I visited Chicago this past weekend to photograph an annual event I strive to attend every year. The Obama Center was not on my Top 100 list of places I wanted to visit, but my friends wanted to go, so I joined them. When it comes to photography, I’m completely agnostic. Here are a few photos of this “unusual” structure:
Thank you for “taking one for the team”.
Post-Soviet brutalist architecture. Or as I call it, dystopian architecture. Suiting look for the 8 year Obama nuclear winter.

A flak tower built by an American Nazi.
Who died? LOL
It’s a headstone.
For Obama’s ego, No?
Love the ‘natural’ landscape … which makes the building look old and derelict on its grand opening.
Natural landscape…
I’d like to see this one, a fantastic prairie structure, t’s not an “official” library but I think it makes the grade for someone who was always “in the arena” … and the Reagan Library too.

Hahaha ha … no Obama fan could even walk from the parking lot to the Teddy Library … let alone take the trail loop and drink in the unspoiled landscape. Yeah … THAT’s the way to do – Natural.
Nah, the Obama fans will be ordering TWO sides of the $5.00 fries.
It’s like, totally, the Mecca of Presidential Libraries!
Bigger narcissist then Fauci.
I’m old enough to remember when ex Presidents retired to their ranches, disappeared, and shut the fkcu up
L – This legacy building looks so Stalinesque.
The Obama family chilli uses turkey, rather than ground beef. Because beef is so working class, blue collar, so red blooded American and that ain’t them.
Worse. Ground Turkey. God knows what Turkey parts are ground up.
Yes, I’ve eaten McClintock’s Turkey Nuts …

However, the BEST deep fried testicles I’ve ever eaten were sheep nuts chased down with lots of Henry Weinhards … 1974 … Klamath Falls, OR. Took a few starter beers in my 18yo gullet before I lost my testicle virginity.
Porta potty on steroids!
And Obama fans will all be going full Graham Platner inside …
GYM’s last porta potty party resulted in a prolapsed rectum.
This is a non-partisan issue. Any president who thinks it’s appropriate to waste millions and millions on nothing more than a monument to personal hubris is unserious and ridiculous. Democrats and Republicans alike.
They should have paid more attention to Calvin Coolidge who didn’t build a library to display all is “goodness” to the world for their appreciation. Instead, he found a public library not run by the Federal Government. The Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library and Museum is located on the second floor of the Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts. Anyone can visit. No federal funding. No state funding. And, get this….it actually looks like a library. Books and everything.
Went with my brother. Interesting for its modesty, quotations and historical artefacts –Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library on the second floor of the Forbes Library in Northampton.
I’m not sure which of those statues I’d want to urinate on the most: Barry or Big Mike? Prolly 50/50…
Well, Big Mike is wearing a dress. So here’s a chance for a sleuth to find out the truth.
It looks like a Berlin flak tower.
It lacks a crenellated top … from where Obama’s conscripts (read: slaves) can fire the slings and arrows of their outrageous fortunes. Fraudulently obtained fortunes.
The mooselimbs are happy; they now have a building from which they can teach pride parade participants to fly.
Many of the Black contractors (yeah, you knew they would be insisting on Black-owned businesses getting first crack at construction contracts, right?) who worked on the building are suing for *millions* in unpaid invoices. Companies are on the verge of bankruptcy because of it.

Deathstar Obama…how appropriate.

That last pic is too grainy too determine if the restaurant menu is halal. Anyone?
I suspect it’s the menu that’s too grainy. Fond of his roughage, that guy.
Those are good photos, you bring out the best in that building – and it does have some merit. Works better as a Gulag memorial than as a presidential legacy but hell, it ain’t my legacy.
