Afederal lawsuit reviewed by Newsweek alleges that a company involved in constructing the Obama Presidential Center subjected a Chicago-based Black American-owned subcontractor to "baseless criticism and defamatory and discriminatory accusations" and blamed the company for construction delays.
"In a shocking and disheartening turn of events, the African American owner of a local construction company finds himself and his company on the brink of forced closure because of racial discrimination by the structural engineer of record (Thornton Tomasetti) for the construction of The Obama Presidential Center," the case reads.
"At this time, we don't have any comment," attorney John Sebastian at Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald, who is representing the subcontractor, told Newsweek.
Newsweek reached out to Thornton Tomasetti and was told the press contact would "find out" if the company wants to comment. Newsweek also reached out to the Obama Foundation's communication team via email.
Why It Matters
The Obama Presidential Center, which is under development in Chicago, is a cultural and historic landmark as a tribute to former President Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States. His election in 2008 reflected a change in the country's demographic and political landscape, both of which will be a theme of the center, focusing on democracy, leadership and public service.

Even for his own library, they stole the money.
He should build it in Kenya................
Obama the ‘Magic Negro’
Trump could straighten out the mess in short order... doubtful Obama will ask.
The perfect metaphor for The Democratic Party
Oh for Eff sake, Newsweek, just stop with that insipid line! It doesn't!
Obama deserves a Presidential library.
One small room and enclosed in glass, a Koran.
Plus it still has 33 million records that archives claims is under archives control.
The National Archives said it “assumed exclusive legal and physical custody of Obama presidential records when President Barack Obama left office in 2017.”
The agency said about 30 million pages of unclassified records went to a National Archives facility in the Chicago area. Classified Obama presidential records are in a facility in the Washington, D.C., area.
How could they possible have looked at 33 million documents to determine none were classified. None of that passes the smell and laff test. That archives facility happens to be housed by Obama under Archives control...too funny !
Well, they were in boxes labelled ‘NO CLASSIFIED STUFF IN HERE” next to a old Corvette........
I would love to set up the Virtual Hussein Presidential Lie-Barry.
There would be two rooms. One room would have an empty chair with a teleprompter running 24/7 with one phrase on the teleprompter screen.
“If you like your doctor, then you are sh**t out of luck.”
The other room would be from Rush Limbaugh’s radio show with the 5-10 minutes of Hussein saying Uh Ah Uh Uh Ah Uh.
BTTT
Obama Center subcontractor files $40M discrimination lawsuit against engineering firm for overruns

That makes me happy.
He’s building it on the site of the 1892-3 Columbian Exposition, America’s great coming out party, obliterating that chapter in our history. A logical choice for America’s first anti-American president.
And they’re paving over the White City from the Chicago World’s Fair.
That’s not a coinkydink.
Funny. Just funny as hell. Obama’s legacy in a nutshell. Incompentence and skullduggery. What a combination.
I have often been comforted by the fact that Obama although an immoral, evil narcissist caused much damage his incompetence and that of his team saved America from the full weight of the evil aimed at her by the left.
black racist PRIVILEGE!!!!
WHAT “oppression”????
WHAT “favoritism”????
How much of soros’ $$$$ is behind this retarded abomination????
