CHICAGO People who live in Chicago know a few things to be true about their city. Winters are brutal. The architecture is first-rate. The Cubs will lose.
In the last few years, they have confidently added another: The Barack Obama Presidential Library will be built here, Mr. Obamas adopted hometown.
But as the Obamas and their foundation near a decision on the location of the library after narrowing the options down to Hawaii, Chicago and New York City someone in their camp recently let it slip that they are not so pleased with Chicagos bids.

Mecca sounds good. But put it there before we turn it into a sheet of glass.

Sure, Hawaii-—with a beach out front, a golf course out back and an active volcano to the side.

Gee, and I was hoping for South Chicago, the area where Obama’s children fire rifles at (to use the Messiah’s words)
Kaminsky Park. That’s always been a war zone - it’s a perfect place to put the memorial library for this clown who is a hero for far left liberals only. If a few white liberals get blown away visiting, I won’t cry.

I like the portable library they already built - it's filled with Obama's legacy:

It ain’t gonna be Columbia in NY. We still do not know what Obama did there and how he received his aid. Probably not a good idea to open that Pandora’s box.

Bikini Island? Would you want to see FLOTUS in a bikini? Siberiais where it should be...or the ISS...
Coolidge's library is at the Northampton Public Library.
