No Tax Money for Bears!
Look!!! Over there!!! The Bears want taxpayer money for infrastructure improvements while they build a stadium with their own money that will be an economic powerhouse wherever they land!
When the Obama Presidential Center opens next month, and its funders are honored and congratulated, there are two major financial contributors worthy of a bow or two: Chicago and Illinois taxpayers.
The Chicago Department of Transportation said it has spent $123.3 million since 2022 on capital projects aimed at remaking the roadways and green space in Jackson Park and around the center.
And there’s still more work to be done. The final public infrastructure costs are likely to approach $200 million.
The costs are not part of the presidential center’s privately-funded $850 million price tag.
Wait, what?
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm."
The Center isn't open yet, but the Grift Gift Shop is. You can buy Sparklefart souvenirs, some cheap bling, a $400 wind powered generator kit, and:
- You can even buy a copy of (Saul Alinsky's) Rules for Radicals – The book liberals denied had any connection to Obama or his policies.
You can get it for half the price over on Amazon though.

So. Obama is selling "a $400 wind powered generator kit."
Obama-era 'clean energy' solar power plant still uses fossil fuels – and kills thousands of birds annually

Obama-backed $2.2B green energy 'boondoggle' leaves taxpayers on the hook

Solyndra: A Case Study in Green Energy, Cronyism, and the Failure of Central Planning
...the failure of Solyndra, the solar panel company that was well connected to the Obama administration. Top leaders of a troubled solar panel company that cost taxpayers a half-billion dollars repeatedly misled federal officials and omitted information about the firm’s financial prospects as they sought to win a major government loan...The Silicon Valley start-up’s dramatic rise and then collapse into bankruptcy two years later...

So go worship at the Huge Concrete Object...
The Obama Center is not even a Presidential Library. It is a center for promoting progressive socialism. Hence the book, "Rules For Radicals" that is promoted there. Media person and author Ben Shapiro said Mayor Zohran Mamdani NYC and President Obama have basically the same political socialist views except that Obama does a better job in hiding those views.
So after Obama and his Democrat friends stole the Chicago Park District property and the taxpayers have to contribute 200 million for infrastructure why didn't he and Mooshell drop some cash because they are rolling in dough. Don't forget to bring $30.00 and a govt ID to enter to be brainwashed.
What about bait for fishing in the lagoon
Sounds like a great place for a teen takeover.
what gets me is how all these people pay big money for tickets to go to the game, pay big money to eat and drink at the game to watch some multi-millionaire's play, yet they believe their democRATic politicians that say "those people" are oppressed, poor and under-represented in America and then after the game they hurry back home because it ain't safe to be around that neighborhood
I can’t wait to never go
I rather have a property tax refund
Sometimes you can even snag a dead body.
The Ozero Center would be a good place to leave an "upper decker" dump in one of the restrooms.
Where is the Maxwell Street Polish Sausage trailer going to be.
Jussie Smolete will be the official greater serving the black VIPs Tuna finger sandwiches and lemonade.
Don’t worry if it’s a big flop O Bama’s Chicago neighbors and friends Bill Ayer’s and Bernadine Dorn will handle the demolition with SDS playbook just like the old days.
you would never see a teen takeover at a fucking library...lol books are like krptonite
Only stupid democrats believe that shit, normal thinking people know better
Chicago Bears PLEASE go to Indiana. In the long run you’ll avoid all the Illinois political shakedowns, BLM protest for jobs (that most are not qualified to do) and so much more to derail construction. I won’t even rant about what the unions would demand and my projection of the multi-million dollars over run. So please, go to Indiana and have a much better quality of life. Besides, fat ass in Springfield should have been involved with talks over the Arlington project years ago. Now he’s scrambling to showcase himself as the best deal in town.
Hey, is the Foster ave bridge over the Kennedy finished yet?
At least he ain't a billionaire like the Bears owners. All stadiums lose huge amounts of cash for the governments that pay for them. If it's such a great deal, let the McCaskeys go to the banks for the money.
They already McFucked Chicago & we still owe close to $500 million on the bonds to rebuild Soldier Field, so we shouldn't let them McFuck Illinois for yet another stadium.
let them fuck over the idiots in Indiana & they will see their sales taxes go up & their real estate taxes double to pay for a stadium, they won't ever be able to afford to go to!
How long until the CTU drags the students there for indoctrination?
No one cares where the Bears play. Truth be told, Indiana will build a much nicer stadium, and the experience of going to a game will be much more pleasant than going to the infrastructure deteriorated, crime ridden streets of Chicago.
Also, I wonder how long it will be until the homeless are camped on the doorstep of Obamas monument to socialism. It will be interesting to see how they handle that issue. I am willing to bet that there will be a foot patrol officer assigned there. (at first)
There's no amount of taxpayers money that's too much for the champagne socialists.
But...It has a basketball court.....
Anyone for....a game of ...
Midnight Basketball !
eat white castle burgers for 3 days.....then, go visit the library.
One thing that isn't mentioned is that this isn't his library, his library is funded by the government. Where will that be because it sure won't be Illinois.
Naaaaw, that would be useful.
I'm sure that the Board of Ed and CTU will be having field trips to the Temple of Obama for every student every year. Of course, school system will have to spend tax payer money for admission and other assorted fees and costs.
Government IDs are racist!
from an unknown community organizer without any outstanding accomplishments to POTUS. He would've made a darn good violence interrupter in Chicago. That phony ghost group have no accomplishments.
Summed it up perfectly
How will black people get in? All the top Democrats have said black people cannot get government IDs.
Why would I need an ID to enter this monument to democratic ideologies? Seems racist and unfair to the lesser classes and smacks of elitism.
I’m laughing out loud…
You should send that rant tot he Bears organization. Its likely they don't read a police blog.
Actually, its not. Presidential libraries are always privately funded by their bigger supporters. Trumps library is already paid for like the ballroom.
If any actual communist wants a copy of Rules for Radicals, he / she will just steal it. From each according to his ability to each according to his need, after all.
A BTC money scam has happened to hide fraud and S corp transactions via federal government pay to play programs
The lagoon is for dead bodies like Obama's chef who was a collegiate swimmer and drowned in 5 feet of water. And just in case Hillary needs to stop by and unload some baggage.
Here's to hoping the Bears land in Indiana. Fat Ass and Conehead need a good kick in the pants. Clown world. Honk-Honk!
Library? That building doesn't have a single book in it other than in the overpriced gift shop.
CPS will pick up the cost of the entrance fee and send the bill to Chicago taxpayers.
Recently retired WOL. There will be 2 coppers assigned to the foot post known as Obama Center. 2 coppers 24-7, 365. Will always be there.
Why don't they pay for their own security?
