The Obama Foundation has pushed back the groundbreaking date for the Obama Presidential Center after the federal review process was delayed for a second time this summer, officials confirmed Friday.
Instead of starting construction later this year, the foundation is now saying they plan to break ground for the half-billion-dollar project sometime in 2019. Officials avoided setting a specific date during the year. They also would not say if this will change their timeline for building the center, which was once slated to open in 2021.
The federal review process has to be conducted because of Jackson Park’s historic status and because it involved closing and expanding major streets.

Better yet, put it off until the Tricentennial so we can see if he really deserves one.

They're hoping the Dems take Congress, then they can ratchet up the bribes and kickbacks.

Obama lied to the city of Chicago, claiming this would be a presidential library. The official archives will be kept elsewhere, probably hidden.

This too funny, that there is controversy about the Obama thing in Chicago, where theoretically they love Obama.

What are the sbliminal messages hidden in those jumbled letters on the Great Mosque Of Obama?
Is there an "Allāhu-Akbar" or two hiding in there somewhere?

Prediction: The Obama Temple will not get built. It is extremely expensive, and there are enough people, even in Chicago, who are protesting its cost and destruction to Jackson Park, to delay its start. Given also that Illinois is on the verge of bankruptcy, even in a fantastic national economy - one slight blip in the economy will sink the project.
