Summary
"I found my purpose here, and I fortified my faith here, and I found my community here," Obama said. The whole event is like an alternate reality where the last 10 years never happened. Also in attendance during the June 16 pre-opening event were former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden.
Furthermore, KEITH: It has been an event, a place to see and be seen - four former presidents and first ladies; by my count, at least four potential presidential candidates for 2028; Oscar winners, Grammy winners, Oprah. The $470 backup fund was supposed to be the guarantee that Chicago and Illinois taxi drivers would not be on the hook to pay for the overruns. The situation is compounded by the fact that the Obama Foundation never funded the $470 million backup fund they agreed to bankroll in case costs ran over the Center's budget.
In addition, The Obama Presidential Center, a $850 million campus more than a decade in the making, officially opens to the public Friday. Adamson Plumbing owner Mike Owen, for instance, says he is owed $4 million by the Obama Center and it is a hole in his budget he might not be able to survive.
