Last week, after many years of planning and construction, Il Duce Obama finally opened his Presidential Center in Chicago. It is a massive, and massively ugly edifice.
This monstrosity was built in Chicago’s Jackson Park is said to have cost $850 million for the building alone. But in true Democrat fashion, the price tag doesn’t end with the reported cost. The already overtaxed citizens of the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois also are on the hook for some $350 million for necessary infrastructure improvements.
And the way Obama got control of the property on which his building sits is, to say the least creative financing. To say the most, it’s blatant fraud. Obama got 19 acres of the park for the sum of $10. (Even the Indians got more than that for Manhattan long, long ago). In return for the $10 price, Obama was supposed to fund an endowment with $470 million to support the project. Five years ago, they got the endowment started with a $1 million deposit. No further deposits have been made. That’s what my late father used to call, “A dollar down, and the rest when you catch me.”
And true to his Democrat roots, Obama spent money on the building that he didn’t have. Dozens of subcontractors, many of them minority owned businesses, are owed millions of dollars for work done and never paid for. Well, Obama is all about hope, so I guess they can “hope” they’ll find a way to stay in business. It’s a win-win for Obama, though. He got his building, he got the virtue signaling satisfaction of hiring minority firms, he didn’t pay them of course, but if they go out of business it’ll be Trump’s fault.
The design of Obama’s abomination has raised many eyebrows. According to one of the designers, “The shape of the building was actually meant to mimic four hands coming together to show the importance of our collective action.” Collective? Note the Marxist terminology. Other observers don’t see hands coming together.
Many Chicago residents think they’re getting the back of the hand. They call the building an “eyesore” which is driving up rents and property taxes in the area. Other observers were less kind. They’ve called it the “Obmalisk,” and the “Obamausoleum.” Some see a more otherworldly design, calling it “the Death Star,” and likening the edifice to “a Klingon prison.”
For a man who some accused of being born somewhere other than in the United States, these descriptions could be troubling. We’ve all seen Obama’s birth certificate, but maybe he’s trying to tell us something. After all, the release of UFO files is in the news, and many are claiming there’s proof of space aliens visiting our planet. The shape of the Obama Center is a bit suspicious. To me, it looks a lot like the obelisk from 2001 – A Space Odyssey.
Then again, it’s more reminiscent of the entrance to the headquarters of the agents in Men in Black
Obama could be trying to tell us that space aliens are living among us. Or maybe not. The building may just have been designed to look like George Orwell’s 1984 Ministry of Truth
But design aside, Obama’s speech at the opening ceremonies wasn’t at all foreign or unusual. If you had some HOPE that his message would CHANGE, you were sadly disappointed. It was the same Socialist claptrap, out and out bullshit, and hope and change happy horseshit that he fed America for eight years. Plus, given Obama’s conduct leading up to and following the 2016 election, the speech was a study in hypocrisy.
First, let’s set the scene. Valerie Jarrett is the CEO of the Obama Center. Her salary is $740,000 a year, and unlike other minorities connected to the project, she is getting paid. Her introduction was pure virtue signaling bullshit.
“We’d also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today.” “We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa and the Potawatomi nations.” Some have faulted at the logic, or apparent lack of such in these comments. They built “a communist monument” on “stolen land” that the new owners refuse to give back.
For his part, Il Duce Obama at first commented on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, but then quickly managed to defame our nation’s Founding Fathers. He noted that the success of the experiment with self-government was never a given. “In forming our union, the founders fell terribly short of the Declaration’s promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property, but in drafting a constitution and a bill of rights, they did have the foresight, the genius to provide us with a framework that allows each generation to make our union more perfect.”
So, the Declaration was flawed, but the Constitution was a work of genius? Okay, but many of the the men who signed the Declaration, also wrote the Constitution. You know, that document that’s supposed to be the supreme law of the land, the one that Democrats like Obama view as merely an impediment to be ignored.
Il Duce spoke of our “beliefs,” and without mentioning his name, used these comments to criticize our current president.
“A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party but to the people and our Constitution.” Does he think they don’t? These officers swear to support and defend the Constitution, and military officers promise to obey the orders of those appointed over them, like, say, their Commander in Chief. The implication is that the military should disregard Trump’s orders.
“A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time.”
This one was truly laughable. Barrack Hussein Obama personally participated in the illegal, unconscionable, and unconstitutional attempts to sabotage the Trump 2016 campaign, and to cripple his first Administration. He presided over meetings that led to spying on and wiretapping of campaign officials. He changed intelligence gathering and dissemination rules to permit raw intelligence to be leaked from the Trump Administration. He appointed and left behind moles in every agency whose jobs it was to undermine Trump. Obama was directly responsible for the decision to have the FBI ambush General Michael Flynn, and railroad him into an indictment for lying to a federal officer.
In 2016, the people spoke in a free and fair election, and Il Duce Obama did everything he could to frustrate the will of American voters, for the express purpose of seeing that his Party got its way 100% of the time. Instead of building a Klingon prison, he should be sitting in a prison.
Then Obama spoke of events after he left office. “I recognize it’s been almost a decade since I left office. In that time, we have lived through more war and a terrible pandemic, economic disruptions, mass protests, backlash against mass protests, political conflicts that have shaken the very foundation of our democracy. ” We’ve lived through more war? Obama attacked eight countries and killed thousands. The war with Iran was necessary only because Obama’s to pay off the Iranians financed their nuclear program.
Economic disruptions? Things only got better once Il Duce was gone. Mass protests, and backlash against mass protests? I’ll translate for you. Democrats caused riots that killed scores of people and destroyed thousands of businesses and other property. The backlash was enforcement of the law, which Obama and his ilk oppose.
And political conflicts that have shaken the foundation of our democracy? Obama is the crooked son of a bitch who supervised the shaking.
Then Obama warned us not to “open the door to the most ruthless, or the most careless, or the most fearful among us, who see some groups and some people as more equal than others, and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies and keep those who are different in their place. The balls on this prick! Il Duce ruthlessly weaponized the government to stifle all dissent, and to keep dissenters “in their place,” which he decided was federal prison.
Now that the Obama Death Star is open for business, where is Luke Skywalker when we need him? There is what looks like an open thermal exhaust port on the side of the building. One proton torpedo ought to do it.
