Does Obama’s presidential library actually look like an ’80s cartoon villain lair?

[Anonymous]

Hey, I voted for Barry the first time, but let's be honest this building is a disaster. I am however glad he built it on this house side and trying to bring up a bad neighborhood bit.

Yes its a terrible building we paid $850 million for

No I love it!

It is an odd looking building. It doesn't look inviting like I would expect a presidential library to look like.

I an definitely see how it could look like a vlian's lare, especially like some Scooby Doo cartoon one. Hey, at least people say they enjoyed it.

lol, you nailed it with the scooby doo inspiration! There's a word for that... double entendra? in other words, maybe it's all scarier than we'd like to think?

[Masie]

@lightbulb27 it really does remind me of something I would see in that cartoon. It was the first thing that popped in my head.

[lightbulb27]

struck me as the last movie when you said it... I might have to veg watch that again, I got through childhood with that cartoon, lol.

Well it’s not the prettiest building I have seen but judging from the outside physical appearance it doesn’t look like a disaster to me.

[Asker]

I agree... But the cost for me hits a little hard.

I just did a research it said the taxpayers money wasn’t used to build Obama’s library.

[Asker]

Apparently it was built for free... A lot of the contractors have not been paid yet :(

We will give it some time because the building hasn’t been open for that long. If they don’t get paid within a certain time period then they should go to court.

It’s hardly an architectural wonder…


I’ve seen buildings in 3rd world countries who look a lot nicer and much more complex and aesthetically pleasing.


But it’s a taste thing as well.
It’s not universally ugly.

It looks like Barack Hussein Obama on all fours waiting for Big Mike to serve up some man meat in the bedroom.

no. it is ugly. look at villain sea lairs in james bond. cool fancy shapes. this is more like teen titans of dc or team go in kimpossible world.

[MisterWack]

Tbh I don’t like the design. To say it looks like a villain’s lair would be an insult to great designs in cartoons of coming up with lairs for evil plans.

I wished it looked better.

[MisterWack]

I missed an opportunity to say I hate Trump’s tacky “rich” look he filled The White House with.
If you compare Epstein Island to it, it seems very similar in design plus it looks Temu version of rich and successful. Epstein was an irl villain to the children he exploited so, do with that what you will.

It was designed by the same guy that desigend the WW2 observation towers.

It is ugly but "we" didn't pay for anything. Presidential libraries are privately funded 100% unlike when we pay Trump to golf.

[Asker]

Did other presidents golf as well?

[Lesbologist]

I hear he hasn't paid a bunch of people that worked on it. Typical Democrat. Waste money, doesn't pay people that work.

[darkcloud1945]

Because it looks like it was designed by a blind person with all of his taste in his mouth

[Cidknee]

It looks as ridiculous as his 2 terms were!

[Cidknee]

Yeah, it's a bust.

[Dargil]

Looks like a prison.
