Many records contained in his library would be lies while the remaing few would be written with disappearing ink.

I mean come on who wants to visit a library at the lowest level of a slimy sewer anyway.

Will the library include all the textbooks that Obama never once cracked open?

In Illinois, Tax Increases Become an Article of Faith
WSJ On-line ^ | April 25, 2014 | Heather Wilhelm

Posted by Pontiac

Donning orange T-shirts reading “Faith in Action,” a coalition of religious groups flooded the state capitol in Springfield, singing hymns, shouting “Hallelujah,” and praying for higher taxes on the rich. Their goal: replacing the state’s long-standing flat income tax with a new, progressive “Fair Tax.”

Snip

When asked whether additional tax revenue would really be used to help the poor, supporters like Rev. Hawking and Rev. Coulter tend to change the subject. When asked whether a progressive tax might backfire by driving wealth and jobs out of Illinois, both doubted anyone would leave. Besides, Rev. Hawking told me, “minimum wage earners,” not the wealthy, “are the real job creators.” The numbers, which show Illinois ranking second in the nation in outbound moves and losing more than $30 billion in adjusted gross income between 1992 and 2010, suggest otherwise.

Snip

“These are people who put their faith in government to do what communities and churches should be doing,” Mr. Greenberg said. “There’s just this strange faith in government in general—which, as the corrupt and incompetent government in Illinois clearly demonstrates, is a seriously flawed faith.” Brian Burch, the president of Catholic Vote, an Illinois advocacy group, put it another way: “They’re substituting the state for God.”

“What they did last week was under-handed and sneaky and offers further proof that they no longer can be trusted with taxpayer money,” said House Republican Leader Jim Durkin.

I hope he was suppressing a belly laugh when he said that. Because that is downright funny. I don’t care who you are.

I think it has been at least 150 years since an Illinois Democrat could be trusted with tax payer’s money.

Those Constitutional Law books sure would look good in the display case still in their shrink wrap.

Interesting way to govern. Could we maybe impeach El-Presidente, hold 3 votes in each house, throw out the no votes and total the yes votes to gain a conviction?

Ok, yes I know this was just IL, but I can dream can’t I? I still can, can’t I? Big Brother hasn’t made that illegal yet has he?

On the price tag though, how much does it cost to put up a stone wall? That is all you need to sum up his time in office.

100 million dollar library. Mr. Steyer is offering 100 million for environmental policies by the administration. Obama kills keystone.

I bet that 100 million for the library turns up.

Wherever the library is, the birth certificate should be posted right where you walk in.

Illinois Democrats are backing off an effort to give $100 million .... and nasty Chicago-style politics, not to mention the state’s dire financial situation.

Heck, they should look to spend that $100 million on more cops to stop the shootings in Chicago.
