@barackobama.bsky.social this is just one more thing for the fascists to burn down. I recommend that you join @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social before it’s too late.
Looks good. Trump will probably want a castle built with lots of gold. A library would be worthless. He doesn’t read and he has done worthwhile for this country. He is useless.
That's gonna push Trump's "Jealousy Button." He'll probably be truthing about his library (the greatest library!) within a few days.
Also it gives Donnie another chance to grift!
Meanwhile Donald Trump is at Maralago reading the only book he's ever read (it's by Adolph Hitler!) and the only book he'll have in his own Presidential Library, which will most likely never be built!
Planning a trip to see the beautiful Barack Obama Library as soon as it is opened.
All Libraries are beautiful.
Barack Library is tribute to the constitution, the rule of law and
Democracy.
Forever Americas protector and inspiration.
Each library reflects the unique time and legacy of that president. For example, the Kennedy Library focuses on the 1960s and space exploration, while the Reagan Library includes a section on the Cold War.
Your points are true about presidential libraries... but the Obama Center isn't one. It's a private institution that will not have a government archives, and which NARA will not operate.
2. Run by the National Archives – Most presidential libraries are managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which makes sure everything is preserved and available for public research.
1. Started with Franklin D. Roosevelt – He was the first to create a presidential library in 1941. Before that, presidential papers were often lost, sold, or scattered.
The United States, it's a tradition for former presidents to have a presidential library created in their name. These libraries are not like regular public libraries—they're museums and archives that hold documents, photos, videos, and other important records from a president's time in office.
I'm sure DOJ will have to step in to insist erasing the fact we had a Black president. Married to a Black woman. With children too! The horror. #RESIST
I’m not a bot and I read. Fire by Allen and Parnes. The undermining of Harris for President, not just by voters but the Dems behind the scenes. Bill & HRC endorsed whole heartedly, Bill wanted to strategize on messaging on her behalf. Campaign staff made up of Biden’s team, wouldn’t listen. She and
and Walz were fkd from the get go. Harris’s loyalty to Biden also made her stumble. Clyburn outmaneuvered Obama; a man of his word. Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe’s ego. Made me sad n mad. I thought we were ALL on the same team-No on trump!
Ironic to think that there will one day be a Trump Library. Trump admits he doesn't read books, and staff say he can't last through a 3-page briefing memo
At least with the GW Bush Library, Bush himself has read every book that it contains . . . and he can tell you where Waldo is in each of them.
Although presid. libraries are a long-standing tradition, building homes are not = building libraries.
However,
"The mission of presidential libraries is to safeguard a president’s papers and to offer an impartial record of his or her time in office."
"The Obamas want to create a safe, warm, inviting place that brings people in, teaches them something new and inspires them to create change in their own communities.."
It would appear (searched for five mins before posting), the OPC plans in conjunction w/ the city.. is to preserve the surrounding Woodlawn community, includ maintaining affordable housing.
So before you ever so slightly move the goal post in a reply.. just don't.
Housing concerns were addressed.
I got to visit Chicago once. It really does live up to its name as the Windy City. I loved it. And I look forward to visiting this library sometime in the future.
When traveling west on Amtrak, I LOVE having an 8-hour Chicago layover! It's the most relaxing day, going to the top of the Sears Tower, replicating everything they did in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, & ending with a heavenly walk along the Lake Michigan waterfront, before hopping back on the train!
What books will a future Trump Presidential Library contain? Let your mind go free. Hulk Hogan`s autobiography? The Intimate Diary of Linda Lovelace? Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Madam?
If cheato rapist traitor corrupt trump can run for a third term so can Obama and Bush fuck it. We have to vote and fight this corruption and lawlessness America vote like your country retirement benefits children's Future depends on it because they all do
So sad that if the USA continues on its current trajectory, this library will never open and thousands of others (all?) will close. Fascism cannot abide by truth and history, nor tolerate celebration of anyone who is not white, male, and "one of us."
The digital version of Obama's library / archive of his term in office should be online unless DOGE (President Muskrat) fucked up NARA ( National Archives and Records Administration)
What a silly idea....but I guess it is jobs,right?. Not to diss Obama,be side he was a really good president ,except for the red line debacle at the end of his presidency; other than that ,I praise Obama.... Michelle would make a great president,in my humble opinion
who pays for this library? how much will be the total cost? when will it be finished. Is a Presidential Library constructed for every president? If not, who decides a Library is to be constructed?
interesting replies. I wasn't casting 'asparagus' on the library at all. i was just asking for information. i don't understand how you all could think this 'hurt' me. I'm an old fart and maybe i just don't understand current approaches for information. sorry 'bout that.
I believe most presidents since hoover have a library. The presidential library system is part of NARA, USUALLY the construction is paid for by private donations and once completed and the building is donated to the government, NARA operates and maintains it using federal funds from congress
It's not a presidential library. It won't be a presidential library. It has nothing to do with NARA. It doesn't receive any federal funds, nor will it.

If you are in a position to donate, the interface is very simple.
Also it gives Donnie another chance to grift!
His library will be a beacon of light 🌟
Wondering what he can do to jinx it.

(plus, added bonus, a splendid FU to Trump)
4. Purpose – They let the public learn about a president's time in office, and they help historians and researchers access important records.
1. Started with Franklin D. Roosevelt – He was the first to create a presidential library in 1941. Before that, presidential papers were often lost, sold, or scattered.
At the very least he's going to change the name, the spiteful little shit hands.
At least with the GW Bush Library, Bush himself has read every book that it contains . . . and he can tell you where Waldo is in each of them.

Thanks for sharing.
His legacy will be a great one. ❤️
@barackobama.bsky.social
will be haunted…
1st wall, filled of books that praise that him.
2nd wall, filled by nazi and white Christian nationalist propaganda
3rd wall, filled of propaganda merchandise and Americas top secret and classified documents
The last wall, filled of any topic for Dummies
His presidential library will only have pictures of him, real and AI generated. He knows anyone visiting it will be illiterate.
