Obama's Presidential Library Won't Actually Have Library Materials
Townhall ^ | Oct 9, 2017 | Leah Barkoukis

Unlike traditional presidential libraries, the Obama Presidential Center will not actually have library materials. That is—it will not house former President Obama’s manuscripts, documents, letters, and gifts from his tenure in office—items presidential centers around the country all have.

Instead, it will include space for outdoor functions and picnics, a basketball court, recording studio, sledding hill, children’s play garden, and more.

As for the actual library documents, the center will rely online archives for Obama’s presidential materials as a way to avoid meeting federal standards in construction, raising money for an endowment, and paying the National Archives and Records Administration to run the facility.

...

“Here’s how it will be attractive: through the forums, workshops and programs they conduct,” James Rutherford, the dean of the William J. Clinton School of Public Service, told the Chicago Tribune. “They can host conferences with administration officials, discussions on how Obama approached health care, how he developed the DACA executive order. That’s how the center will become a research institution.”

There is the PROOF about Michelle’s hair. I knew all along that she wore wigs. Too many different styles of hair that didn’t reflect a person growing out a head of hair.

She has always had a very short cut—almost that ‘nappy head of hair’ talked about on the radio.

I had seen one other pic of her deplaning from Marine One helicopter & this was her hair. No one I talked to would believe me.

No regular LIBRARY materials? Is that because most of the people who voted for him can’t read?

The midnight basketball will be followed by a gunfight sponsored by Chicago hoodlums.

What is it about Democrats that they are driven to find ways around laws be they judicial, of nature, or established protocol?

Democrats are the quintessential social misfits, and blame themselves on you, and me. It’s called projection.

Back during Obama’s residency I slipped an Obama silver round into a relatives coin collection.

The “what the f*?” when he found it was priceless.

Library materials...a presidential library normally has library materials. Herbert Hoover’s Presidential Library in West Branch Iowa has a shelf dedicated to my family. And that is a reach, but one of my family was Hoover’s first biographer. Hence the family memorabilia.
