Republicans have often criticized President Barack Obama as a wasteful leader.
When Obama announced the plans to build his presidential library in Chicago, even his most outspoken critics were shocked by his plans — and they’ve started sounding the alarm.
The president has announced that he’s seeking to raise an eye-popping $1 billion in outside donations for this project. To put that number in context, consider that President Ronald Reagan raised just $52 million for his library.
In fact, with this huge price tag, the Obama library — by itself — will cost approximately the same amount as every single presidential library since FDR combined.
This isn’t a library, as much as Obama’s personal testimony to his greatness.
What has critics concerned is the potential for political favors being traded for funds. Raising that kind of capital isn’t easy. And in the smoke-filled backrooms of Washington, D.C., huge donations most often come with a price.
“There’s a significant problem here,” Daniel Schuman, Policy Counsel for the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit group which advocates greater government openness, told NBC News. “Donations to presidential libraries are kind of the wild, wild west of influence.” Schuman continued, “Presidents often start raising money for these libraries while they’re still in office, usually two or three years before they leave office, and money can come from anywhere — from foreign governments, from foreign officials, from lobbyists, from anywhere.”
Schuman added, “You can give millions and millions of dollars to someone who is currently in office to create a mausoleum, and we will never know that a donation has been made.”
Obama wouldn’t be the first Democratic president to come under scrutiny for their fundraising while in office. “During Bill Clinton’s presidency, songwriter and Democratic donor Denise Rich pledged $450,000 to the building of the Clinton library. In his final hours in office, Clinton issued a pardon to Rich’s ex-husband, fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich, who had fled to Switzerland in 1983 before being indicted on fraud and tax evasion charges,” according to NBC News. “Lawmakers from both parties condemned the Rich pardon, with Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., saying it ‘makes a mockery’ of the U.S. justice system.”
Even Obama’s hometown paper is wary of the plan. “The thoughtful, scholarly study of the presidency is important. So, too, is the celebration of a president by the community or state that launched his or her career. But $1 billion edifices are not just too expensive, they also stand in conflict with the very idea of citizen leaders,” writes Dan McGinn in The Chicago Tribune.
“The next president should pledge that he or she will not build a bricks-and-mortar library. Instead, he or she should create the first totally virtual library. The critical objectives of scholarship and transparency, as promoted by Roosevelt and Truman, would still be honored. But the unseemly and irresponsible shilling by former presidents would come to an end,” McGinn says.

Here in Boston millions of tax dollars were spent on the Ted Kennedy Museum. I think that the old Oldsmobile plant in Lansing, MI would have been more appropriate. These folks build monuments to themselves with our tax dollars. Just like the Pharos and Caesars of ancient times. No homeless shelters, elder care or veterans homes in their names.
All they really care about are themselves. They go into politics
for power and money. What does Obama plan on putting in his
library ??? Obama has a terrible legacy, the worst of any president.
In my opinion let the people that love him pay for his library. I say
good bye and good riddance.
Obama’s legacy could be put on a disk and mailed to each home for less than his pyramid to greatness that this phony wants erected to his idocy, open all the locked files on him before allowing one dime to be spent on this affermative action loser.
Make it turd shaped and I will contribute.
LOL
LOL
Me to, but I want a flush handle on the side of the building/
For sure, is Obama out of his Frickin mind?
His library should be the Chicago Detention Center with him in it.
How bout an ass and the hole is the door you walk thru
I have to agree with the American Citizen. And I might add, the monument should be paid for by those that love the Commander in Chief Mushead Muslim, the want-ah-be Mushead Mohammad we often hear about from the Mushead Muslims in America. I agree with the American Citizen. Mushead Muhammad is truly a cult leader that got away with being a pedophile, murderer, war monger and was one of the first to promote slavery. There are all varieties of individual musheads that can’t fit in with the majority of human beings, they lack the confidence and the abilities to enjoy God’s wonderful world. They envy the infidels for their appreciation of their quality of life. Mushead Muhammad’s cult can not be comfortable with the truth about themselves. Musheads are a defective culture that will not assimilate or change to improve their mentally ill ways. CAIR is just another extension of Mushead Muhammad. God made all men with a free spirit with the ability to choose there way through life.
A prison cell without a toilet, that way he can shit on himself, rather than on us, as he’s been doing for the last eight years. There has to be a way to put this traitor prick on ice for a couple lifetimes, and his entire cabal, with him.
Make the monument a big A$$ Hole with the usurpers face coming out of it (as the turd).
I think one of the portable fiberglass outhouses would be more than he should have.
Save govt money.
Don’t send one to me.
Everyone seems to be complaining about this self centered, egotistical man but just remember we the people knew what he was capable of doing and how he managed to get our country into the worst shape it has ever been in, but just remember that those same people who saw what was going on managed to vote him into office, not once but twice. So what does that say about our intellengence? and I’m willing to bet that this man succeeds in raising the money he wants because peoplle are crazy. I’m 79 years of age and have seen much in my lifetime and it just amazes me to see how we make the same mistakes over and over again. I have always been proud to be an american and love our country but at this point if I were able to financially, I would get the hell out of here.
Hey Elaine,
Don’t you dare put us all in the same group with his douchbag supporters. They can pay for it. I and many other true AMERICANS don’t support this POS so don’t put us all in his group.
Let him get the billion IF he will put it against the national debt.
I agree with Elaine. I’ve been astounded at the number of people who have voted Obama in office. TWICE.
We have a church on just about EVERY CORNER OF THE U.S.A. How on EARTH did he manage to get the votes, does NO ONE read their Bible? Does no one do their research? Does no one have family values?
It sickens me. And I’m ashamed of this false sense of Christianity that people embrace. God is powerful. We would be SHOCKED by what could take place if each professed Christian actually LIVED God’s standards and walked the talk.
