Obama Presidential Center Breaks Promise Already

[james bond]

Just like the worst POTUS ever, the Obama Presidential Center has broken its promise to not destroy any age-old trees in Chicago's Jackson Park for the building of the Obama Presidential Center.

The Chicago Sun-Times wrote:
"Since former President Barack Obama picked Jackson Park for his center in August 2016, a series of intertwined projects in and around Jackson Park has made the impact much larger than just the 19.3 acres to be occupied by the center, including retooling roadways and relocating athletic fields.

Despite claims by Obama representatives, the famed Jackson Park, designed by landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1893, will see major alterations even though the park was placed on the federal National Register of Historic Places in 1972. And preservationists say the Obama Center is destroying the carefully planned parklands across the city’s Lake Shore region."

In addition to this news, taxpayers are now being burdened for two hundred million dollars in additional costs resulting from the Obama Center. Why does a do nothing POTUS even need a center?

“Now comes news that Illinois taxpayers will put up at least $174 million for roadway and transit reconfigurations needed to accommodate the Obama Center. If you don’t live in Illinois, you may be smirking — but you’ll be footing the bill, too,” the Journal reported on August 10. “Eighty percent of such spending is generally reimbursed by the federal government, and Illinois officials confirmed to me that they expect to receive $139 million from Washington if they request it.”

The above reminds of the dark times under Obama. It's a good thing we are under the Trump Administration now.

Can we really be surprised after our black muslim president ran on "the most transparent administration ever" that once in office, actually ran the LEAST transparent administration ever?!

ONE of Obama's lies amounts to at least 150 of Trump's!

A man like Obumma only got away with so many dammed lies because his base was determined to make him work out as a black man that they were willing to overlook and deny anything! And they were prepared to do even more to make "our first woman president" work out.

The problem with the Left is that they worked so hard on being "first" at race and sex they didn't notice or care that they had ended up with two of the biggest pieces of dirt anyone could find.

So if they raise the funds privately they’re allowed to raze historical sites and artifacts? And you support that in the name of a republican? Who knew?

Like your Dear Leader Don the Con- you live for lies.

WASHINGTON — The city and Chicago Park District are cutting down trees in Jackson Park – in a project related to the Obama Presidential Center – despite a pending lawsuit, city and federal approvals still needed and a pledge from the Obama Foundation CEO to keep trees intact until the permitting process is complete.


The Chicago Park District is digging up baseball fields in Jackson Park south of the proposed Obama Center complex.


The reason?


The diamonds are being removed to make room for a track field displaced by the Obama Center, to be located on 19.3 acres carved out of Jackson Park.


The Obama Foundation is paying the Chicago Park District up to $3.5 million to fund a new multisport athletic field on the baseball site. That’s because the field is being bumped for the Obama Foundation. The projects are inextricably connected.

So to be clear- the Obama Foundation isn't cutting the trees down- the City of Chicago and its park district are- in order to build baseball diamonds.

Except that everything you just pulled off Breitbart, is a lie. Why are we not surprised?

Trees are being cut down but not by Obama Centre and not for the Obama Centre.

Why can’t you people ever be honest and forthright? Oh yeah, because then you’d have nothing to bitch about.
