9Obamas to Visit Chicago to Discuss Planned Library, Museum

May 03, 2017 07:52 AM

Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will visit Chicago for a community meeting to discuss their planned library and museum.

The Obamas plan to host a round table discussion Wednesday to "update the community" on the progress of the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side. The Obamas are also expected to hear from community members on their ideas for the library.

The project is expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars



And the arrogance continues.
Opening something named after yourself let alone costing millions of dollars.

Unless his book deal of over $60 million is paying for it and not the taxpayers?

Don't all Presidents get a 'library'.....that's his library.

The money is raised privately.

Trump may very well have a similar building one day.

I think they are ignorant. They have never paid attention before that usually that is the first project of most departing Presidents lately.

That's okay -- we can help them out and keep them informed -- as much as they will listen -- lol.

Every former President since FDR raises private funds for their namesake library/ museum and the Federal Government maintains it.

Each library charges an admission fee to offset costs.

I think your leader says it best.

I do not think ANY president should get their own library.

I posted about Obama getting one, because this is happening now.

If President Trump were too, I would speak out against it also.

I don't think posts can get any more uninformed than this one?

I bet they would prefer some fast food joints or other places that have JOBS. A building that 99.9% of the local residents will never set foot in is a waste of real estate.