But too many people fear the opinion of others. Too many people are afraid to take a stand. Too many people will be turned away by God in the end, because their Faith wasn’t the real deal.
So, Yes, Elaine, I know how you feel.
Hard to say it he could fill a disc. But a statue. Give my a break. The worst president in history wants a statue for the pigeons to poop on.
Deb,
You can get a lot of info on a disc. His accomplishments can be put on a postage stamp. His mistakes, attempts at changing history, obstruction and HIDING ‘the most transparent presidency’, not to mention the hundreds of lies he’s told the American people, could fill several discs. What he deserves is a $25 dog house filled with what he’s given out the last 7+ years — a TON OF BS!
He needs a two holer with his office at the bottom……
Why don’t we build a fenced in dog run and put him in it and feed him three times a day? Oh, and a porta-potty in the corner.
Who on earth would go visit memories of what he didn’t accomplish?
Marilyn
Marilyn, he accomplished something… he increased the amount of money insurance companies can charge and he forced all of us to buy it. he increased the amount of money utility companies charge and forced citizens to have it or have our homes condemned. he increased the amount of regulations that increase big businesses bottom line and put small businesses out of business. he said he would close Gitmo, ( so he released some of the worse human beings back onto the battlefields to continue their evil plans to put Satan in power) he secured loan after loan even though we can never pay them back.($20 trillion debt) he has given away money one person worked to earn and given it to those who refuse to earn a dime (more on welfare, obama phones, free money, free food, free homes). he gave billions to big companies, said the stimulus was for shovel ready jobs and is now saying that our roads and infrastructures are in desperate need of repair and Congress needs to give him more money to start those shovel ready jobs we already paid for (where di all that money go?). he said he would fundamentally change America and he did by changing the way we behave(more violence, more immorality, more division), the way we treat each other(where once we were more accepting of our differences, now we have black lives matter and not one else does), the way we pray (God is under attack and so are His followers) and the way we think (free speech is under attack and people are afraid to say what they think).our children are under attack from him (parents are being forced to have conversations about sexual perversions at earlier ages now because of insane policies being forced on us by gay and transgender groups) and you know if obama can get it done, our 2nd amendment rights will be thrown out the window too and if hillary gets in, they are gone. I sometimes wonder if extreme left wing liberals who want to do away with the 2nd amendment are not behind all those mass gun shootings. they sure take political advantage of them.
Obama’s legacy could be put on a disk and mailed to each home for less than his pyramid to greatness that this phony wants erected to his idocy, open all the locked files on him before allowing one dime to be spent on this affermative action loser.
Obama sure thinks a lot of himself thinking he is worth a billion dollars screw him and his legacy,he wants to make sure that all the money he can find anywhere that he drains it before he is out
How about a 2 seat outhouse for him and her and a half moon on the door.
The stained blue dress?
Obama should be building his own prison, not a library. And as far as his library goes, I would like to see an original birth certificate. Not a replica or photo copy.
Amen to that.
ILL second that
I would HOPE and PRAY that Obama gets NO MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS. Please consider that the Obamas have
spent OVER: $72,500,000 on vacations and trips (this does not include Obama traveling around the world for meetings, to kiss up to Iran and Russia). I believe that amount should be deducted from whatever this narcissist president gets “legally” for his library. I agree with John (above) Obama should really be financing his own prison.
ALSO: I am positively sure that Obama does not have a legal (not rigged up version) of his REAL birth certificate.
WHY was he not vested? Don’t tell me he was. HOW did he manage that. HOW MANY were paid off or threatened to
get this done? HOW DID HE GET SO MUCH POWER SO QUICKLY. WHO FINANCED ALL THIS WITH GEORGE SORO’S MONEY ALSO? I send my legislators a letter asking why Obama has not been impeached. They had the gall to reply,
we really do not have anything to impeach Obama legally. What about the 60+ laws and rules he has broken, what about all the lies DECEIVING the American public, about the Iran Deal, about every darn word that comes out of his mouth.
I believe this is called: traitor. The penalty for that is not only prison, but possibly “DEATH”…
Pasty,he will he has so many stupid fools out there that has followed him almost his eight years but one thing for sure they will follow him into the depths of hell
He has lied and fabricated just about everything his entire life! No taxpayer/citizen money should be coerced and blackmailed by obsmass for his socalled “library”. If he wants one you know it will be full of lies errors , not any honest reports on his profligate life no birth certificate no school records from kindergarten through law school. And he has no license to practice law it was confiscated/terminated!
I have to agree with Patsy Autry. The problem with this is we have no congress that will use the power of the purse or any other way to discipline this egotistic Mushead Muslim. Mushead Muslim Obama is mentally ill and has many mentally ill followers with money to support Obama’s sick agenda.
Obama has gone against the constitution many times—enough times to be impeached, so that tells me that there is something wrong with our congress. Did Obama promise them something? They certainly did not do their job. No one even knows Obama”s past!! Why are they going after Trump with a vengence about his past and letting our Supreme leader get away with murder?? I’m sure Obama wants Trump gone in the worst way—enough to try just about anything!!! I’m 83 yrs old and I have never seen a president like this one and I have never seen so many people that didn’t even care to do anything about him. Everyone in the US is so wrapped up in their own little life, that Washington could take all their money and they wouldn’t even notice. Don’t you people out there see how corrupt washington is. Congress doesn’t want Trump to get in because he might see all the corruption and all the goodies they voted in for themselves and they don’t want to lose that plus all the power they have. Trump isn’t an insider, but he is what we need at this point. He is at least honest and can see that we have been taken to the cleaners by every other country. I know what this country used to be when I was growing up and it is far from that now. It is CORRUPT, CORRUPT, CORRUPT.. Obama wants 1 trillion dollars for his library. He shouldn’t even get a library!! Everyone knows he is the worst president we have ever had. He is going to do as many nasty things as he can now that he is in his last year. The transgender thing is just the beginning and all you people will just go along with it. I haven’t seen anyone fight back except 2 gov. Whats the matter with all you other gov??
