Obama Library: Behind Schedule, Over Budget and Mired in Lawsuits

Published Jan 31, 2025 / Updated Feb 03, 2025

A federal lawsuit reviewed by Newsweek alleges that a company involved in constructing the Obama Presidential Center subjected a Chicago-based Black American-owned subcontractor to "baseless criticism and defamatory and discriminatory accusations" and blamed the company for construction delays.

"In a shocking and disheartening turn of events, the African American owner of a local construction company finds himself and his company on the brink of forced closure because of racial discrimination by the structural engineer of record (Thornton Tomasetti) for the construction of The Obama Presidential Center," the case reads.

Michelle and Barack Obama’s Largest Donors Drop Them Amid Divorce Rumors

Feb 5, 2025

Construction of the Obama Presidential Center has once again stalled after a subcontractor filed a $40 million racial discrimination lawsuit, and Obama’s megadonors are not jumping in to help.

The Daily Beast reported:

It was groundbreaking when Barack Obama was hustled into the White House in 2008 on the back of millions of tiny $5 donations, but more than three years after breaking ground on his much-vaunted $830 million presidential center it appears that some donors are balking at making the kind of big-ticket donations the former president might have expected.

Rather than shine as the nation’s lasting tribute to America’s first Black commander-in-chief, costly delays and worrying setbacks are in danger of turning the 225-ft watchtower library and museum project on the south side of Chicago into the Obamas’ financial folly.

While the media is busy worrying about Barack and Michelle Obama being on the outs —they haven’t been seen publicly together since December, although they did release a photo in January—the center’s fund-raisers have more substantial concerns on their minds – like why some deep-pocketed donors have gone MIA.
