Great location for the
Obama Presidential Center and Bathhouse.
It should be in Detroit in the burned out neighborhood where houses only cost a dollar.
He lies so easily. $3B in economic activity? That’s an awful lot of money for Obama’s temple to generate. I’d like to see the cooked books that yielded that number