Thank you Janet
I completely agree with you is he nuts? I’m of the belief he should be impeached period. Whatever he does when he is out of office I could care less. Good Ridience fool!
I am in total agreement!!! HE HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST POTUS IN ALL OF HISTORY!!! I say NOT NOT ONE DIME!!! Get rid of that man and his wasteful family. He has screwed us too much for too long!!
I agree, I would not give him a card board box
I agree, let the people that love him pay for his library. I say, good bye and good riddance. He should be IMPEACHED and put in PRISON for LIFE. Let that be his library, that is all he needs as bad as he has treated we the people.
i’m with you prm, don’t want any of my money put out for a lousy president, and lousy he is. worst thing that has ever been in our white house. good bye and good riddance
AMEN!
He will put his tax hikes and black power regulations in it. I have never said this about any Pres. before, but SCREW him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe he will put his birth certificate and college records in.
So be it!
BJ.
A PERVERT out house would be about right for him.
Change Gitmo to Obama mo
I think a museum for Obama belongs in a sewer, that scumbag liar and traitor belongs in Gitmo.
Yeh, let’s put him in a place that was his first project to get rid of.
I didn’t realize a huge hunk of coal would cost $1 BILLION dollars!
This garbage shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. I wouldn’t give a red cent for anything to remember Obummer by, except a stinky garbage dump!
1 billion is to much for a pile of turds
You don’t suppose Obama’s new “library” will look like a mosque do you? I’d be willing to bet the old homestead that it will so any visitors had better wear clean socks because they’ll have to take off their shoes to enter. It might be a good idea to take something like a prayer rug, too.
Like all the rest of you I’ve know some self serving arrogant people but never anyone as impressed with himself as that unmitigated ass, Obama.
Well said.
This man is the most self centered egomaniac we have ever had for president. I can’t wait for him to get the hell out of OUR White House. He can’t leave Washington soon enough. He has been the worst we’ve had in my 68 years!
Perhaps Pelosi will give him some of the taxpayers Stimulus he gave her to build the tourist train in her Vineyard, wasn’t it 548 Million? Surely, the following will ”jump in,” and feel so honored, to be asked, Chris Mathews, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Madow, Harry Reid, Andrea Mitchell, George Clooney, Beyonce, Jayz, Sara Jessica Parker, Gweneth Paltrow, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, George Soros, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Elijah Cummins, who will contruibute for Al Sharpton as well, Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Juan Williams, and all the Obama Loving Liberals at Fox, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, Kanya, Kim, Cher, Sheila Jackson, Cameron (PM of England), the Cumo brothers, Blasio, Iraq, Iran, Norway, Cuba, Katy Perry, all of his Golf Buddies, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Morgan Freeman, Oprah, Sen., Cory, Valerie, Ms Waters, Barbara Boxer, his many friends in Georgetown, Martha’s Vineyard, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, and all the Perverts planning to follow the little girls and boys in he rest rooms, and the list goes on.
Tax dollars are NOT used- each raises own funding!!
Hey Sheila, go play with your free phone and count your food stamps. Be a good little brainless libtard and go lay by your dish!
Maybe not, but we damned sure paid for all those flights on Air Force One PLUS his security when he was flying all over to “fundraisers”, and NOW we know what he was raising funds FOR, he should REIMBURSE us for EVERY SINGLE flight and all the security during the trips!
He should ALSO reimburse us for his SALARY while he was doing all that “fundraising”, because he CERTAINLY was NOT doing his job. In fact, jetting around to fundraisers on OUR DIME and playing golf on OUR DIME are about the ONLY thing he has done since elected–except, you know, for working day and night to undermine, weaken and DESTROY our economy and country!
The arrogance of this guy is astounding. Chicago is appropriate. A billion dollars spent on him while young children are murdered there every week. The drug lords have taken over and their illustrious Mayor does nothing. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Obama are no where in sight. If they ignore the crime and poverty maybe it will go away. A fitting monument to the most do nothing president of all time.
Obama is a sadistic ass. He needs to spend the rest of his life in JAIL!!
A pile of shit would be moe appropriete and at least it could be used as fertlizer someday.This would be worth more than all he has done for America.
We could make a monument for Obama to provide access to Hillary’s e-mails on Bengazi and more; and all aspects of his failed administration, creating, included, a dispute on bathroom, which can be resolved cheap with single user bathrooms. Too expensive? Less that $1 B USD!
What moderation is needed other that do not waste $1 B USD?
if he agrees to leave tomorow
i will donate the full sum of $00.50
to build a shithouse
Osama Obama’s motto….GIVE UNTO OBAMA THAT WHICH IS OBAMAS. He thinks of himself as a Caesar, privileged and better than every one else. He is so full of himself. He’s a narcissistic, ego maniac. His “library” will probably have very few books, but will have large mirrors for him to admire him self from every angle and more pictures of him self for his personal and private gratification.
Well, if he manages to pull this off, they should save a very large section for displaying Obama Quotes such as, “We are no longer a Christian nation.” “Conservatives cling to their Bibles and their guns.” “Public schools must allow males in the girl’s restrooms and locker rooms or I will take their money away!” and “Every business must pay for birth control for their employees.” ” You MUST sign gay ‘marriage’ licenses.” You gotta bake and decorate a cake for lesbians and gays or we’ll fine you BIG TIME.”
Then they should show pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Obama refusing to place their right hand over their heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. And they should show just where they went during the National Days of Prayer, etc.
This would INDEED be a monument. A monument to someone who seeks to create a whole new world. A wake Up Call.
