It's actually called the Barack Obama Presidential Center because his Presidential Library is digital. (The physical copies of his documents will be preserved in a National Archives and Records Administration facility elsewhere.)

So it has no use at all, just a monument to his ego?

Just like his presidency so it's at least fitting.

Obama.org says it is a place "where people from around the world come to get inspired and bring change home"

If there ever was a testiment to obama-drone presidency, i suppose a massive wasteful brutalist building would be fitting.

I get that its supposed to be quoting something, but that building is hard to read. It looks like a word scramble

The hubris needed to have a .org website of your last name.

Edit: bush.org is available. Somebody get it so we can have it redirect to here or make a forum dedicated to different trim styles for your pubes
