Found this on The American Spector, which argues Obama’s Jackson Park monument fits him perfectly.
Author Scott McKay offers “credit to Ken Blackwell, the former treasurer and secretary of state in Ohio and one of the most incisive and quotable black conservatives around, for his spot-on characterization of the ugly, brutalist monstrosity sprouting up in Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side. Blackwell had this to say in a Facebook post:
This isn’t a library. It’s a fortress. And the symbolism couldn’t be clearer.
I think it looks like a totalitarian command center dropped straight out of 1984.
You can’t make this up. This hulking, gray monolith doesn’t look like a tribute to “hope and change.” It looks like the Ministry of Truth from a failed Marxist state. Cold. Ominous. Bureaucratic. The perfect shrine to eight years of weaponized government, broken promises, and elite arrogance.