Obama is a president with only failures as his legacy. So why not hijack a billion dollars to build a fake legacy? This man has tried to convert the USA to Islam and has allowed many things to happen that should not be allowed to happen. This habit of absolute power to any person who gives a good speech has to end. We need good presidents who consider their people and build up the nation. Not a religious freak who wants to be a towel head and who wants his wife and daughters to walk about masked or to be accosted in a public toilet by randy Muslims. But then he may want more wives and concubines so Islam is the answer.?? A statue of Obama on a white horse flying up to paradise wont go down very well in the USA but they may allow it in Iran.
He will need it for the cover up of his crooked and incompetent tenure.Unless the Muslim Brotherhood donates it he will never see it !!!! Ego Maniac in a Empty Suit.
He will need it for the cover up of his crooked and incompetent tenure.Unless the Muslim Brotherhood donates it he will never see it !!!! Ego Maniac in a Empty Suit.
Well, a billion dollars for a monument to the worst President our country ever had seems about $975 million too much! Actually we should tell him no money because we don’t have any money. We are so broke we had to cheat the retirees out of any raise!
SAVE THE MONEY OBAMA MONUMENTS ARE ALL OVER THE LAND. NOW WE ARE ADDING A THIRD ONE. BE SURE TO SALUTE WHEN YOU USE AMERICAN STANDARD.
TRUMP IS LOVE.
I’m with you 120%,
That SOB MOSLEM HUSSAIN OBAMA can ask his friends in IRAN & the Middle East to build him a monument. It should depict an UGLY CHIMP with DUMBO ears.
Obama is an antiAmerican
Mistake
He’s just a mistake, period!
Sounds just like you!
Hey sheila,
WAHHHH!!!!!!
Mr. ABUTOM, I’m with you 120%,
That SOB MOSLEM HUSSAIN OBAMA can ask his friends in IRAN & the Middle East to build him a monument. It should depict an UGLY CHIMP with DUMBO ears.
How much can it cost to sculpt an anal orifice?
Ya’ll sound like un-American commies!
Hey sheila,
WAHHH!!!!!!!
Thank you, Sheila! 🙂
You must be one of those brainless libtards who voted for it! Did he give you a free phone and lots of food stamps? LOSER!
Sorry, Sheila, but you have it BACKWARDS. The “Un-American Commie” lives in the WHITE HOUSE. His “Presidential library” should be a gigantic hammer-and-sickle with the “sickle” part buried in the HEARTLAND of a United States map, with its “life’s blood” in the form of DOLLARS gushing from the wound. Now THAT would be an accurate portrayal of his “accomplishments” during his ABORTION of a Presidency!
No just “mad as hell” at what this man has done to this wonderful nation. As the man said, enjoy your free phone and food stamps.
I think it should be right along side Benedict Arnold and as such maybe in Kenya
George Maier, you might have a good idea. From time to time some jerks have been making noises about digging Benedict Arnold up and bringing him here. You might agree with this idea. Dig Arnold up, move him to Kenya and when Obama goes to be with Allah, the two of them could spend eternity together with all those big fat virgins. I read once they were all Nuns with 12 gage shotguns. Might be interesting.
Put HIS monument right next to the Benedict Arnold memorial. What, you mean Arnold doesn’t HAVE a memorial? Oh, that’s right. We don’t tend to build monuments to people who BETRAY THIS COUNTRY, as he certainly has done, on MANY occasions!
yes.
Its amazing how such a huge amount of money could be wasted when there are so many in need. So selfish, but no surprise to me. It’s like he thinks he actually was a president. Sure he had the title for 8 years, but he was certainly no president.
C O R R E C T
That’s audacity! He says were running out of SS? Then does this? God help him on judgment day.
He thinks he deserves more than Seniors and our Military awaiting Medical Attention. His travels have costs 1 Billion a year, why not his Library?
I don’t think judgment day is to far off.A heart attack is in his very near. Future
He came in office to destroy the Country!
Silent Majority, Obama does not give a DAMN about “people in need.” With his MONSTROUS ego, everything is ALWAYS all about HIM, and NOTHING ELSE.
absolutely correct.
A 5 ton pile of dog shot certainly doesn’t cost 1 billion dollars.
Of course anyone with a head large enough to support those ears would feel he is entitled to a billon $ library.
What supports your mouths!!
Hey Sheila,
WAHHH!!!!!!!
Shelia, I worked for my SS what did u do? I supported myself not from “free” stuff from govt. Have a nice few months. He will be gone gone soon.
Why would Obama want that much money for a library? It seems like with all the records he had sealed, he would probably only need a small bookcase for his memoirs.
He needs more money to spend on his next F**Ken vacation. I hope the destination is HELL. He needs to meet up with his IDEL HUSSAIN.
Failure Failure Failure, His memoirs would not be much either
george soro,s can buy an an build it, after all barry is his boy, not one dine of taxpayer money should be use on this, yes it is just an ego feeding . An someone, would probably go burn in down. an a BILLION DOLLARS, would clean up a lot of neighbor hoods, an poor areas, an do a lot for people needing help, not another place to read, a place that is safe an clean an warm an has food an medical staff. LETS GET REAL. this is a WASTE OF GOOD MONEY , put is soros pay for it it is his money
How about an OUT HOUSE? Something that his father used to use in KENYA.I’m with you 120%,
That SOB MOSLEM HUSSAIN OBAMA can ask his friends in IRAN & the Middle East to build him a monument. It should depict an UGLY CHIMP with DUMBO ears.
I hope the library isn’t going to be in Chicago where people are getting shot every day and poor people live in the streets. Obama is from Chicago and it would be a slap in the face to spend a billion dollars on a building and Black families are suffering. He has no heart!!
Rebecca black family’s may be suffering but they voted for him!!! They made their bed let them sleep in it!!!!
