In their effort to break the mold, the planners of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are taking heat for some less-than-lofty features in the sprawling complex.

Namely, a “test kitchen.”

Reports first surfaced last fall that the monument to the first black president’s legacy was taking on an activity-center vibe. There would be a museum – but also a basketball court, possibly a room for yoga classes, and a test kitchen to teach visitors “about the full production cycle of nutritious food.”

What would this chucklehead know about leadership?

Basketball court??? I’ve seen the dude shoot. It’s a waste of money.

[Uncle Miltie]

Minarets to come.

[WayneS]

A monument to arrogance, hubris and divisiveness.

[Salamander]

Wow.

That’s really....white.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Kenyanesian Usurpation should be memorialized with an outhouse.

And there will be NO paper documents—all digital.

Which means for research they are useless.

Kind of like Obama.

[Political Junkie Too]

But no actual... you know... documents.

Test kitchen?

Now if it had been Hitlery, we know she does not sit around baking cookies so they installed a massage parlour in Bubba's libary

[Ann Archy]

KING OBAMA needs this PALACE!!! Marie Antoinette has NOTHING on the Obamas!!

Even an Oversized TRAILER was good enough for BJ Clinton!!

[Cowboy Bob]

Is that a 4-hole Putt-Putt golf course on the roof?

[jmcenanly]

The main building looks like someone cut down the Washington Monument and off that as a stump

[DannyTN]

Where else are you going to put the meth lab?

Of course it needs a test kitchen.
