Maybe the should just roll in an outhouse and leave it at that. Everything in Obola’s “papers” is $hit anyway and all of it would fit with room to spare.

A multi building complex reaching up to 23 stories on public lake frontage. No shortage of self esteem for president 44.

From the mayor, “ ... I want to use that opportunity to make catalytic change in the trajectory of the quality of life for people in those neighborhoods.” ???? Downhill all the way?

“$500 million Obama Presidential Center”

I’m sure they meant Most High Temple of Obama.
