obama marriage is over because there is no way Big Mike has of getting his wide load ass into the building that I can see.

Looks like something straight out of The Fountainhead.
Fitting, as he reminds me of Toohey. Uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing and people sit in awe.

THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Suppose the parking lot will be divided by race, sexual preferences etc.?
