Well, it’s certainly a good thing that Chiraq and the Ill State have all sorts of budget surpluses to handle this.
Good grief.
Where does the Constitution authorize the feds to erect these shrines?
Sometime or sooner the American People need to WAKE UP and see that God is our Protector and Provider and man’s Government is our servant limited by the Constitution.
I think the center can be financed from the state employee pension fund surplus.

Couldn’t the Messiah pay for it himself with some of the money he pocketed from TARP, the DOJ lawsuits, the missing DOS billions, the missing HUD billions, the Solyndra kickbacks, and other forms of “redistribution”?

“Money well wasted.”
Especially when parking an outhouse on the property would be all the “structure” that would be needed to display Obola’s “P-residential Papers,” all of which are “inscribed” on a single roll of single layer toilet tissue.
And the original rumor of it being 0bama’s presidential library with his records is NOT true by his foundation’s own announcement:
The Obama Foundation announced several months ago that the National Archives and Records Administration would not be in charge of the proposed site on designated historic parkland, adding that the center would not function as a presidential library to house records, manuscripts, and papers from the Obama White House.
I think Barry is getting an almighty kick out of paving over The White City...
Refund it.
There should be no center. He betrayed this country.
Does that include the skim and kickbacks? /not rhetorical