It a huge opportunity for all of the extremely wealthy people who have been stealing their wealth from the general public for years, but got caught, to obtain a pardon from a prison sentence and return to their unearned lifestyles. There is a rule that should be changed, or never existed. I don’t believe there is any corruption greater than that ability, and I am sure he will abuse it the same way Clinton did years ago. What filth.
Give the ego maniac a cardboard box and a pile of used paperbacks, that’s all this ass deserves.
FED UP, if he got what he “deserved”, I’m pretty sure there would be either a GALLOWS or a FIRING SQUAD involved, not a library!
He has already ‘given’ us his monument. The monument of his failure is OUR NATIONAL DEBT doubled in size to that of all prior presidents.
The only appropriate shape for his library would be that of a phallus. Or the middle finger he has held up to OUR COUNTRY.
MORE APPROPRIATE A NOOSE.
His homosexual friends will gladly chip in; after all he made their day and has made it legal for them to now prey on kids to grow their ranks.
This is the most disgusting president in history.
Will get you s ONE-way ticket outta here!
A news report this morning reported that the University of Chicago just purchased 10.1 acres for this boondoggle.
An old house housing a volunteer funded Veterans group that provides 4,000 meals a month and other services to
veterans and homeless is being charged $16,000 per day in code violations. This group is located where this
“monument” will be located. WHICH ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT? Also, for a person who cannot provide a legitimate
birth certificate, college records, where he lived when he got a New England area Social Security card……. What
memorabilia will fill this “memorial”? Self aggrandizement pictures, busts and videos of his world-wide apology
tours!
YEAH, & IN 50 YEARS, WHEN ALL THE RE-DACTED INFO IS EXPOSED, THEY CAN TAKE DOWN THE IDIOT STATUES & LIBRARY
George Soros will fund that. I hope they don’t steal the US Treasury to fund his monument
in the guise of historical achievements.
A Monument for his greatness BS THE ONLY THING HE DID WAS PUT US SO FAR IN DEBT THAT WE MIGHT NEVER GET OUT, TOOK AWAY A LOT OF OUR RIGHTS CONDEMED OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING HE HATED AMERICA AND WAS OUT TO DISTROY IT. HE IS A SECOND HITLER AND THE WORST PRESIDENT THAT WE EVER HAD A COMPLEAT IDIT. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CHECK THE BACKGROND OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THIS TIME BEFORE THEY VOTE FOR THEM. THINK AND THINK HARD.
Another example of the insanity of some of the people in this country. He has no right to plan a Billion dollar library. Who cares about the lier and cheat. We know he shouldn’t even be the President.
I can see it now. A bronze statute. So all the birds have something to shit on. It’s not really fair to the birds. But what the hell. What he’s done to the country isn’t fair either
You are already leaving a monument to yourself by the crumbling infrastructure and hate you have instigated in this country. Your monument will be all the dead babies, all the beheaded Christians in the Mideast, the same sex bathrooms. a failed Iran nuclear deal……all your legacies along with all the jobs gone under and that will go under because of the $15 an hour minimum wage.
That’s one expensive outhouse!
DOES IT HAVE A TALKING STATUE OF HIMSELF IN IT?!!!
AS IN REVELATION 13:15
There was a good idea in the article about making it a virtual library but maybe add a small building to house some of the items from his terms in office that the Smithsonian does not want or personnel items (including the items that he had sealed such as birth certificate, education records and diplomas including funding information). This $1 Billion is way too much money; money that could and should be put to a better use; feeding and housing the homeless, taking care of our veterans, educating our youth, and/or helping the mentally challenged. I know this is private money but it could be put to a real non-profit not government run institution to take care of these issues, non-government would do the job for less money and do a better job.
Oh no no no! The money will not come from the taxpayers! I think it comes from donations only. I might be wrong. I like the idea of the outhouse. Make sure you put the woman’s logo on the door because he is a pussy!
Give him the billion dollars and then in two years ask him where it went since no one else knows.
An outhouse with one copy of Obamacare for the necessary clean up operations would be a more fitting monument befitting his legacy! We should charge him 9 trillion dollars for it though so he can “share our pain” for his tenure payable by him and all descendants of his in perpetuity, let’s not forget the interest!
He should put it in a Trans Bathroom in Chicago. Where the asswipes go.
That Kenyan monkey should have a statue of an ape climbing a banana tree, made out of paper mache with a caption, Ode to a muslim gorilla.
Never a man, never an American.
You are so spiritual!!!
I wouldn’t give the piece of crap 2 cents.
A library is used to hold important documents and information available to the general public. So what would be appropriate for Obama? The only papers of any importance were those on gun running, Benghazi, and his own illegal activity which he would not releace to the Public. So to properly honor Obama, a library would be totally an overkill. Perhaps a better tribute would be to erect a huge shithouse in the neighborhood of Chicago and near the gay bars he loves so well. A lead monument could be made from all of the illegal and wasted ammo purchased in vain to try and keep guns from our citizens and to try and defeat the second amendment. This could be shaped like the Bust of Obama with his elephant ears and Brillo pad hair. A sign on the statue should read read. In memory of the shittiest man to ever sit in the oval office. Inside there should be many stalls, and a registration desk where you could get all of what Obama considers as his important papers printed on toilet paper. You could choose which papers you wish to wipe your ass with, although it really should not matter because nothing he ever said was worth a shit. You could choose your stall upon signing in as a male, female, or pervert transgender. Don’t forget to flush the useless words of Obama to where it belongs with all the other shit. A whole project would not cost much and it would be more that he was worth but it would be a fitting tribute.
right on Ron!
The only library that Obama is ever going to see after we get through with him is going to be at GYTMO in Cuba, and I think that library is free!
Lets see. How big of a safe will Obama need to hide all his secrets. A billion sounds about right.
