Obama library battle heats up
USA Today, by David Jackson

Original Article

Posted By:NorthernDog, 3/17/2013 10:47:44 AM

March Madness is here, and the competition is getting intense. And the battle for President Obama´s library appears to have boiled down two finalists: Chicago and Hawaii. Universities and community groups in both places are busy lobbying the president´s people for the facility that the contestants see as an economic and cultural boon. (Snip) "Advocates for placing the library in Chicago speak of Obama´s coming of age as a community organizer there and his service in the Illinois Senate and as the state´s U.S. senator. They say a presidential library on the city´s South Side could revitalize the community

Imagine putting it in Chi-Town. Free bullet-proof vests when you visit!

Who, in their right mind would visit a presidential library on the Southside of Chicago? These people do live in an alternate universe!

His library? How about we buy him his old rusted out choom vehicle, modify it with shelves and card catalog, add books and such and spin it around the country´s roads and highways. The Obomba Bookmobile at your service. It comes to you, you´ve no need to travel to the ends of the earth to visit it. It was good enough for many baby boomers way back when. It´s good enough for Junior

If the library selection committee should decide on Chi-Town, over Nairobi, Jakarta and Honolulu, what better location than William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn´s home in Hyde Park where the "great political adventure" began?

To expand on Reply 2´s comment, why not convert the two Canadian built campaign buses paid for by taxpayers into rolling libraries? Neither of the two expensive buses had much use, and both are apparently collecting dust in DC. Could have a national contest to name the buses. For ex, Obusma and the Moochmobile. Or, Under The and He was a BUSt.

Name of library should prominently feature "as ghost written by Bill Ayers". Bio for Obama should be the one that mentioned his Kenyan origin, as featured on his book jacket until he ran for president,

Gives me another reason to avoid and hate that town (besides the Chicago Bears). Plus Chicago really isn´t that appealing of a place to go.

Hawaii, on the other hand, although full of liberals, is still a beautiful group of islands (especially if you can limit yourself to only a day or two on Oahu and head to one of the other islands the rest of the trip). Please don´t spoil it with any more Obama memorials/libraries/monstrosities.

These modern-day presidential libraries are like temples to "me" and have only as much real "truth" for public consumption as the PR staff of said President allows. I truly only really love Ronald Reagan´s library. I suspect Obama´s will be so $$$$$ and huge that all the others will look small.

Yes. Two Libraries at twelve times the cost. One will house the Koran and nothing else. I think that should be in the East (that is, Chicago). The one in western Obamaland (that would be in The Peoples Republic of Honolulu) should house Rules for Radicals and nothing else.

His bronze in front will be of him and his rediculus golf putting stance. The building should be a series of Boeing 747´s as he spent more time there than in the Oval Office. The walkway to the front door needs to be carpeted with $100 bills signifying all the vacations he took.

And the entrance needs to be a hospital emergency room void of any equipment and lined with corpses signifying his distraction of the health care system.

Bargain hunters rummaging around Argentina’s largest flea market, La Salada, have been duped into spending hundreds of dollars on what they have been told is the dog of their dreams. In reality, they’ve just been sold what locals call the ‘Brazilian rat’ – a ferret pumped up on steroids and groomed to resemble a fluffy toy poodle.

The strike late Saturday in the Shigal district of restive Kunar province near Pakistan was called by coalition forces after they and their Afghan counterparts came under an attack that killed one American advisor and badly wounded four Afghan troops.

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

The US defence department has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next week at an air force base in California amid mounting tensions with North Korea, according to a senior official. Defence secretary Chuck Hagel reportedly decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the Korean crisis. "This is the logical, prudent and responsible course of action to take," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The test was not connected to the ongoing annual

BOISE, Idaho — Authorities in eastern Idaho are investigating the shooting deaths of two men and a woman whose bodies were found in a home that contained a marijuana grow operation. The deaths took place sometime between Thursday afternoon and evening by someone who had some type of relationship with the victims, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said. The bodies were discovered Friday outside Holbrook, a town of about 400 people just north of the Idaho-Utah state line. Authorities said a 2-month-old was found under the arm of one of the victims — 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
