We reported on former President Barack Obama's effort this week to pump up his presidential center, which is finally opening in June.(snip)
I can't imagine there would be a lot of ordinary folks beating down the doors to visit. As we've noted, the main building is not exactly a beacon of attractiveness. It's just flat-out ugly. They're even selling a pin that's supposed to look like the building, and the pin is similarly ugly. Plus, you have to shell out $30 for the pin, which is just a gray blob of clay.
One of the funniest was this necklace, which was priced at $390.(snip)
"It’s a timeless, hand-crafted accessory and a graceful nod to Mrs. Obama’s celebrated eye for fashion and her belief that our style is a powerful part of our story."
Her celebrated eye for fashion? They're kidding, aren't they?
They are even pitching these renewable energy kits for kids. Except, collectively, they add up to $460.(snip)
But in among the books that are mostly about Barack or Michelle Obama is this classic. Somehow, its inclusion tells you all you need to know.
"Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals ($20) is available for purchase" (snip)
Oh, and if you are silly enough to buy it from them, it will cost you double what you could pay for it on Amazon. So, why would you buy it from the Center?
But if you buy things, there is this fine print:
Proceeds from each sale support the Obama Foundation in its mission to inspire, empower and connect people to change their world.
As the saying goes, Caveat emptor.

Damn, that is one UGLY building.
Despite everything we’ve witnessed, I doubt his public has been as fully ‘infantilized’ as Obama seems to think.
I thought that was some kind of IUD.
> $25 for ages 2-11 <
How pathetic is that? Take a little 3-year-old toddler with you, pay an extra $25.
Better that everyone stays home. Save your money. Save your sanity.

I'm thinking bulk purchase to
hand out as party favors.

Thanks for info on admission. So based on that, I’m sure they have people doing projections on how many people need to visit for them to break even or turn a profit.
What I don’t know is if they are going to look for a taxpayer subsidy.If they are running in the red. Or if any taxpayer subsidy is built into their financial projections.
ROTFLMAO!
Paperback (new) under $10 on Amazon. Recommended reading for all MAGA radicals.
Perfect teeth! Everything the Obozo clowns do is a big lie.
She seems to have the same teeth as in her wedding photos. Why do you think they’re fake?

The Books section is a real SNORING bore of washed over washed up “gettin’real” down for the struggle utter BULLshite. Rainbow black coalition of multiple Barack “stories” warmed over reheated and massaged pure crap from a singularly unaccomplished paid “boy” for Islam.
Out of nowhere- probably for the connection of the story to the City of Chicago is the horrifying true story of the serial murderer
....Holmes, MD who killed hundreds of tourists and newcomers to Chicago’s World’s Fair. He killed then dissolved them in vats of acid.
Erik Larson- a very good writer (Isaac’s Storm, In the Garden of the Beasts:An American Family in Pre WWII Nazi Berlin”)— again this is ONE book that doesn’t belong amongst the highly racial bigotted bullcrap about moochie and obamaumao and their “made up” history of pissed off stupid race hatred and Communism. Period. Over and OUT! (Damn spot).
In case anyone is looking for me, don/t bother looking here.

The pin looks like a briefly-chewed piece of bubble gum.
Maybe that’s what inspired the artist.
