On the promotional trail for his new memoir “A Promised Land,” former President Barack Obama sat down with “60 Minutes” for an interview that aired Sunday. (Snip) Through private donations, the Obama Foundation has raised more than half of the estimated $500 million cost for the project, but that price tag doesn’t include infrastructure improvements that will be paid for by taxpayers. Due to a lengthy federal review process and pending litigation related to the Jackson Park location, the center has yet to break ground.

If and when it actually gets built, what will they fill it with? There's nothing in existence (papers, certificates, diplomas, letters, photographs, etc) from his growing up years all through college/law school.

The easiest way for him to beautify Jackson Park is to never go there. And keep the moose out, too.

Ah, the Lost Art of Syntax at work in that headline. Although...perhaps it's true. The only work 0 will do to beautify Jackson Park IS during the 60 minutes interview; i.e. flapping his purple lips.

Not much you can do to beautify an outhouse...maybe decorate the outside with book covers from all of his 'memoris'...

Only B.O. could boast about beautifying Jackson Park. It was only designed from swampland by Frederick Law Olmsted, perhaps the greatest landscape artist ever to work in the United States. Daniel Burnham said of Olmsted "He paints with lakes and wooded slopes; with lawns and banks and forest-covered hills; with mountainsides and ocean views ..."
Jackson Park belongs to the people of Chicago. For some reason this creature was "given" the property by his buddy Rahm. The building is hideous, sitting right on the lakefront.
The Obama "Presidential" library was originally slated for the crumbling ruins of the south side. They promised black businesses an "opportunity zone, were they could open a business and take advantage of the tourism (gak) the "library" would generate. Of course he screwed his adoring fans again by going with the park property which is landlocked. There is no room for any new businesses. It's also no "library" just a glorified community center.
I will not survive another four years if this phony is front and center again. Pray for Sidney Powell and the team. SCOTUS must protect the integrity of our elections and save this Great Representative Republic!

What documents does he have that he would want to make public? I assume there would be a huge amount of redaction needed in order to hide all the treason he committed rendering those documents useless.
So then why does he need a Center simply to house a list of golf scores and a basketball? A niche or a shadowbox would suffice.

Ha! Four years and the braying jackass couldn't even get a shovel full of dirt moved. Donald Trump built a wall across Texas. If he wants to beautify Jackson Park he should plant some trees and flowers.

I know, he could transport the exhibits from the African American History Museum in Washington to his new library. Three exhibits per floor for six floors, that could fill the janitor's closet if they spaced them out right.

If it ever gets built they will need to hire a full time crew to scrub the gang graffiti off the building every morning. And to patch up the bullet holes from the latest drive-bys.
