Obama’s eyesore of a presidential center in Chicago opened barely three months ago and is now projected to cost three times more than originally estimated. How fitting!
Just weeks ago it was reported that employees at the center are already complaining about the working conditions and now this. Not to mention the contractors who were allegedly jilted out of money owed for work done.
At least Obama doesn’t have to worry about the extra costs. His party and all of their rich friends would never leave him hanging.

Obama’s billion-dollar baby: Chicago center’s price tag hits monumental milestone, tripling original estimate
The price tag for the beleaguered Obama Presidential Center is now projected to top $1 billion, nearly triple its original estimate, the foundation overseeing construction of the Chicago facility told Fox News Digital.
Confirmation of the 10-figure cost marks another chapter in the troubled history of the much-delayed project, which opened five years behind schedule amid controversy over its use of public parkland and claims that subcontractors were stiffed out of millions of dollars. It comes as newly released financial records reviewed by Fox News Digital offer a fresh look at the finances of the Obama Foundation, the former president’s private nonprofit that oversaw construction of the billion-dollar project.
