A judge nominated by former President Obama rendered a decision Tuesday that he won’t like. A lawsuit by an advocacy group known as Protect Our Parks can go forward. They are trying to block his presidential library in Chicago.
The Associated Press reports that U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey ruled Tuesday that a lawsuit from an advocacy group accusing the city of illegally transferring public land to a private entity would not be dismissed.
The Hill reported a similar lawsuit stopped Star Wars’ George Lucas from building a museum on public land.
IT’S A CON GAME
The lawsuit by Protect Our Parks alleged that the city was engaged in a “short con shell game” to get the 12-story museum and library built on parkland.
“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.
The Obama Foundation also promised no major changes to the park but they are not following through on that. They are ripping down trees and making fundamental changes to the park. Obama likes to fundamentally transform things.
The Obama Library/Center — which won’t hold books — was to be funded by private money. Did anyone really believe that?
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Obama Center will receive at least $174 million from Illinois taxpayers for roadway and transit re-configurations.

Barry’s Bunker
EVERYTHING about the guy is fake. It’s kind of amazing.
The Obama presidential liebrary rightfully belongs in his home country, and it ain’t the U.S.
The Kenyanesian Usurper should not get any monument to himself.
He should have a monument.
In Kenya.
I think they already have one in Indonesia.
Barry will get his Library- just that certain parties want payoffs first
12 Stories???
LOL!
I am sure that 0bangles has gotten a lot of other hideous things in public parks though.
The eternal monument should be the dark dank cell he spent the rest of his life in after arrest, a fair trial and conviction for fraud and treason .
Chicago needs a good financial crisis and bankruptcy — and soon.
it would punish the corrupt progressives running that city, and squash the Obama temple and malfeasance center forever. A double bonus.
Barry’s Bathhouse Bunker
I heard Obama’s Chicago library was mugged by a couple of Kenyans wearing MAGA hats. Or something like that.
He should have a monument.
In Kenya.
Tell Obama to take his skinny ass and his wife Michael to Hawaii. They would like him there.
