Obama Center Gets Even Uglier As Massive Mind-Numbing Text Display Goes Up – RedState
The Obama Presidential Center has received a lot of criticism, mainly because it is one of the ugliest buildings humanity has ever produced. Soviet architects are said to be impressed by the brutalist and menacing design of the $850 million ode to the 44th century.th president.
But what some have called a “Klingon prison” just got weirder and, if possible, less appealing with the addition of a colossal display on its sides with words taken from the former president’s 2015 speech in Selma, Alabama. This might be inspiring – if you could actually read it:
I noticed when I was in the air that the phrases wrap around the west and south sides of the building, and look okay in a very specific spot on the ground or very good views from the air…but that’s not an ideal design in my opinion. pic.twitter.com/pjtUxRUCM9

“It’s not the ideal design.” Well, it’s certainly a contender for understatement of the year. “I gave up after developing a headache three lines from the top,” one commenter noted.
This is not a traditional presidential library: physical records will not even be stored there, as is usually the case. Instead, the National Archives will manage them off-site and make digital versions available to the public. Its real goal is to act as a sort of monumental community organizing project.
The Obama Foundation, whose CEO is the infamous Valerie Jarrett, funds and will manage the campus, which will include a regulation basketball court, a museum, a full-size replica of the Oval Office, podcast/recording studios, a “Democracy in Action Lab,” and much more.
There will be a real library on site, a 5,000 square foot branch of the Chicago Public Library, which will be topped by Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit and Vegetable Garden.
Their website describes the place as “a global center for change.”
For what? I love America the way it is. What exactly do you want to change? This is a rhetorical question; we all know he wants to transform himself into a woke bastion of liberalism.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will become a hub of change – a place where people from around the world can come together, be inspired and take what they have learned back to their own communities. https://t.co/gW6UCYBCAJ pic.twitter.com/U92thHbAUL

The Center is expected to open its doors in June. Meanwhile, every time you look at it, it gets uglier and uglier. Khrushchev would be proud.
Editor’s Note: The Democratic Party has never been more popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
