Work related to Obama Presidential Center to cost Illinois taxpayers nearly $200 million
Fox News ^ | 6-16-18 (8 hours ago) | Adam Shaw

The Center still has a series of approval steps to go through, including a federal review, but has also faced a lawsuit by Protect Our Parks, which alleged that the city was engaging in a “short con shell game” to get the 12-story museum and library built on parkland.

The lawsuit argued that while the purpose of transferring the land was to house the official Obama presidential library, the center will not include his presidential papers, only a digital copy.

"Defendants have chosen to deal with it in a classic Chicago political way, known as a short con shell game, a corrupt scheme to deceive and seemingly legitimize an illegal land grab, one that will endure for centuries to come, regardless of future changing public park needs and increasingly consequential environmental conditions,” the lawsuit said.

But the Obama Foundation and Chicago officials have pushed back on that narrative, saying that the center will be an enormous benefit to the local community.

He’s actually still President as far as the Federal Apparatchik and “Judiciary” are concerned.

So what’s left of the Obama administration to put into this so-called “library”? The national archivist says many (and maybe most) records are mysteriously missing.

Donald Trump has undone most of what Obama calls his “legacy”.

Perhaps all that’s left is a gay wedding chapel and Big Mike’s jock strap.

It’s not like Illinois has a pension problem or anything.

Due to joint custody of her child, my daughter will be forced to live in that corrupt state for the next several years. Drives her nuts, but she has to make the best of it. She used to be a liberal; “not anymore, Mom. Taxes are eating me alive, thanks to democrats. I keep making more money, but I’m still swimming in the same end of the pool; they just keep hiking taxes”. It’s California, without the sun and surf.

He will make up his presidency in e-format. There is nothing real about him, so the evidence he exists is not there.

Electronic illusion is possible, just look at the crap on TV.

Good part about that? e-format data can be totally erased.
