Obamas criticized for lavish library plans, including 'test kitchen'

In their effort to break the mold, the planners of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are taking heat for some less-than-lofty features in the sprawling complex.

Namely, a “test kitchen.”

Reports first surfaced last fall that the monument to the first black president’s legacy was taking on an activity-center vibe. There would be a museum – but also a basketball court, possibly a room for yoga classes, and a test kitchen to teach visitors “about the full production cycle of nutritious food.”

Very nice. It should be located in Kenya or possibly Indonesia.

For politicians there is an endless supply of taxpayer dollars, apparently.

I have to believe it is. I discovered it in an image search long ago.

How much tax payer money will be used on the Obama library?

The Kenyanesian Usurpation should be memorialized with an outhouse.

Actually, a bathhouse would be more accurate.

Obama described the lavish library as “more like a campus,” with plans to
position it as a “premier institution for training young people in leadership.”

Not with my tax dollars it wont. Better change your plans, parasite.

He's not calling it a library....its the Barack Obama Presidential Center.

Looks like an oversized dried grass hut in Kenya.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

EVERYONE in the District of Corruption (Trump excepted) is complicit.

Curious lack of windows in the top half of the larger building.

Recently I saw a list of presidential IQ's. And the one thing I noticed was that Obama did not make the list because they only showed the presidents who had an IQ of 120 and over.

All the other presidents made the list though.

So yeah, it can't be a library, but it will be a center so that all the people who voted for him can breathe his air.
