"What we want this to be is the world's premier institution for training young people in leadership to make a difference in their countries, in their communities and in the world," he said." The Obama center is no longer just the dream blueprint of an egomaniac. It is the Obama Foundation, the former president's 3-year-old nonprofit for global change, that is hosting the global summit on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 and bringing to reality, the future site of the Obama Presidential Center in the City of Chicago. "Expected to be completed in 2021, it will be located in Jackson Park, a space designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The 500-acre, lakefront park already includes the Museum of Science and Industry, a beach, golf courses and athletic facilities.
"This leadership summit will be a place to gather and learn from one another and then go back to your communities to lead others in the hard work of change," he said. "The former president will be joined at the summit by his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama. "The summit will welcome hundreds of young leaders to "exchange ideas, explore creative solutions to common problems and experience civic art, technology and music from around the world," according to the Obama Foundation."
"Mr. Obama said he wanted his library to include a children's play area that would attract families from the neighborhood, and a community garden for schoolchildren. He said he wanted food trucks and some grills so people can barbecue, prompting chuckles from the crowd. (NY Times) "Why are you laughing?" he asked. "We don't have any folks who grill here? I thought this was the South Side of Chicago!" "Because Mrs. Obama lamented that Jackson Park did not have hills when she was a child growing up in the nearby South Shore neighborhood, Mr. Obama said the presidential center would be outfitted with a sledding hill."
"If you have not heard, you will soon. November 4 is the date for the hard left to start planned protests similar to the "Arab Spring," and culminate with Trump/Pence leaving office. At the forefront will be ANTIFA, BLM, and every communist group you can imagine. "The United West started investigatingthese idiots almost a year ago. They have metastasized into a serious problem because of the support of the left and the main stream media. In their mind they have political momentum and they do, so this November protest could get out of hand. "Sadly, most cops in the lefty cities have been suppressed by their leaders and therefore, the protestors rule the day. Crazy! "In an effort to comprehensively brief you on the destructive nature of this attack on America we are providing some very important intelligence for your review. Please take the time to carefully read and understand the goals of ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, Refuse Fascism and the other outright, deadly, communists groups."
