House committee OKs $100 million for Obama library (IL)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 4/17/2014 | John Byrne

Posted on 04/17/2014 2:14:15 PM PDT by mojito

An Illinois House committee endorsed a plan today to contribute $100 million in state funds toward construction of a Barack Obama presidential library in Chicago.

The proposal, pushed by House Speaker Michael Madigan, goes to the full House next.

Madigan said it's appropriate for Illinois to commit public funds for the library even though the state is grappling with serious financial problems.

At the Obama Library you will be able to visit the Reverend Wright wing, the Tony Rezko wing, and the William Ayers writer's room. The special Louis Farakhan exhibit is expected to be one of the highlights.

You can stick everything he’s said and did on an MP3 player. Build a box around it and have a red button on the outside to play it. Should last about a half-hour. Maybe.

I'm hoping there will be a special interactive exhibit of all his Barryness’ speeches on an MP3, just like the one he gave Elizabeth II.

The centerpiece of the library should be a teleprompter.

Meanwhile, our betters in the Kingdom of Chicago tell us the ‘temporary’ (Believe that?) state income tax needs to be made permanent. Or even better, be morphed into a regulatory monster like the Fedzilla version in order to ensure that the ‘rich’ pay their fair share.

IL was $7B in debt. The ‘temporary’ tax increase reportedly brought in $5B of which only $2B was spent on the debt it was passed to pay off. Nobody is certain where the remaining $5B went, but a lot of downstate fingers sure are pointing to the north to the Kingdom on the Lake.

So we remain $5B in debt but now must pony up $100M to build a shrine to a president most outside of the Kingdom did not vote for? FRiends, only in IL.

That is so exciting for IL that they have $100 million extra laying around, to use for this project! The state must be having a miraculous economic recovery!

It might be the first library that spins. One day a red line. Next day, no red line. One day against gay marriage. Next day, for it. One day for a reset of relations with Russia. Next day, Russians are Nazis.

I like it, but lets throw in a golf course? And a mancave for watching ESPN? Call it the Reggie Love wing?

Here's one book you won't find in Obama's library:

Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?

"The biggest untold story of the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election... Finally, the no-holds-barred, 100% true story of Barack Obama's use and sale of cocaine; his homosexual affairs and the December 23, 2007 murder of Barack Obama's former lover and choir director of Obama's Chicago church of 20 years, Donald Young, just days before the 2008 Iowa Caucus.

This searing candid story begins with Barack Obama meeting Larry Sinclair in November, 1999, and subsequently procuring and selling cocaine, and then engaging in consensual, homosexual sex with Sinclair on November 6th and again on November 7, 1999."

I thought he might want to have it built in his home town.
