Please, Mr. Obama, skip the test kitchen, make it a museum
The Obama library is being constructed entirely with donated funds, and will cost the taxpayers nothing at all.

Did you hallucinate something in that article that I'm not seeing? Nothing it in contradicts anything I've said.
Illinois was going to pony up $100 million of their state funds but I don't know what came of that..
Illinois lawmakers squabble over funding for Obama library
Nothing came of it. That article is from 4 years ago.
I see that. Evidently the Trump Administration squashed that idea by increasing the federal requirements for a sustaining endowment. It's all up to the rich liberals now.
Obama has to come up with the money to build it but I believe the National Archives and Records Administration.does spend some federal funds for the upkeep of other Presidential libraries: $67 million in 2015.
Obama Foundation’s daunting task: Raising money for his library
Obama's library will not be part of the NARA network, and will not be kept up by any taxpayer funds.
Now I am confused. Isn't NARA funded by the federal government?
"PLEASE CONTACT BOTH YOUR U.S. SENATORS and ask them to add $22 million to NARA's budget over the House recommendation -- this figure includes $2 million needed to repair the Main Archives building that just this week suffered flood damage; funds to make up the $12 million shortfall reflected in the President's proposed budget; and funds to restore an additional $8 million cut recently agreed to by the House of Representatives."
Historians call on congress to save NARA's funding
NARA is part of the Federal Government. But Obama's library will not be part of NARA.
Presidential Libraries Are a Scam. Could Obama Change That?

The Presidential libraries are still federally-maintained though, right?
"Following Roosevelt’s example, thirteen other Presidents have established Presidential Libraries. Congress legislated this policy under the Presidential Libraries Act in 1955 (amended in 1986), establishing a system of privately erected and federally maintained facilities for preserving and making accessible the papers, records, and other historical materials of U.S. Presidents."
NARA & the Presidential Libraries
Obamas criticized for lavish library plans, including 'test kitchen'
Someone might want to tell Barry that we aren't talking about his own personal mansion or a combination mansion-YMCA...it's a LIBRARY....and that the American tax dollars won't be going to build this 'monument' to himself.
Lol, that lie was debunked.According to people that know him better then your imagination HE DOES NOT read his intelligence briefs, is uninformed, unfit to serve and spends 8-10 hours of TV a day.Obama is a reader, a voracious reader.Bet there will be actually be BOOKS in there too - Obama reads
Obama's library will consist of a copy of Karl Marx's "Das Kapital", Mao's little red book, and some of those porn magazines with the nude pictures him mom posed for.
Trump is a nonreader. He doesn’t even like to read his intelligence briefs.
Gets his news from Fox and Friends.
That should say something to you about FOX News. They wouldn't lie to you and tell you that he doesn't get intelligence briefings.
Don't worry, President Trump is the most informed person in this country. He finds out about things before they get to FOX news, then trickle down the CNN and MSNBC.
But you thinking he’s the “ most informed person in the country” shows me you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Actually-
Some Libraries have also received construction and development funding from state and/or local governments.

No American tax dollars go to any of the Presidential libraries and this won't be any different. You are of course just lying again.
To attack Obama again.
I am pretty sure we won't find any record of Easy ever attacking Bush's 500 million presidential library....

NARA & the Presidential Libraries
NARA maintains 13 Presidential libraries - Hoover to Bush II.
They will not be maintaining the Obama library, and they do not maintain the 30 or so libraries for Presidents prior to those mentioned above.
Actually-
Some Libraries have also received construction and development funding from state and/or local governments.

First of all, that page is at least 7 months out of date, because the Obama library will not be part of NARA.
Secondly, I have found zero evidence that Obama is getting any grants from local or state governments to build his library. If you have such evidence, feel free to show it.

How is a Presidential Library paid for and funded?
A Presidential Library is constructed with private or non-Federal funds donated to non-profit organizations established usually for the express purpose of building a Presidential Library and supporting its programs.
Some Libraries have also received construction and development funding from state and/or local governments.
The Library is then transferred to the Federal government and operated and maintained by NARA through its congressionally appropriated operating budget.
Some staff and programs at Presidential Libraries are paid for with funds from associated private foundations organized to fund the construction of the Library. These private foundations also provide continuing support for Library programs and special events, such as conferences and exhibitions.

What's ironic about the Obama Library is that when local community organizers asked that the library pledge to hire a certain percentage of local people to work at the library...Barry said no. Guess he's not "down" with the folks from the South Side so much anymore now that he doesn't need their votes. Just saying...
