Who the hell cares. I would like to hear what the current administration and Congress plan to do to lower the cost of living. If idiots want to work for free for a guy who hasn’t been in office for a decade then feel free.

And there will be a line out the door of people to do it during their off hours from protesting.

Someone should remind Obama that his own Department of Labor ruled that the minimum wage requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act were non-waivable. Obama tried to kill volunteer work as president due to his insane DOL.

The library has been plagued by lawsuits from a local park commission.

Just another Obama grift. Biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. Where is the money coming from to pay Jarrett?

During her tenure as U.S. Secretary of Labor (2009–2013), Hilda Solis oversaw the Department of Labor (DOL) during a period of rising scrutiny regarding unpaid internships, volunteerism, and minimum wage violations. Under her leadership, the DOL issued stricter guidelines in 2010 to determine if interns could legally be unpaid, emphasizing that they must be the "primary beneficiary" of the educational experience and not displace paid staff.


So rich to see Obama totally doing the opposite of what his administration decreed for the rest of us.

I wish Candace Owens would investigate the drowning of the Obamas’ chef like she has Charlie Kirk.

It's sickening what that abomination of a building has done to Jackson Park. It was the fairgrounds for the 1893 Columbian Exposition and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's also a significant nature preserve and migratory stop for birds.

The Protect Our Parks group presented archeologically significant areas of the grounds that would be destroyed by the construction, but of course, an Obama-appointed judge dismissed their lawsuits.

Thanks. I had heard in articles for a decade now the poor people of Chicago were pissed.

I imagine a tall ugly building to look at the narcissist black Jesus and big Mike is nauseating.

He moved all of his records by the Sears building and will keep his shitty Presidency classified.

Should have sued for having to be apart of that atrocious looking building. That is just down right horrendous in a city where buildings are supposed to be majestic. Maybe Obama should have let Trump develop the architecture for him

That can't be the final look of it, can it? It looks like a bombed out building in Oradour-sur-Glane France from WW2.

Aesthetic Backlash:

 Many online observers and locals have described the structure as an "ugly," "tumscent shorn obelisk" that appears, "all cement with no windows".

Design Comparisons: Critics have likened the building to a "North Korean guard tower", a "siege tower," or a "big muzzle".

Neighborhood Impact: The project faces criticism for destroying part of the historic Jackson Park and driving gentrification, with fears of displacement among South Side residents.

Cost and Delays: Construction costs have reportedly grown significantly over budget, now estimated at over $850 Million.
