This rendering of the proposed presidential library is included in the bid to the Barack Obama Foundation from McCaffery Interests. Developer Dan McCaffery wants the library to be a focal point of his 589-acre Chicago Lakeside project, site of the former U.S. Steel South Works. | Rendering by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

How ‘bout a homosexual bathhouse since he’d be returning to his roots. Make sure it’s off-shore.

That artist has it all wrong. Mosques don’t look like that!

It’s ugly, an old steelworks site is probably polluted, and that unbalanced and irrational structure it will probably fall into the polluted lake. What’s not to like?

I actually like it.

(sorry, but I do)

It seems right, and it is around the right time in his administration to start thinking about stuff like this anyway.

Why such a huge building for one book and a couple of clipboards?

Putting it on a former steel works site seems quite appropriate.

Yeah, I’m sure you’re going to be among the first to camp out, waiting for it to open.

I used to work there. Sad to see it turned over to the communists.

The adjacent neighborhoods are where Obama once worked as a community organizer

All you need to know.

Nah.

I just like it. It seems appropriate. It’s on southern Lake Michigan in sight of downtown Chicago, which is Obama country.

It’s appropriate.

Seems to me a house or mirrors would be most appropriate.

Actually, if it HAS to be on the South Side, 79th is a good choice. I was afraid it was going to go near the Point at 55th, in front of my old dormitory, the Shoreland.

Seventy-Ninth is close to the Skyway, AND is near a White Castle, the Land of Moo and Oink butchers, and I believe a Leon’s BBQ. It might help the area crime rate a bit.

Maybe a caddyshack would be more appropriate.
