Obama Library DISASTER BANKRUPTED Black Contractors Leaving Chicago TAXPAYERS a $400 Million Bill?

[00:00:00]uh President Obama and if he if I if he wanted help, I'd give him help because I'm a really good builder and I build on time, on budget. He's building his library in Chicago. It's a disaster. And he said something to the effect, I only want DEI. I only want woke He wants woke people to build it. Well, he got woke people and they have massive cost overruns. The job is stopped. I don't know. It's a disaster. And I don't like that happening because it's I think it's bad for the presidency that a thing like that should happen. He's got a a library that's a disaster. And he wanted to be very politically correct. And he didn't use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers that I love, Marco. I love those construction workers. But he didn't want construction workers. He wanted people that like never did it before. And he's got a disaster in his hands.

[00:00:46]>> All right, y'all. The Democrats never fail to help just reiterate to the country just how racist, how prejudiced they are towards everybody. their prejudice towards white people, white Christian men and women. They can't stand any black people that are independent freethinkers and just so happen to not fall in line on the Democrat plantation. But with this presidential library that Obama was supposed to be supposed to have as his golden jewel, come to find out, it is a disaster. Just like President Trump said, it's hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. And their contractors are not getting paid.

[00:01:22]Specifically, the black contractors are not getting paid. Now, this on the heels of the Democrats always talking like, "Oh, they just love black people and they just for the people." No, they doing the same thing they always do.

[00:01:34]They take the lowest hanging fruit that they know that they can abuse, that they can run over. And guess what? These people are still going to run to the ballot box and vote them in. Now, Obama's supposed to be like their messiah. As you see right here, Obama used black contractors to build his library and literally owes tens of millions of dollars. As a matter of fact, I want you to listen and we going to get deep into this story. I want you to listen to this gentleman who's the spokesman of the black contractors and check out what he has to say. His name is Omar Sharief. And I'm only going to play a little bit of this, but he's going to break down how contractors are literally going bankrupt. They're about to lose their homes. They're losing everything all because they chose to lend their services to what they thought was a just cause. They thought by helping Obama this would be a great thing for their business, they'd be adding to the quote unquote legacy. But what they really caught was a stiff one of the you know what, because they have been screwed. So, in this video, I'm going to show y'all not only are you going to see how they screwed people, wait until you see the hidden jewels that was in front of us the whole time.

[00:02:44]Now, you heard that wrestler Josh Hoki refer to Michelle Obama as a man. Now, I'm not saying she is, and I'm not saying she's not. You know, with the Democrats with transgenderism and gender being fluid, why are they so mad about that? Does it matter if she's a sis woman or a man? You know, they're interchangeable, right? But they're fake outrage. But I'm going to show you some videos where Obama out of his own mouth refers to Michelle as a man. So, let me get into this. Listen to Omar Sharief as he breaks down how these people are losing everything. Check this out.

[00:03:19]>> My name is Omar Sharief, president of the African-American Contract Association. I've been in business since 1989. I never seen this happen in since I've been in business. Even when I work with Chicago Urban League, so many of our black contractors are complaining about they have not got their money. But the other side of it, a lot of the black community and the newspapers do not know that these people have not been paid.

[00:03:40]Some of the people have put their mortgages up. They're going to lose their bonding or the rate in their bonding uh company. They're going to lose their relationship with their supplier as well as their banker may want to bring in their note. So, they're they're afraid to talk about these things, but they tell me in privacy that these things are taking place with them and they're scared to death about talking about it. Some of someone will hang up the phone on you and just say, "I don't want to talk about that in mind."

[00:04:07]>> It's that backlash, you know, like I know it's the backlash that they're afraid of. Speak out against the demon rap party, especially if you're black.

[00:04:14]They will attack you. Trust me, I know firsthand. And those of you that might follow my social media on different platforms, you've seen the stuff that I've had to go up against. But I'm here for it. I beat them fools back every time they try getting funny with me about how I think. But I'll let them finish just a little bit more, then we going to roll on.

[00:04:32]Yeah, we met with them on several terms and but that's when they told us they had to stop conversation about it because they all signed a non-disclosure and we that we're that bridge over trouble water for them. Not only they going to be at financial risk, they are going to not be able to work on other major projects that we try to place our contractors on. And some of our biggest contractors are being hurt and hampered by this matter. Some of our contractors are already in bankruptcy. That's what they saying that if it wasn't the fact that they worked on this Obama project, they would not be under this type of problem filing bankruptcy for So, you heard it.

But as you heard him say, the contract is getting screwed by the Obamas. Big time. Now, I want to show you something. I want to show you just how much the Obama's care.

[00:05:34]This interview was done by Good Morning America the day before uh the library was opening up. Okay? And I want you to listen as they're asked about what's the next chapter of their life. I want you to listen to what Michelle Obama says.

[00:05:49]Check this out.

[00:05:52]>> One word to describe your next chapter.

