John Kass | Bring on the Obama Presidential Temple!

John Kass, Chicago Tribune:

I’m changing my mind on the Obama presidential library.

Once I was opposed, thinking the last thing Chicago needed was a multimillion-dollar Temple of Presidential Lies on parkland.

But I’ve since "evolved" after having my brain hit by wave after wave of positive, gushing, unctuous cheerleading news reports about how wonderful the library will be for all.

Oh, and because the Democratic Bosses and Mayor Rahm Emanuel and now Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner support Obama Temple legislation, because the Temple of Obama is a good thing.

The legislation also would strip away the basis for a lawsuit by opponents of a George Lucas "Star Wars" museum on the lakefront, but that’s probably just an amazing Chicago Way coincidence.

So in the name of Montgomery Ward and the forever open and free lakefront (except for the "Star Wars" museum because Rahm wants it), I’ve decided to support the Obama plan.

More.

    "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

    Remember the Ebola crisis, democrats/liberals
    tried to blame PHONY CDC Budget cut on republicans
    and conservatives. They already start to blame this
    Philadelphia amtrak derailment on budget cut.

    Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188 was supposed to
    travel 50MPH, but it actually travelled 100+MPH
    when it derailed.

    Amtrak crash hits home for lawmakers, who respond by, yes, cutting funding

    But just because the accident struck close to
    home does not mean Congress will increase an
    already shrunken budget for transportation.
    Just hours after the derailment, which
    claimed at least seven lives and left scores
    more injured, the
    House Appropriations Committee held an
    uncomfortably timed markup of its annual
    transportation spending bill and moved
    forward with a $250 million cut from last
    year’s Amtrak funding of approximately
    $1.3 billion.
    …

    “The victims could have been any one of our
    parents, children or someone from one of
    our communities. Amtrak is like a second
    family to me, as it is for so many other
    passengers,” Biden said. “For my entire
    career, I’ve made the trip from
    Wilmington to Washington and back. I’ve
    come to know the conductors, engineers
    and other regulars — men and women
    riding home to kiss their kids good
    night — as we passed the flickering
    lights of each neighborhood along the
    way.”

    We are going to have the temple to the ONE whether we like it or not. So the south side of Chicago is perfect. I would like to visit Hawaii one of these days.
    I wonder if Obama will claim that the reason white/Asian/Indian/etc people do not visit his temple is because they are racist versus that it is an area that is not exactly the safest in the world.
    I think we should stock the temple with NIKE shoes, rare Air Jordans, toilet paper, liqueur, just lots of "stuff". So if the day ever comes where there is a riot in Chicago it can be a temple of looting since that is a big part of Obama legacy.

    All joking aside. I am guessing that Obama is putting his temple in the south side of Chicago because I don’t think history will be kind to him and if the temple is there maybe someone will visit it once in a while.
