$1.2 billion to build that place?? Don’t think Amazon dropped that much on building 200 warehouses. And those are at least useful.

Won’t be too long before Obama hears “you didn’t build that”.

If Barry and Big Mike would quit skimming 75% off the top of all donations, the nobama center would be OK.

Lots of taxpayer dollars from the wonderful nation-saving inflation-reduction bill will take care of the financial situation of such an important national treasure very quickly...

It's almost like once you no longer have presidential influence, the donations dry up.
Who would have seen that coming?

So Obama can’t raise the monies needed to fund, build and maintain his Library. This proves just how Lazy he is, he thought the money would roll in and he would not have to actively work to get it.

While I can’t stand Clinton, the guy knew how to work donors and was working to raise money before he even left office and get his built and monies needed to maintain it.

At this rate Obama’s monument to himself may never happen until he gets off his lazy butt and works for it. Where are all his rich Billionaire friends, why are they not anteing up to build a Library to the first Black President????????? Has White Liberal Guilt run it’s course as far as Obama is concerned? Where are the Saudi’s?

There should be some cheap land available next to the sewage treatment plant.

It is Obama’s monument to himself, but they are not even calling it a Library because it won’t be a library, it will contain no books or papers.

It is the Obama Center, centered on Obama.

Just dump all the costs on taxpayers. The fat Gov will spread it around the state.

With the fat governor running for re-election, your FJB yard signs are doubly useful.

For every dollar they raise, eighty cents is stolen and laundered clean as a leftists uterus.

If memory serves, ground was broken not long ago, after ruining a park and a popular public golf course that served Chicago’s south side.

I suspect the cash shortfall was announced after the ruination began.....now it’s too late to move the park west as had been proposed.

Agreed since all Brandon’s is gonna have is Dr Seuss and Curious George books and a couple boxes of crayons.......and a well stocked adult diaper dispenser.

Come on man! Keep up. Dr Seuss has already been declared racis. Besides that, I like your post. Curious George may have been found racis by the time I finish posting mine.

He could mortgage his many mansions (Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii, Kenwood) and kick in the proceeds to make up a good bit of the difference . . .
