Obama Presidential Center is a disaster, like his presidency | Opinion
Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, are opening the Obama Presidential Center on June 19 in Chicago – an eight-story shrine to themselves built largely at everyone else's expense.
The day before, a star-studded crowd – Bill and Hillary Clinton, Stevie Wonder, John Legend – gathered to celebrate the sprawling 19-acre campus, complete with a public library branch, basketball court, restaurant, playground and ticketed museum.
Despite the glitzy fanfare, the monstrosity stands as a monument to hypocrisy and the Obamas' unrelenting hunger for the spotlight, a legacy project for a presidency that disappointed more Americans than its architects care to admit.

The Obama Presidential Center is a disaster
The project honoring one couple cost $850 million to build – the most expensive presidential center ever constructed, and it isn't close. While the buildings and exhibits were financed through private donations, Illinois taxpayers have spent approximately $123.3 million on infrastructure (road reconfigurations, utility relocations), with that figure expected to approach $200 million by completion.
Nearby residents say construction drove rents up 43% and pushed home prices higher. The Obama Foundation, which had hoped to establish a $470 million endowment, currently holds only about $1 million in endowment funding.
The project has also been a nightmare for local workers and subcontractors who say they're still owed money, the opposite of the economic boost they were promised. Mike Owen, owner of Adamson Plumbing, says he is owed almost $4 million after years on the job.
"That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive," Owen told Fox News Digital.
