Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of.
Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery.
It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego.
The reality, as most black people will admit, is that

This is a nothibgburger hikuday,
"On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln announced that the Emancipation Proclamation would go into effect on January 1, 1863, promising freedom to enslaved people in all of the rebellious parts of Southern states of the Confederacy including Texas.[31][32][c][d] Enforcement of the Proclamation generally relied upon the advance of Union troops. Texas, as the most remote state of the former Confederacy, had seen an expansion of slavery because the presence of Union troops was low as the American Civil War ended; thus, the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation had been slow and inconsistent there prior to Granger's order.[9] In all June 19, 1865, was 900 days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, 71 days after Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union on April 9, 1865, and 24 days after the disbanding of the Confederate military department covering Texas on May 26, 1865"

Slavery was long over. It just took a while for word to get to Texas. Joe's autopen made ir a natrional holiday in 2021. Obama was probably steering it.

Obongo sure did transform this country. It will take another generation or two to recover from the damage he did. And Juneteenth is a stupid and divisive idea. Yet we are told we are intolerant if we disagree. So be it!

As far as Juneteenth goes, no history has been hi-jacked since this made up holiday is just one more obnoxious relic of the Democrat Party riots of 2020. Scorn should be heaped upon the spineless Republicans who voted to enact this pseudo holiday.

The Klingon Prison is a perfect reflection of the brutal ugliness of his life and his evil heart. I keep hoping that he gets struck by lightning or some other fitting end.

That ugly gray tombstone is going to be the butt of jokes for years to come. It's awful although most of the other POTUS libraries are not much better. I always wondered who toured those things even if you were a big supporter. I guess school kids when the class was dragged to it on a trip.

When liberals point to Trump having a celebration on Flag Day, also his birthday, June 14th, just mentioned that this is standard operating procedure for president because look, Obama is doing the same thing after his own fashion. It's hypocrisy to complain about Trump and accept Obama and his Juneteenth stuff

Shut that damned evil "holiday" down. It's only designed to sow more racial animosity and distrust among a minority group of people. And for damned sure, start teaching the ENTIRE story of slavery in America, starting with the Irish and British slaves.

A fake American hijacking a fake holiday to open his replica of a Klingon Prison. Somehow, this all fits together.....into one large, stinking mess.

Re: #9.
I usually agree with your posts, have to provide some counterpoint to your second sentence.

I think the facts speak for themselves. While presidential libraries may not be the pinnacle of architectural grandure, most are nice looking buildings.
The Obama tombstone is one of the ugliest constructs that I can think of. The Soviets had an architectural style that is calle "Brutalist". This Zero thing certainly brings 'Brutalist architecture' to a new low.

DH and I enjoyed visiting the Nixon Library on one of our trips to CA and I think I have seen the Truman Library on a trip to Colorado many years ago. I enjoyed the Nixon Library, saw his presidential car and read about the missing minutes on the tape. Of course I remembered a lot about his presidency as I was paying attention to politics even back then.

Looking at that ugly library should make Americans glad that Obama did not decide to build the ballroom addition to the White House.

Juneteenth is the hijacking of a perfectly good day in June and named through the use of a lazy, sloppy abuse of the English language, as was Kwanza. Also get rid of Pride Month, which is an insult to 98% of America.

He and Big Mike remember their days pruning the ivy during their days at Princeton and Harvard, and that nostalgia is what inspires them day in and day out.

Juneteenth. Another day for federal government workers to have a paid day off, the post office to close, banks to close, and Black activists to remind all of us about the chip on their shoulder and have a bad attitude while lecturing us about how repressed they are.

He doesn't have to 'hijack' it. He can own and keep it.

While they are not much to look at, a alternative design that would have cost only $10mm, but amply able to store all of BHO's POTUS BS, can be seen in the many huge distribution warehouses put up by Amazon and Walmart.

Ronald Reagan's Presidential Library and Museum is regal and lovely. We took my dad there many moons ago. It's setting is stunning too. A million times better than this comic book evildoer fortress. What an abomination!

The Truman Library was the first Presidential Library I can recall. According to the Library itself
"The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum was established to preserve the papers, books, and other historical materials relating to former President Harry S. Truman and to make them available to the people in a place suitable for exhibit and research." Truman was not a seeker after special perks for himself . Back in independence, he was likely to walk to the drug store to get an ice cream cone, He had no secret service protection and when he left Washington drove himself and Mamie back home to Independence. There is a great Mural in his Library by Thomas Hart Benton. They became friends.
