800 old growth trees were removed to make room for the cement tomb.
Shocked face.
That thing looks like a soviet radar installation.
The grift continues
It is fitting that it is so ugly.
“Could leave Chicagoans on the hook for millions of dollars”
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Somebody won’t be getting that third yacht.
Presidential libraries are as big a folly as preserving old warships and the like. At least the saved warships did something useful by comparison. Presidential libraries are a folly to self-aggrandizement, misplaced ego and other delusions of grandeur.
The only memorial obama needs is a headstone and a small one at that.
Install loud speakers on the monolith for the call to prayer.
Estimates consistently cite 640–800 old-growth trees cleared from the Jackson Park site alone starting in August 2021, with an additional 300–463 trees removed for traffic improvements and park relocations. A 2018 tree inventory by Bartlett Tree Experts valued the 640 site trees at over $3.5 million and noted their role in storing 203 tons of carbon and removing 341 pounds of air pollution annually.
0$ama Hussein is a grifter.
No way! Who could have seen that coming?
Reported yesterday that they are $618 MILLION into this project already and it looks like a Dresden firehouse. Where did the money go? Oh, where?
And yet, it has given $2M to the radical Tides Foundation that has nothin to do with the library.
Leftists are axiomatically incapable of doing anything without grift.
If they attempted this any sane place (NOT Chicago) their failure to pony up the reserve $ would trigger a total halt.
If this continued is a sane state (not IL) the management and contractors would be sued, fined, put out of business and possibly jailed for fraud.
Instead they burned money for years and everyone involved knew full well they’d just toss the cost on the taxpayer.
LOL! SHITCAGO!
“....could potentially leave Chicagoans on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars...”
I hope so...good and HARD!
Did the agreement specify a date and a ring?
Tear it down now. Finally, the truths about Obama are coming out, and those truths are as ugly as the monstrosity being built in a Chicago city park.
But they will come up with some way to blame Trump and Republicans when the scheme goes belly up.
No problem. Pritzker can levy an Illinois tax for the Obama Presidential library abomination ... what is another 800 million or billion to a rich state like Illinois.
Pull the permits until the endowment is funded.
In the mean time the Obama library has given $2M to the Tides Foundation.
