Seeing how they decorated everything in the White House to look ghetto fab, no wonder this monstrosity was approved. I look forward to it losing tons of money for all the idiots backing that grifting commie.

Last I heard this Library is years overdue, millions over budget, and the DIE contractors are suing each other. And now it’s ugly as hell.

It’s a total cluster bleep.

Modernist, brutalist, with an urbanized exterior, looking like a post-apocalyptic missile silo.

That’s DEI architecture for you.

0bama obligated that a substantial amount of the contracts had to be given to minorities.

I’m sure if this shrine’s location was up to Osama Obama he would have had it replace the White House.

Obama’s library reminds of the flak towers built by the Germans during WW2. So much so that I’m beginning to wonder if the architect is following an old Nazi flak tower plan by mistake.
