The Obama Presidential Library revealed that it won’t be providing any original documents written by Obama. Instead of having the former president’s manuscripts, documents and letters from his tenure in office—items presidential centers around the country all have—the Obama Library will have space for outdoor functions and picnics, a basketball court, recording studio, sledding hill, children’s play garden, and more. The decision has scholars puzzled and disappointed.
University of Chicago Professor of Black Studies Richard Buttkiss could hardly contain his dismay that “the written words of the greatest man to ever walk the Earth will not be available for historians to directly access. It’s as if the apostles had been barred from hearing Jesus speak. It seems like the world will be denied the opportunity to advance to a higher state of consciousness.”
Obama Foundation CEO David Simas explained that “President Obama did not want his legacy to be defined by a sterile preservation of his actual words, but to be a living record that evolves to meet the changing needs of an America on the move. What he wrote or said is not as important as what he meant or intended. By sloughing off the detritus of the past this President’s library will remain eternally relevant.”
Simas advised those who want to keep up with this evolving legacy “to buy his forthcoming books. The genius of this approach is that rather than rely on fallible outsiders to sift through an archive of old documents to craft a history of his era, President Obama will be cornering the market by blocking access to obsolete artifacts. A not insignificant byproduct will, of course, be the higher profits he will garner from book sales and speaking engagements as the sole source of insight for his term in office.”

Will it at least have the crayon art he created that Michelle posted on their refrigerator door?
It also won’t include who Obama really is and where he really came from.
It should be called Obama’s Never Never Land.
Guaranteed, There will be a muslim prayer room in the basement, just down the hall from the handgun armory.
There will be a turnstile at the entrance, and all deposits will be sent to Obama’s bank account.
it needs to display just one document, his daddy’s Kenyan birth certificate
How comes it to be that you never make comments to Free Republic posters?

How comes it to be that you only post your own material?
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:johnsemmens/index?tab=articles
Is there nothing else besides your own material that you care to share with us?
It will have a copy of the Koran, a copy of the Communist manifesto and a copy of Rules for Radicals.
Do you ever give it a rest?
Why would I?
Do these drunken bums give a rest to trying to score traffic from Free Republic?
Who made you posting nanny?
Who stopped you from pointing out bad behavior?
The biggest problem with the Obama library- the coloring book might get vandalized.
So what will it include? Obama’s coloring books?
Who is Harrison j. Bounel?
Oh crap! I thought we’d get to see all of Obama’s great legal writings from Harvard, all the drafts of his two books, and his original birth certificate.
I’m sorry. I thought presidential libraries actually were to help the American people learn about their presidents, not cover up for them.
But, then, again, in the case of Obama, he probably never had any great legal writings at school, no drafts of his books, and only Xerox copies of Xerox copies of something slightly resembling a birth certificate.
You taxpayers’ dollar at waste.