[00:05:54]One word.

[00:05:56]>> Funny.

[00:05:57]>> Uh me.

[00:06:01]>> That's what you call drop the mic.

[00:06:04]>> You know what? You seem to be grading higher on her answer.

[00:06:08]>> So Michelle Obama, she said it's all about her and I believe that. Now I'm going to get into the rest about these about this presidential library because wait until you see what Fox News said about it. But remember when I said that Barack or Barry, whichever one you want to call him, I like to call him Barry Soul for Barry Sotoro, his actual name that he had growing up. But I want you to listen to him as he speaks about his wife or excuse me, husband, you tell me what it is. Check this out.

[00:06:37]Distinguished guests and men and women of the finest military in the world.

[00:06:43]Most of all, Admiral Mullen, Deborah, Michael, and I also want to acknowledge uh your son, Jack, who's deployed today.

[00:06:55]All of you have performed extraordinary service to our country.

[00:06:59]>> Did you hear that? Did you hear who he said wants to thank him? Listen again.

[00:07:03]Most of all, Admiral Mullen, Gabro, Michael, and I also want to acknowledge uh your son, Jack, who's deployed today.

[00:07:15]All of you have performed extraordinary service to our >> And you could tell he knew he screwed up, that little hesitation. What man makes a mistake and calls his wife Michael? What man makes a mistake and calls his wife a man's name? That's what you call a Freudian slip? He didn't mean to do that, but he did it. So, enough of that. But President Trump, he always has good foresight. Check out this post.

[00:07:38]Illinois is spending hundreds of millions of dollars in trying to bail out Obama's badly delayed and tremendously overbudget library. The neighborhood is angry as heck. And he's right. Did you know that that area where they built this library was like sacred ground where they had a lot of great things going on there? They literally came, moved the people out, moved out the projects, not projects as far as in ghetto, but the projects that they were doing and working on in that area, uprooted them, pissed the people off, and this overbudget trash can of a monument will fall on the taxpayers.

[00:08:13]They're going to have to foot the bill for this overbudget, horrible looking trash can of a monument. So, check out this part.

[00:08:21]People needed ID to get into the library. Hey, check out what Fox News did a breakdown on it. Jesse Waters is great. Check this out.

[00:08:29]>> An ID to get in, but outside the gates, different scene. Apparently, Obama stiffed the black subcontractors who built this stone slab.

[00:08:38]>> Some of our contractors are already in bankruptcy. That's what they saying.

[00:08:41]That if it wasn't the fact that they worked on this Obama project, they would not be under this type of problem file bankruptcy for protection. The overall monies expended on this project have now reached nearly $4 million in the red.

[00:08:56]>> In what sense is accelerating Junth if our black contractors are not getting their money?

[00:09:01]>> Barry built a billion dollar vanity project, booked celebrities to serenate him and didn't pay the black construction workers.

[00:09:10]This isn't Donald Trump. This is Barack Hussein Obama who did that. everything they've been yelling at Trump for.

[00:09:16]Narcissism, hideous, egotistical architecture, being over budget. Barry's been doing it the whole time in Chicago.

[00:09:25]Trump's building big, beautiful things.

[00:09:28]And you haven't heard the demon rat say one thing about this overbudget library of Obamas. I didn't even realize that it was that far over budget, but it is.

[00:09:38]Now, Newsmax brought on that gentleman, Omar Sharief. Check out this breakdown that he gives in an interview. Obama's $850 million concrete disaster. They had estimated that it was only going to be $300 million. $850 million. And it's coming out the backs of the taxpayers in Chicago. And they're not paying the black contractors. All while calling Trump the racist and how Trump's ballroom and yada yada yada. They are insane. Even though Trump had all types of donations from people to build the ballroom. And it's not like it was a ballroom just for dancing. It was literally a military bunker where different functions can be had without the fear of a missile dropping in on them, taking everybody out or like the scare that they had at the event where that deranged psychopath was tackled trying to go in at the press dinner. But you know how these demon rats are, they project, they project, and they project.

[00:10:33]But this one has come back to bite him in the butt. And the lamestream media is not covering that Obama stiff the black contractors. They keep saying contractors and subcontractors. They know they don't want to say black because that will just destroy destroy their whole little foundation and it will send the leftists over the edge.

[00:10:52]But check out as news give this man light where you got literally some contractors are owed upwards of $4 million. Their businesses are literally hanging in the winds because they thought they were doing some good, you know, change that everybody they could believe in, right? Yes, we can. No, you can't pay them. So, check this out. On the heels of all of the stuff that's taking place in the country right now, seniors, it's extremely important that you make sure you've got the best Medicare plan available because Medicare plans are expected to increase 10%.

[00:12:07]>> President of African-American Contractors Association, Omar Sharief, who has several subcontractors who, you know, they own private companies that have approached him with unpaid invoices. Sir, I appreciate you taking the time. You know, having been in infrastructure construction myself, I understand you the use of subcontractors and not paying a bill can be devastating to one of these businesses.

