The Obama Foundation spent nearly $12 million on programming last year, including its star-studded international summit that brought leaders, elected officials and world-renowned activists to a two-day conference in the South Loop, newly released records show.

The foundation also spent about $5 million paying its architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien to design the Obama Presidential Center campus, according to tax documents that were filed Tuesday morning.

I’ll bet that a lot of federal money that was laundered over the obama years will start to turn up here. I wonder what all the programming is about. How to hack voting machines?

Seems like a lot of money for something that most of us have no interest at all in visiting. What is there that they can put in it that hasn’t been kept a secret except all the stuff that he was willing to take credit for,but maybe never actually accomplished?

So why the F is the Ill-Annoy legislature spending even one thin dime on the Long-Legged Mac Daddy’s new hangout?
