      It looks like an ad for an “Entrepreneurship” motivational talk about why you should buy gold.

      (Why is his image cropped to the curve and then misaligned to stick over it?)

        I hadn’t noticed. Who is making this announcement, the federal government? Did they do a shitty job on purpose?

    I didn’t realize the monstrosity cost $850 to build. Note - the source is the NY Post.

    Obama Presidential Center wants 100 unpaid volunteers — while CEO Valerie Jarrett makes $740K

    Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024… the $850 million Obama Presidential Center

    The “unpaid volunteers” stuff is just rightwing screeching. Lower in the article…

    It’s common for presidential libraries, museums and nonprofit cultural institutions to employ unpaid volunteers.

      Typical Obama.

        It’s unlikely as science fiction but imagine if Obama gave himself only ~3 stories and all the rest of $850 million of the building was public housing. Liberals would be so angry, so confused, and so hurt that their guy didn’t spend that ~$1 billion to show the glories of liberalism. How dare he!

    It looks like a Norwegian Prison. Are they also going to display his favorite Reaper drone outside a la Kennedy Space Center?

    Who fucking cares? I’ve never been to a Presidential Library, and have never even considered it. If I was on vacation, and someone said, “Hey, there’s a presidential library here, wanna go?” I wouldn’t even ask which president, I’d just say No. There isn’t one president for whom I’d trade an afternoon on the beach or in a good art museum, to see propaganda about him, I don’t care who he is.

        No it’s not, it’s just a museum dedicated to their administration, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just don’t give a shit. In my entire life, the best any president could do was approach mediocrity, but they couldn’t even manage that. They’ve all sucked. I could tell you which were the worst, but nobody is the best. You have to go back to Eisenhower to find a decent president who actually respected the true job of the president.

          In this case the “Obama Presidential Center” also includes a public library, arts center, sports facilities and a few other things as well as park landscaping around it. It was to make it feel less like a waste of money but with cost overruns out of control it was no use. There’s also worries of gentrification in the South Side, which the Obama Foundation declined to take measures against.

      I grew up in a city with one, and the only time I went was for a private event held in the conference-center.

      WTF would I want to go to a museum dedicated to some of the worst people in the US?
