Quote:Former first lady Michelle Obama suggested that former President Barack Obama could build his presidential library anywhere around the world because people in foreign countries feel like he is their president.

Michelle Obama explained at Tuesday's Obama Foundation Summit at the Illinois Institute of Technology that Chicago's Jackson Park was selected as the location for the Obama Presidential Center because it is close to the couple's old home and near her childhood home.

“There’s power in the selection of Jackson Park,” the former first lady said. “Barack and I don’t do things incidentally. There’s a strategy.”

“Barack’s presidential library could have been anywhere in the world because there are so many people who feel like he is their president,” Obama said. “New York wanted it. Hawaii wants it. Because it’s also an economic engine."

She is so out of touch. The fire brigades would never be able to keep up.

Why not Kenya... there's no place like home.

That was one of his biggest problems. He forgot he wasn't president of the world. He didn't do the job he was elected to, president of the USA.

I agree with Michelle. I felt like Obama was the best president some of the foreign countries ever had.

Libya would have been a good spot.

They really think he's loved everywhere.

He is not loved in the American south.

He's certainly not loved in my particular corner of the American south. And especially not in the part of that corner occupied by my house. I have no love for any collectivist/socialist/communist.

Or in the midwest, mountain west or even the east and west coasts in the conservative half of households.

Their president more than ours.

Yes there is a strategy, first outlined by Saul Alinsky.