A $1 billion library is appropriate for a narcissist who cause our nation to go deeply into debt under his leadership. Barack Hussein Obama will leave a mountain of debt that his grandchildren and great grandchildren will have to deal with. The Obama library can devote one wing to his many attempts to trample on the constitutional rights of the American people. He can devote one wing to memorialize the criminal activity which was part of his “most transparent” administration in American history–his gun giveaway to criminals can go in the Eric Holder suite of rooms. One wing can be devoted to the foreign policy failures of his administration. One wing can be devoted to his unceasing efforts to destroy the moral fabric of our nation. One wing can be devoted to his embrace of Islam and disregard of Christian persecution around the world. A floor can be devoted to his many golf games which were played while he was supposed to have been working. A section can be devoted to recognizing all the fawning media that turned their publications and newscasts into an Obama praise and worship hour rather than objectively telling the news. A wing can be devoted to the bureaucratic utopia created by Obamacare.
Now that I think of it, $1 billion may be needed to build a facility large enough to completely chronicle the failures of this incompetent, corrupt and lawless administration. Barack Obama is a worthless waste of humanity. Hopefully his library will depict that.
You said it Justin – way to go. I see u have your head on correctly. Genius level. Thanks for saying it so well.
A real small LIBARY is all that is needed. He has written only two books. One how I brought the U.S. to its knees. and the second book. How I distroyed our medical system.
That’s ridiculous, all you need is a piece of marble or Granite, and put some dog feces on it. There you go. I must admit the marble or granite is going way overboard
There were warnings about Obama, but we, the majority, didn’t heed
them. I hope our next president truly cares for our nation and our
citizens.
Who Trump!!! Please, your intelligence is showing!!
Sheila, we got Obozo because people hated Bush so much they would vote for anyone, but someone associated with him. Now we may well get another media produced narcissist who would fund his own 2 Billion dollar library. Voters need to ask what they want for America, and realize that “Make it Great”! is exactly like “Hope and Change”. Problem is they also realize that they are totally screwed if the follow on to O’s act is one of the dirty supporters of his policy.
What he will do is raise 1 Billion dollars and then build his library cheaply with immigrant labor and waste the rest of it on his family who are in this county illegally. Or probably bring the rest of his family over and build grand houses for them in Hawaii to live in.
He could earn the money legally. Instead of going on vacation, he could set up a dunking both. Three balls for a quarter. He would have to be the dunkee to make it work. He could also set up dart booths around the Country and abroad with a picture of obama and you get three darts for a quarter. Now he would earn the money quicker if he passed for the dart throws instead of the pictures. My wife tells me that the president would not survive the personal stand in for the dart throwing. My response was “and that’s a problem”?
He can probably get most of it from the Clinton foundation. The price of Hillary’s pardon.
Good one!!!
Why not? He has so much to his credit… ISIS formation, Benghazi flopping and fake coverstory, Solndra failure, Attempting to change the constitution over and over and over to it’s detriment, the latest helping perverts watch ittle girls pee and shower in their own public school facilities, and so much much more!!!!!!!!! Not that I am saying they are good reasons he should have such a grandiose statue dedicated to his name. He has been a gift that keps on giving.
He should build it in Kenya, his place of birth and not at the expense of the US taxpayer. How arrogant, selfish and entitled he is.
As bad as this is, and it is HORRIBLE, I can already see $hitlery counting on raising a couple of billion for not only HER library but also a couple to deposit into her “foundation”. She spent her 4 years as SOS selling us out to foreign governments for “donations” to her “foundation” and, as president will do far worse!!!The current moron in chief will promise that she will do VERY special favors for donors to his library and will therefore have to protect her at all costs from EVER being prosecuted for her lawlessness. There will be no end to this corruption.
They have waited so long to indict Crooked Hillary, might as well wait another few months till Bozo is out of the White House and can’t pardon her.
not at all surprised by this. This guy is a complete disgrace and is so far out of touch with reality its inconceivable his arrogance. Should be in jail and let be his legacy!
The black Muslim in the WH is such a pathetic FOOL and so full of himself. He is the lowest form of humanity with no moral compass. No one truly knows who he is or where he came from and yet He wants to raise 1B $$ for a monument to himself. What a joke and who in the hell wants to be reminded of an idiot who never did anything good and decent for our nation. You’re on your way out and GOOD RIDDANCE to the most INCOMPETENT president in the history of the USA.
A bronze statue of a penis would be fitting.
Fed Up: Or better still a bronze statue of his A$$ bending over since that’s what he’s been doing all his life.
I think a vagina would be more fitting.
A statue with 3 heads and horns, and painted multi gay colors would be appropriate. I hope when Trump gets in office he proves that Obama was never a citizen of the USA, and voids all of us benefits, pension, etc. Trump has a lot of things to undo.
Well said – and oh so appropriate!
Haha…that’s funny!
Do people really want something that ugly on public display (even in Chicago)? Beside the money could be put to better use on something like medical research. And exactly what does he have that could fill a library of any significant size? A good bet is that anything of significance could fill a building the size of a two seat outhouse.
Let’s just give him the money and tell him to disappear and take the Clinton’s with him.
He pay for the library from his own Nobel price – remember – he got the Peace Price ?
Isn’t he moving to Dubai , where he already built a palace ?
There’s one already Arbam Linclon
Predicated his legacy,,, His library ought to be about 4X4 with a half moon on the door and some of his directives handy to wipe you know what.
Maybe the Hildabeast could even keep her presidential server there.
Hmmmmm
Wonder how many Guantanamo prisoners families have “donated” to the library??
Very interesting indeed
Wonder how much the Clinton foundation will have to donate, to get her pardoned????
What a bunch of filthy individuals. They sure know how to work the system and screw the people. Over and over and over.
Only in America.
