Books and educational materials are like KRYPTONITE to people that admire Obonzo.

You can't make this stuff up:



Unlike traditional presidential libraries, the Obama Presidential Center will not actually have library materials. That is—it will not house former President Obama’s manuscripts, documents, letters, and gifts from his tenure in office—items presidential centers around the country all have.

Instead, it will include space for outdoor functions and picnics, a basketball court, recording studio, sledding hill, children’s play garden, and more.

As for the actual library documents, the center will rely online archives for Obama’s presidential materials as a way to avoid meeting federal standards in construction, raising money for an endowment, and paying the National Archives and Records Administration to run the facility. “This is going to be completely different,” said Foundation CEO David Simas, reports The Chicago Tribune. “What the president and first lady said … is they simply did not want a museum that served as a mausoleum, as a way to look back.”



The sheer arrant phoniness of this man and his media enablers was, for eight long years, simply stunning -- and, of course, That's How You Got Trump. But to build a "presidential library" and then leave the library part out... is somehow exactly what we would expect of a man who probably never darkened a library door in his life.
