Barack Obama’s presidential library may need $1.5 billion | Page Six

Obama scrupulously declined to do much fundraising while he was still in office.

I guess the taxpayers get to foot the bill because The Great Campaigner didn't raise enough money.

Maybe Trump can give him a small loan

Nope. They are funded by private donations and sometimes cities and local governments chip in. The main reason this one is so expensive is because all PLs are donated back to federal government and the fed is now requiring a larger endowment to cover all future operating costs.

Good to see VolNation suddenly concerned about presidential spending and fundraising again.

Hillary should have some money left over. Ha

So in effect taxpayers do pay for these things (not just Obama's) if the endowment doesn't cover operating expenses.

Affirmative Action libraries are expensive.

This library is gonna be in an outlying area of poor neighborhoods. They've been making some progress with cleaning up the area and bringing new construction in the area since the fallout of the Olympics.

OP's article states W's library was $500M. That's a lot of ****ing coloring books.

Trump's Library is just going to be filled with his every tweet etched on marble tablets.

I can't think of anything snappy about Obama's library. Give me a minute

Obama's got a tile floor mural with CA divided into 8 regions, revealing what was his plan for 57 states.

Maybe he will have his birth certificate on display and his prayer rug.

Trump's library will be covered, floor to ceiling, in cheap gold and silver plate. It will have the Video Access video playing 24/7. A painting of dogs playing poker will hang in a place of prominence. A hotel will be attached, a wonderful hotel I must tell you. Really, no question about how huge it is. Believe me.

His will be like walking into a 6 star hotel. Employees will wear tuxedos.

This is so true but really the place would be a dump. His Vegas hotel is not even close to be worth the cost. No casino, off the strip but charges strip prices.