I’m FOR TRUMP!! And I CAN NOT wait until he is OUR AMERICAN PRESIDENT!!!!!
If Obama wants to build a library, then let him use his own money or set up a Go Fund Me page. I am sure there are a lot of idiots who would donate to it.
jail is to good for this un-American SOB !!
I am willing to contribute for a small and cheap bust of him placed in a public way so tthat dogs can pee on it. ( with permission to people to do it too.)
May a crane fall on it as soon as it’s complete and replace it with a one-holer.
Once again, the arrogance of this community worker goes far beyond the imagination of a normal human being. Of course, there is a certain few of lesser intelligence that seem to think is a God.
I might be persuaded to donate say 1 Cent ( Plugged) of course.
I’ll give it one scent when I fart walking by.
The Proud members of the Fed Gov.should atleast start the Impeachment process just as they did for the other Ass Hole President, Slick Willy Clinton Impeachment process was started on him rite!
I hope that he knows not to build on the same place as the VETERANS BUILDINGS!!!!!!! I have seen two black veterans on TV and they said that he was going to make them move out so he will build his library in place of the veterans building. These veterans are a need in there community. They help feed the homeless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knowing Obama, I’m sure he will not be happy unless he can build it on the site of something actually does some GOOD for the public or the country, so he can order it DEMOLISHED to make way for his obscene monument to himself.
make him an internal part of the concrete foundation. Problem solved
If the cement is a tad DRY I’d be
glad to drop by and give it a squirt!
Chris, I think taking a dump would be more appropriate, but you’re right. A good place to get rid of waste.
As an American citizen, I demand that NO TAX $ be used for Obama. He is the most evil man I have ever seen and I rate him as Satan! He is a Muslim and is a homosexual and a high liar!
Hey……., here’s an Idea……..let Obama, go back to the places and to the people who is in so proud of and is so intent on advancing there activity and there place in the world, and to those who he was so eager to bow to…….yes, I suggesting that Obama, go back to the Mid-East and bow again and ask those rich “folks” or that kind of money!. Just how dare this person, even suggest that he have any THING NAMED AFTER him, other then maybe a street in the getto of his “home” town Chicago. The gaul of this dude, does he really think that he is SOOOOOO Great, my GOD, what a true [Adam Henry Hole]. Good God, you folks who elected this clown, not just the first time but even on the second time around, I would suggest that you and the money from the Middle East, get him that money, but, I know for a fact……that so many of you who voted for that wreck are either on welfare, the EBT cards or getting min.wage……..ha, ha, that what you get when you vote for a real street thug, yea a real street dope smoking gang{star} and the list goes on and on, and it got even worst, but, hey, {He be, so cool, for real}. Please, stop, all of this and his BS, this person goes to a college to give a speech, and he lies to those college grad’s, again the list goes on……”how can you tell if Obama is telling a lie?……..he is breathing”.
A billion bucks, and people in that city are sleeping on the street!
He is an arrogant asshole.
Unless we can hang him in it,and I dont mean a picture. No tribute for this Arab POS.
I don’t think a monument made out of pure $hit should be built anywhere on American soil, Kenya is where it needs to be built. obama is pure $hit anyway.
$1B for a monument to himself????? You can bronze a POS for a whole lot less than that – and I wouldn’t waste the bronze! Pot metal would be more appropriate.
I give a tribute everytime I pull the handle down on the Toilet he is the most arrogant Asswipe I have ever seen
I will be happy to see him leave office I just wish he would move to a Muslim Country since he loves there beliefs so much & Take Hoopi Goldberg & Okra Winfrey when you go.
Yes let’s give the worst President in History a monument…. one who has written I His own laws, gone against the Constitution, committed treason, a lier, anti American, racist, and …. not even an American citizen. I thought the Government was broke.
Money is no object when it comes to the Little Fairy-In-Chief gratifying his MONSTROUS EGO at the expense of the American taxpayer! If he wants a BILLION DOLLAR “Presidential Library”, let him spend the rest of his term running around fund-raising with the Hollyweird crowd and OTHER limousine liberals with more money than good sense and pay for it HIMSELF. Don’t know what he needs a “Presidential Library” for anyhow–WHAT can he put in it, besides abject failure after FAILURE? NOTHING he has done has been good for the country, and the ONLY “successes” he’s had have been DESTRUCTIVE ones.
Reminds me of some vainglorious PHARAOH constructing an elaborate tomb for himself. If we could be assured we’d be able to BURY this power-mad little egomaniac in it, then I’d say it was worth the money. But if he expects to stay alive and continue running around causing trouble and helping to destroy the US, then I’d say he needs to scale back his egomaniacal plans a LOT!
LMAO!
Ah, so is THAT what all the flying around all over on Air Force One at OUR EXPENSE to “fundraising” gigs instead of, you know, doing his JOB has been all about? Raising money for this OBSCENE monument to Obama’s monstrous EGO? He should be forced to REFUND his salary for the past 8 years, since he has done NOTHING to earn it, and in FACT, has done quite a lot of DAMAGE while we were supposedly paying him to function as a “leader”–something that is beyond the capabilities of the Little Princess-In-Chief. He should ALSO be forced to reimburse us for the cost of all those “fundraising” trips on Air Force One, not to mention the security, etc. we were forced to provide for his WORTHLESS behind!
I’ve been asking all along WHAT it was he was raising funds for? I knew it wasn’t to support OTHER Democratic candidates in the coming election, because he is WAY too self-centered to go to that much trouble on anybody ELSE’S behalf. Now it makes sense. He was raising money for his OBSCENELY EGOMANIACAL “Presidential Library!”
I think that if Obummer wants a library for him then let him fund it himself. I don’t think that the people of America should fund any of it.
I truly believe that only a mediocre percentage will make it to the actual building of this project. The rest will go to a similar organization like the Clinton foundation where he can draw on it as much as he likes!
