Locals Rip Obama Over Latest Update To Controversial Presidential Library

“The words are cut off. The Ts, Ls, and Is are indistinguishable,” former investment banker and best-selling author John LeFevre noted on X, adding that the structure “Looks like a trash can.”

Temple University Professor Jacob Shell also said that the E’s are also “indistinguishable from F’s,” and that “multiple words get disjointed — not just on one plane but two.”

“Truly, one of the most headache-inducing reading experiences I’ve ever had,” Shell said after trying to read the script.

“They somehow managed to make the Obama presidential library even uglier,” conservative influencer Johnny Maga said bluntly. “My gosh.”

In addition to the eyesore, many residents of Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood, near the Obama Presidential Center, face a difficult situation: they must either pay more rent or risk losing their house.

At Chaney Braggs Apartments, located at 65th Street and Stony Island Avenue, the nearly two dozen tenants announced the formation of a union.

According to the group, a potential buyer intends to either renovate or completely demolish their building. Rent would increase in either case.

According to the tenants, a few other organizations joined them on Thursday morning in an effort to maintain the affordability of their apartments.

“I want to stay right where I’m at. I don’t want to be forced out. I don’t want to be told I have to leave. I want to be able to stay,” said resident Kyana Butler. “I want to be able to let my daughter, and I want her to grow up in the same building I grew up in.”

Valerie Jarrett, CEO of the Obama Foundation and a senior adviser during President Obama’s two terms, highlighted that he has played an active role in shaping the design of his library.

“I wish that people could be a fly on the wall to see how many times in the course of the day that I hear from President Obama about ideas for the center, tweaks, programming, and what we can do for the design,” Jarrett said when asked.
