I don't know.

A reflecting pool full of algae and peeling paint would have set it off just right.

What a terrific family.

Who wouldn't want the Obamas as neighbors?

Take another look at Hair Fuhrer's taste in office decor, the East Wing, proposed arch and ballroom drawings and Mar a Lago and get back to me.

The Obamas would be fine, if it was just the Obamas.
I wouldn't wish having the Secret Service as neighbors on much of anyone.

The center is WAY over budget. The project completion was well past deadline. It's supposed to have a $74 million endowment and it has $1 million. It's deliberately not a library because big government Obama doesn't want National Archives having any oversight. Locating it on Hyde Park angered a lot of locals. Black contractors have been stiffed on the monies owed and risk bankruptcy. Obama is channeling his inner Trump with that. And to top it off the building is ugly as sin.

All in all a perfect tribute to Obama and his presidency.

None of that changes the fact that the Obama presidential center, the actual subject of this thread, is ugly as fnck.

The current oval office is ugly as fuck.

I've never seen you post a single thing about all of Trump's projects that are costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.

Meanwhile. Obama's presidential library was build completely by donations.

So.

You'll have to excuse me if I couldn't give a shit about your sudden concern for costs.

It's actually quite miraculous.

But I'm not looking at it through the lens of hate.

Thanks for sharing "your" opinion.

(I put your quotes because I'm sure you're simply repeating what others have told you to think.)

I think what MAGAts absolutely cannot tolerate is that the dedicated public space at Obama's presidential library includes a ... playgroumd!?! Surely MAGAJeebus can decree that the tykes' swings be locked up on Sundays, at least.

It also has a library.

Which has been proven to scare conservatives

Well...Trumps won't be able to have that with all the restraining orders that the pedophiles in the GOP have in place.

But no gold plated Arab airplane.

It looks like a grocery store trash can. Which is perfect for Obama.

Nothing I said was a complaint. I think it's hilarious that it came in way over budget. So on point for Obama.

Alas, no former president accepted a bribe plane.

It seems like Trump being the first president up for sale is a big hit for conservatives.

Edited for accuracy.

You should get checked for Alzheimer's.

At your age, forgetting what you posted a few minutes ago should be concerning to you and any family you may have.

"Barack Obama's Presidential Center Opens With A Message"

The message in this thread is racism from White Republicans.
