CHICAGO — Barack Obama has seen presidential libraries. Sometimes they are a monument to the past, he said, standing on stage in an auditorium on Wednesday; a record of accomplishments. “And a little bit of an ego trip,” he added. “‘See what I did.’”

That’s not what a Presidential Library is - as usual O can’t do anything right. Making a POTUS library the new structural Clinton Foundation, what could go wrong?

So was Red Square.

Given that a) Obama has not resided in Chicago since at least 2009 and b) he will reside in Washington DC a go-forward basis exactly which ‘community’ is he referring to and why has and will he be absent from said community?

Hey,Barry...better declare a “gun free zone” within a twenty mile radius of your “library”...otherwise you might not have many brothas or sistahs visiting!

That's a good question.I'm not sure *who* funds a Presidential Library.My gut tells me that the law forbids public funds being used but I could be wrong.I certainly *hope* that taxpayer funds are forbidden.

The proud Obama Store in Columbia, South Carolina, is featured weekly on Live PD. It's a hub of criminal activity.

From the "archives.gov" website:

"How is a Presidential Library paid for and funded?

A Presidential Library is constructed with private or non-Federal funds donated to non-profit organizations established usually for the express purpose of building a Presidential Library and supporting its programs.

Some Libraries have also received construction and development funding from state and/or local governments.

The Library is then transferred to the Federal government and operated and maintained by NARA through its congressionally appropriated operating budget."

Ah, yes, the “community” again. Heavy on the “comm” and low on the “unity.”
