The Illinois Republican Party has blasted as "divisive" the hiring language the Obama Foundation is using for the Obama Presidential Center, arguing it shows the privately run project is using public land to advance a political agenda.
The Obama Foundation, which is developing the hotly debated center on Chicago’s South Side, recently advertised roughly 150 jobs at the facility, stating that successful applicants are expected to align with the foundation’s "anti-racism" goals.
"It’s an Illinois Democrat tradition to insert divisive, far-left policies into the lives of everyday Americans and to balk at the rule of law," Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi told Fox News Digital.
"The Obama Center is no different. It is a recipient of taxpayer funds built on public lands and flouts ‘anti-racism’ hiring goals," Salvi said. "But such employment practices sound discriminatory and unmoored from any assessment of merit."
The Obama Foundation secured control of a 19.3-acre section of Jackson Park — often described as Chicago’s equivalent of Central Park — under a 99-year agreement for just $10, after city officials approved the project under the premise that the center would function as a civic institution serving the public interest.
Opponents argued the land transfer violated the public trust doctrine, a legal principle requiring public land to serve a public purpose, and filed multiple lawsuits seeking to halt construction. The courts ultimately allowed the project to proceed without adjudicating the merits of those claims.
While commonly referred to as a presidential "library," the Obama Presidential Center is not operated by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and does not function as a traditional presidential library.

That ugly grey building needs a mega drone strike.
It looks like a prison.
Probably reinforced steel and is the headquarters for the Obummer Islamocommie CIA!

I don’t care.
On public land you say.
Well
Let the riots by right wing campers begin.
Why you ask,
Because the left keeps blabbering that camp grounds on public land is racist and only used my right wing racists.
I wonder if Frederick Douglass would have given it a thumnbs up
**snicker**
Looks like a prison or WW2 German flak tower.
“Anti racism” = anti white hate = racism.
“I don’t care.”
Nobody cares.
How about we aim that secret weapon used in Venezuela at that ugly thing, and see what happens. Oooh...a girl can dream, can’t she?

Good info.
Their tax exempt status should be immediately revoked.
They are engaged in anti white hate.
That is political.
It is a giant mausoleum for Obama and his flunkies
The foundation committed to creating a $470 million endowment — a reserve fund commonly used by nonprofits and universities to help cover long-term operating costs by generating investment income — but its latest tax filings show that only $1 million has ever been deposited.
Just make sure they’re all inside in a meeting before the secret weapon strike!
That fat azz Pritzker too!
An ugly, Butalist mess.
Apparently the endowment is missing USAID’s planned $469 million investment.

Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, known as liquidation, signifies the end of a non-profit’s operations. This process involves the complete shutdown of the organization and the sale of its assets to pay off debts. Once the petition is filed, the non-profit must cease all activities, and the bankruptcy court appoints a trustee to take legal control of its property and finances.
