The Barack Obama $850 million Presidential Center officially opened to the public on June 19, 2026. The Center serves as a museum, library, and educational facility dedicated to the legacy of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

During his presidency from 2009 to 2017, Barack Hussein Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and wildly popular “yes we can,” peace-loving “change we can believe in” 44th US president, had the United States at war every year he was in office.

In his opening remarksat the dedication, Barack Obama spoke about American ideals and achievements and proclaimed the following with a straight face:

We’ve learned that we can’t solve every conflict or solve or stop every atrocity around the globe, but at our best the United States has been an undeniable force for good in the world. And what I heard on every continent as president is that when America, when American foreign policy lives up to our highest ideals, when we champion human rights and democracy, and the sound stewardship of our planet, when we take the lead in eradicating disease and feeding the hungry and educating children; when we encourage cooperation between nations, instead of trying to dominate and bully, and squeeze every advantage just because we can . . .  it turns out that all nations, including ours, become more prosperous and secure, and the world gets a little bit brighter.

Can’t Touch This!

If war criminals were recognized for their crimes against humanity and held the same status for their atrocities as National Basketball Association (NBA) star basketball players for their on-court achievements, Barack Hussein Obama, the son of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) asset, Barack Obama Sr., would be the Michael Jordon of war criminals and would be the CIA and international banking cartel’s top, all-time MVP, Most Valuable Player.

Obama inherited two wars and expanded America’s military footprint through drone strikes, conducting 10 times more strikes than his predecessor, George W. Bush. He intervened in Libya without congressional authorization (calling it “kinetic military action,” not war), and his administration’s CIA program armed Syrian rebels who often fought alongside jihadists.

A snapshot of Obama’s authorized and unauthorized conflicts paints a chilling portrait of his criminal legacy:

The Perfect Stooge: Personable, Articulate, and Remarkably Compliant

Barack Obama left office with an average approval rating of 60%. For many of his fawning admirers and supporters, Barack was the man—black, smart, and confident. He represented the full package, the first fist-bumping African American to step into the driver’s seat and take the reins of power. He was a family man with a wife and two young kids who had voters believing that he would change their lives for the better.

Unbeknownst to many, and not widely reported in the mainstream press, Obama, a protégée of former National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was installed by and indebted to Wall Street bankers before he even laid his hand on the Bible and was sworn into office.

A 2016 article (“Citigroup chose Obama’s 2008 cabinet, WikiLeaks document reveals”) reported:

One month before the presidential election of 2008, the giant Wall Street bank Citigroup submitted to the Obama campaign a list of its preferred candidates for cabinet positions in an Obama administration. This list corresponds almost exactly to the eventual composition of Barack Obama’s cabinet.

The memorandum, revealed by WikiLeaks in a recent document release from the email account of John Podesta, who currently serves as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair, was written by Michael Froman, who was then an executive with Citigroup and currently serves as US trade representative. The email is dated Oct. 6, 2008 and bears the subject line “Lists.” It went to Podesta a month before he was named chairman of President-Elect Obama’s transition team.

As a token of his appreciation, Obama proceeded to bail out the “too big to fail” banks with taxpayer money, selling the financial scam to the American public as an investment that they would ultimately see a return on.  It was one of Obama’s first major initiatives as president.

“Yes, we can?” You better believe it.

Other high-profile war criminals in attendance at the dedication ceremony were former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and former US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton—a collective cabal of globalist stooges responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent men, women, and children around the world.

Celebrities, including actors, musicians, TV talk show hosts, film directors, politicians, and foreign dignitaries were also in attendance. The list reads like a who’s who of bought-and-sold liberals who will jump through hoops and do anything to be seen rubbing elbows with the power elite.

If President Trump, the unhinged former narcissistic gameshow host, miraculously makes it to the end of his term of office in 2028, and is around to attend the dedication of a future Trump Presidential Center replete with plastic seat covers, one can only imagine what foreign dignitaries and celebrities might be in attendance to honor the occasion. Some possibilities include Benjamin Netanyahu, Miriam Adelson, Elon Musk, Kid Rock, Erika Kirk, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and the entire Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) squad.

Remember These Folks?

Long gone are the days when musicians like cellist Pablo Casals and opera singer Maria Callas performed at the Kennedy White House back in the sixties, along with giant talents like Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Kelly, Harry Belafonte, and Leonard Bernstein.

It’s no secret that after the death of John F. Kennedy many things died. The sixty-three years following JFK’s assassination have paved the way for unbridled, out-of-control US imperialist aggression that has brought America to its present sad state of affairs where we are now honoring and glorifying despicable war criminals as if they are champions of peace.

Heaven help us.