The “biography” part of his “library” would just be blank walls, because he has HIDDEN his entire life history from view by sealing records. I have always maintained this is because he was a manufactured person, and since all his records are FAKE, had to be sealed because they would not withstand examination.
Likewise, the “accomplishments” part would be blank, because I can’t think of a SINGLE POSITIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT this destructive, LYING POS can point to and say, “I did that.” No, the only “accomplishments” he had are negative and destructive ones!
Don’t forget, they are going to destroy a city park on the south side of Chicago for this egomaniac’s shrine to himself.
Imagine the outcry if a Conservative were to build a library on green space in a city. It would be deemed “racist” in this case because 99% of the people who use that particular park are black. But since Obama is a raging Leftist… not a peep about how poor minority kids will lose their beloved park.
What madness. Forget it. You Bast***s in congress better start the impeachment proceedings NOW.!!! hAVEN’T THE PEOPLE SUFFERED ENOUGH ALREADY. from this jerk. What the hell are you waiting for.!!!!!!!
When O’bama is reincarnated, he’ll evolved backward to the snake he once, literately.
I’ve heard that the Barack Huesen Obama Presidential Library will have three parking spots, one to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and two additional spots. Planners of the Library assure us that there will not be a parking problem ever at the Library.
A CONTRIBUTION????? The lying bastard and the wanna-be but Never will be queen didn’t steal enough already???? Tell them….. NO WAY….. YOU CHOSE TO SPEND THE MONEY TAXPAYERS PAYING 16 MILLION DOLLARS FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY AND IN-LAWS OF VACATION TO THE TUNE OF THOUSAND DOLLAR PER NIGHT HOTEL ROOMS!!! YOU LYING PIECE OF muslim PIG SHIT….. THAT MONEY WAS YOUR PIG SHIT COVERED HERITAGE!!! CONGRESS…. WE THE PEOPLE WILL START A PETITION….. NO MONEY FOR A RETIREMENT RAISE SHOULD YOU NOT IMPEACH THE BASTARD, YOU BALL-LESS WONDERS!!!!!! NO TAXPAYERS MONEY TO BE GIVEN TO THAT muslim PIG!!! THE LAST LAUGH IS THE BEST LAUGH….. AND THAT WILL BE THE LAST LAUGH!!! AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING UNDER THAT SON OF A WHORE AND A muslim PIG, I REFUSE TO ALLOW ANY OF MY TAX DOLLARS BE WASTED ON GUTTER TRASH AND AN AMERICAN ABOMINATION!!!! YOU WANT TO LEAVE A LEGACY????? PUT HIS NAME OVER A JAIL CELL….. PREFERABLY IN GITMO!!! AND MAKE SURE KILLORY AND THE WANNA-BE QUEEN HAVE THEIR NAMES INSTALLED OVER JAIL CELLS IN GITMO!!! IT IS WHAT THEY WORKED FOR…. IT IS WHAT WE FEEL IS FAIR….. IT IS WHAT WE WANT DONE!!!
Seems like a lot of money for a 20 tons of human waste in the likeness of His Highness Obama.
Make the Library a Huge Outhouse with all His accomplishments in it. It will smell a bit so put it in Detroit.
Maybe we should rethink this? I came across this information and thought it was worth including in this conversation, just as a reminder to all that he may in fact need a very big house to explain all of this;
“Quit trashing Obama’s accomplishments. He has done more than any other President before him. Here is a list of his impressive accomplishments:

I feel much better now. I had been under the impression he hadn’t been doing ANYTHING … Such an accomplished individual… in the eyes of the ignorant maybe!”
I am sure there is much, much more that we do not know about that could fill a $1b library with so that all that come after us can learn how one man destroyed the greatest nation on earth.
To “DT reality” — Thank you so much for your wonderful posting of Obama’s “accomplishments” — I am in awe of your knowledge — what an eye-opener. He has done so many detrimental things to our country over the last 7-1/2 years that it’s hard to remember them all — thank you for refreshing our memories! I have been around this old world for a long, long time, have seen quite a few presidents come and go, and never have I witnessed the total destruction that Obama has wrought on our country. I remember one of his first “slogans” when he told the crowd “America is the greatest country on earth, work with me to change it!” and the people just whooped and cheered, and I was so appalled, I thought “did they not listen to what he just said?” Obviously not. They cheered at whatever words fell out of his mouth, no matter how ridiculous they were! And this was when he was running for office the first time — I kept thinking that surely people would “wake up and smell the coffee”, but, alas, they did not. So, D. T., thank you for your posting, and keep up the good work!
Does anyone wonder why Donald Trump looks good to a very frustrated electorate – we all must get the vote out and make sure that Hillary does not get elected. I am an independent who believes Hillary is the worst candidate for president we have ever had – she cannot be trusted!! If Hillary was running against Lassie, I would vote for Lassie. She is worse than pathetic!! We all must get the vote out – and if we have to vote against Hillary, then let’s do it because her trail of tears leadership will further lead this country down the road of failure, following our Muslim presidents reign of terror.
Here’s hoping President Trump helps congress find the balls to say ‘no’.
I have a few ideas.
One is the Obama library could be just an empty hole in the ground, to commemorate the money pit that is Obama. And its emptiness would represent the vacuousness of his ideas.
Another would be to make the library located at Supermax instead of Chicago, since this is where he should spend the remainder of his years: In a maximum-security prison.
The third idea would be to make the museum a crane holding a wrecking ball, since that would represent what his ideas have done to America.
Well he could save us lots of money by just getting a concrete block and placing a good pile of manure on it. When it dried up and blew away, just get another pile of manure; after all it is plentiful, unless his EPA says it is environmentally unfriendly; in which case there would be nothing but the big wind.
