That was damn funny...

I sure thought there would be at least one pyramid, and a miniature golf course. Maybe a big hole in the ground would be more appropriate, though.

Doing what exactly?

Parking Valets, Security, against the the SS of Chicago residents, Community organizer's and Radicals meeting/office place.

Another Liberal monument to stupidity.

Kinda like affirmative action, the "Great Society" and socialism?

They consider that to be a "global destination"? Yeah, right.

Like that one guy said..."it will be a place for Oprah to hang out".

Retailing choom to the masses. “Obama’s Buds” - straight from Maui, hits yo head like kablowie

Makes sense in that you can't go there yourself.
Does it acknowledge the Chicago Stockyards and how the tradition of that killing field continues?

Some of the other considered designs.

So which of these sarcophagi did he choose?

The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end......highness...

Wouldn’t an Obama Putt-Putt golf course be more fitting?

It seems to properly reflect his useless presidency and legacy of incompetence.

I'm thinking a drive-by-shooting simulation would give visitors a real sense of what the area has to offer.

Is that money into the community or government subsidies laundered to Braack and pals?

Fancy observation decks to watch the car-jackings and drive-bys? Will Braack have his boys listening to the ladies rooms and such? And steam baths in there when Braack wants to unwind with "friends"?

“The Obama Presidential Center will be a global community center, a place of life and vibrancy that showcases the South Side to the world,” Martin H. Nesbitt, foundation board chairman, said in a statement.

So blocks of empty storefronts and syringes?

"The center has encountered controversy amid reports that the center would take on an activity-center vibe including a basketball court......"

You can't make this stuff up.

The test kitchen is for Michele to fry her twinkies on a moments notice.
