The Obama Presidential Center has taken plenty of heat, mostly because it’s one of the ugliest buildings humanity has ever produced. Soviet architects would be in awe of the brutalist, menacing design of the $850 million ode to the 44th president. But what some have termed a “Klingon prison”
just got weirder and, if possible, less attractive with the addition of
a colossal display on its sides with words from the former president’s
2015 speech in Selma, Alabama. It might be inspiring — if you could
actually read it: “Not the ideal design.” Well, that’s certainly a contestant for understatement of the year. “I gave up after developing a headache three lines from the top,” one commenter noted. It’s not
a traditional presidential library — the physical archives won’t even
be stored there, as is usually the case. Instead, the National Archives
will manage them off-site and make digital versions available to the
public. Its real purpose is to act as some sort of monumental community
organizing project.
The Obama Foundation, whose CEO is the infamous Valerie Jarrett, funds and will run the campus, which will sport a regulation basketball court, a museum, a life-size replica of the Oval Office, podcast/recording studios, a “Democracy in Action Lab,” and more. There will be an actual library on site, a 5,000-square-foot branch of the Chicago Public Library, which will be topped by the Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit and Vegetable Garden. Their website bills the place as “A Global Center for Change.” Why? I like America the way it is. What exactly do you want to change? It’s a rhetorical question; we all know that he wants to change into a woke bastion of liberalism.

This post is pretty epic: The Center is slated to open in June. In the meantime, every time you look at it, it gets uglier. Khrushchev would be proud. Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda. |
