Obama Presidential Center set to open.

Not surprisingly, the low foreheaded MAGA droolers and nose-pickers are hung up on the notion that the building isn't "pretty" or "flashy" looking.

Like trump's wives.

Glossy, flashy, shiny, glittering .... big tits, etc.

But with no substance.

So typical and indicative of their low educated, simple-minded, uninformed, unenlightened, pedestrian Joe Sixpack tastes.

But like trump himself, any building with his name on it, will be all empty, flashy style and bluster with no substance or thoughtfulness or inspiring in its love and respect for the US or freedom or democracy or even decency.

Like his time in office, no higher ideals.

OTOH....

On the upper corner of the Obama Presidential Center, built right into the exterior structure of the building, is the following passage...

"You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

Not surprising that trump's followers completely overlook that just to disparage the seriousness of the building's appearance.

One can easily imagine what would be etched into trump's building....

  • "I know words. I have the best words."
  • "Nobody knows more about taxes than me, maybe in the history of the world."
  • "Nobody knows more about infrastructure than me."
  • "I know more about grass than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world."
  • "Individuals running for president or vice president should undergo a cognitive test. No president before me has ever taken one. I have taken three cognitive tests."
  • "Nobody’s ever been more successful than me."
  • "Nobody builds better walls than me."
  • "Nobody is bigger or better at the military than I am."
  • "I was always the best athlete, people don't know that. But I was successful at everything I ever did."
  • “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”
  • “I don't mean to brag, but I put together a puzzle in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.”
:rofl2:

Nobody takes the architectural design opinions of MAGA shit flingers seriously.

The building's architectural style is combination of modernism with overtones of brutalism, a style whose main feature is raw concrete exteriors.

Brutalist architecture is not everybody's cup of tea, but some of the greatest architects in modern history were proponents of it.

Nils Schweitzer, an award winning architect and one time protogé of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the main downtown branch of the Orlando Public Library in the brutalist style....

..... people seem to love it.

I don't think Obama or the more sophisticated residents of Chicago are going to lose any sleep over the opinions of a bunch of MAGA nose-pickers.

The author of that hilarious (and scathing) piece is a British writer for the Guardian, and the people quoted included the architects the Obama Foundation hired and local residents. I doubt any of those folks are "MAGA nose-pickers".

Being handed one of the worse economy's we have had in years and digging us out of it in your eyes must have been a very bad thing I see.
Seems he had his hands full repairing things Bush fucked up.
Fact is 12 out of the last 13 Recessions started under a Republican President and it was a Dem. President that got us out of them.
Republicans are NOT good for our economy Dems are.

Exactly how did he do that? Saying it is one thing. Proving it is another.

The piece is neither hilarious nor scathing.

Mildly sarcastic and sardonic, but nothing more.

Whose name is Oliver Wainwright, who is also known to be openly gay ...

....and when it comes to critiquing matters of style or appearance, everyone knows how negatively opinionated gay men can be.

Sounds more like he was trying to entice readers than to give an honest assessment.

I wasn't talking about them.

I was talking about you, your fellow JPP "critics" and the MAGA world in general which we know will all be marching in lock-step on the subject.

Personally I find the building to be very interesting and provocative.

You can bet trump's will be tacky, flashy and cheap looking just like his wives and everything else he touches.
 
That building is fugly, way over budget, was way over construction schedule and has cost the taxpayers of Chicago 300 million so far. A typical democrat cluster fuck.

Well as per what economists say you have to spend your way out of a recession / depression and he did, to the tune of about 8 Trillion dollars over the 8 years he was in.
Yes he ran up the debt, but Every Republican president we have had in the last 35 years or so has too, Reagan almost tripled it, Bush doubled it , Obama added almost 8 Trillion in 8 years and Trump added almost as much ( 8 trillion ) in his first 4 years and has added almost another 3 Trillion already in his second term, yes almost 11 Trillion in just over 5 years 5 months.
You have to agree when Obama took over we were in a DEEP recession almost a depression and he got us back on track.
And it is a fact that 12 out of the last 13 Recessions we have had were started under a Republican President, Republicans run us into recessions and run up the debt and Dems get us out of them.
