- Wouldn’t Rahm just love to announce Obama’s library is coming to Chicago?
With parents and students up in arms over the state’s insistence on shoving another dumbass standardized test down their throats, I thought it would be as good a time as ever to come up with a multiple-choice quiz of my own.
For the last year or so, President and Mrs. Obama have been courting sites competing for the library, weighing them against one another to see which most deserves it.
North Lawndale—which won’t get it in a million years, as I’m pretty much the only one outside of North Lawndale who’s endorsing it—is another.
A few days ago, the Obamas quietly let it be known—without explanation—that they were delaying the big announcement until sometime in April.
(b) They’ve decided to bring it to Chicago, but Mayor Rahm asked them to hold off the announcement because he thinks it will help him win votes by running around the south side telling voters we’re not gonna get the library if Chuy’s elected mayor.
Apparently, last month’s presidential hug—which the mayor ran on endless TV commercials—was only good enough to get Rahm into a runoff.
