Former President Barack Obama has defended the location of his $500 million Presidential Center in Chicago, saying he’s “absolutely confident” it will benefit the community – amid complaints from locals that it will destroy a historic park and lead to gentrification.
Following five years of legal battles, a federal review and gentrification concerns, Barack and Michelle Obama are expected to attend a celebratory groundbreaking Tuesday at the construction site of the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side.
In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America on the eve of the groundbreaking, Obama dismissed the criticism of his legacy project, including multiple legal attempts to block construction.

The shrine to treason. The Maobama LIEbrary
Obama’s right.
It’s a beautiful setting, easily and safely accessible to all people. And it’ll benefit the surrounding communities.
The short-sighted people living in Hyde Park and the Stony Island area - who fight everything for the sheer entertainment value of fighting - need to give it up and back the Presidential Library.
MULTIPLE TIMES
Obama Presidential Center should be a crater to show all the damage he did.
One day Obamas tribute to himself will be destroyed by angry mobs of starving people when they realize he is responsible for making us all slaves of communism.
He thinks his giant museum will be here forever, but it will be destroyed just like his foot soldiers have destroyed our history.
It’s WHITE!!!! Obama is a whitey wanna be.
ONCE a stupid f’n jackass.... ALWAYS a stupid f’n jackass!!
Can we call it a Temple where all in the world can come and worship the omnipotent Barrack Hussein Obama. Heil to the Chief!!!
“It’s not actually a Library, is it? Not a repository of documents related to his administration?”
Well, you see, it’s kind of hard to have a Presidential Library while still keeping all your records sealed from public view.
It will s known as the “Worship Obama Center”.
I thought it was just going to have invitations, photos and a selfie stick.
No solar panels and windmills to make it carbon free?
A shrine to the muslim homosexual from Kenya, right in the center of ghetto Chicago.
Truly a case of sh!t wrapped up in garbage.
Special.
Will all visitors be required to bring their own prayer rug and remove their shoes when they enter?
And will the tower be tall enough to provide a ceremonial place to toss homosexuals off the roof?
Wow — those images certainly explain the opposition to this project.
Apparently it is not that accessible by public transportation, and not very near to people who might actually need jobs. Both of these were supposed goals of the project.
It could have been placed at the end of the park, where it would have filled those goals.
Instead, they are building a gigantic parking lot underneath, since people will have to drive.
It’s been close to 60 years since I lived in Chicago’s Hyde Park. Sometimes I’d have lunch in that park - sitting on the grass debating the day’s issues with friends. Saul Alinsky had a place on Stony Island a few storefronts down from a drug store on the corner. I found it peaceful...