[00:12:28]>> Well, thank you uh for having me, Carl.

[00:12:30]You know, I really appreciate this because a lot of our contractors are hurting from this ordeal that took place on the Obama Center. They was happy to be involved. Everybody was ecstatic. Uh some of my members was involved. They came to me four months ago and told me that they was having some difficulty. So I sat in the conference room. I asked them what difficulty was it. They clearly explained that they was dealing with cost overruns that they was forced to do and they did not get financial covering for it. And so they asked me to speak about it. And so I asked them, do they mind me using their name? They told me that they had a non-disclosure agreement and they afraid that they would get sued and they would lose everything. But here today, they still going to lose everything because they're not getting their money. Uh their loans are due. Some of them put up their home.

[00:13:20]Some have lines of credit, some have supply lines of credit, as well as some of the majority guys that would like to use them in the city of Chicago in the state of Illinois. They don't not want to use them now because of the problem that they're having when it's Obama. And we are just simply telling Barack Obama uh the U foundation, the general contractor, and their Lakeside Alliance partners to pay these contractors so that they can go on with their lives.

[00:13:46]Yeah.

[00:13:48]>> And y'all want to make this known. Omar Sharief, he does not look sick. He does not look ill. And so we need to pay attention because if a news report breaks that he just randomly fell down some stairs, fell down three stairs and broke his neck and his back or he was walking through a puddle that was 6 in high and somehow drowned will know that there's some funny business going on.

[00:14:11]Well, they they also have, I believe, over Yeah, they have over a $400 million endowment just sitting there to ensure that it >> not even using it.

[00:14:20]>> Yeah. Well, exactly.

[00:14:21]>> They're not using it.

[00:14:22]>> And and today, you know what's so interesting? They had all the celebrity, all the glitz and glamour, and they could have raised the money there and paid these guys and let them go about their business.

[00:14:30]>> What What is What do they say to you when you approach these people like, "Dude, you guys got to pay your bills."

[00:14:36]>> Well, they claim that the contractor's been paid. So that means that somebody took the money or stashing the money and they're not paying the uh subcontractors which the project post have been geared around helping the economic development in our community. I've been doing this thing for since 1989 and I never seen nothing like this happen in my entire life.

[00:14:56]>> Wow. I mean that says something. I mean obviously it's not Barack Obama you're dealing with but there's somebody at the top of this food chain that's given you guys the finger. Is there is there any mechanism that you've seen that that might be able to work put leans on this place or anything?

[00:15:08]Well, some have uh yeah, there'll probably be some links uh dashed out, but they was trying to give the uh I think the the center and the president respect enough to open up and to see what happened. But they afraid that now that the center is open up, they're not going to get their money, probably a penny on the dollar or whatever, and they're not going to get their rightful cost of that project. But my thing is that pay them so that they can go on and save their company and chalk this one up as a loss.

[00:15:35]>> Yeah. Well, I mean, Omar, I appreciate you joining us no matter what side of the >> How about that?

[00:15:42]How about that?

[00:15:44]So, real quick before we get back to the presidential library because I want to show you one more thing. Look at this is what the Democrats are terrified of. I want you to check out this black woman because I know y'all just heard me talk about the loyalty of the black community, but listen to me. Within the black community, I don't even like calling it that, but amongst black people, the tide is turning. I know you saw the ignorant fools out there in Texas and some of the people around the country with this Carmelo Anthony crap, but please understand the majority of black people know what wrong is. The majority of black people do not stand behind Carmelo Anthony. The majority of black people can see what's happening.

[00:16:22]Now, black women as a whole, they're still very, very much strong as far as on that Democrat plantation, unfortunately. But black men for sure, they see, they understand Trump is projecting strength. They know what it looks like when they paying their bills and they got less money left over under Democrat presidencies. Which is why Trump now he got the Iran situation under control. It's time to focus on the economy. But listen to what this woman had to say that got the Democrats freaking out.

[00:16:49]People don't want to hear the truth. The truth is bitter, but we have to swallow it. The Democratic Party I've voted for over 20 years of my life. I voted for Barack Obama when he said he was going to bring hope and change. And yes, we can. And no, we didn't. The jobs didn't come. the better schools didn't come.

[00:17:04]The investment in our communities did not come. National security, our borders are open. We're not safe. We're not safe. And we've got to stop thinking as black and white and purple and Arab.

[00:17:14]We've got to start thinking as Americans. And that's what Donald Trump is saying. We're Americans. America first. You have to remember uh Donald Trump is the head of Trump organization.

[00:17:23]And when you look into that organization, it is filled with blacks, whites, Hispanics, Arabs, Asians. It's different religions, different cre.

[00:17:32]So, this is what they're terrified of.

[00:17:34]Now, real quick before I go back to the Obama library, I just want you to listen to what Michelle Obama has to say, and you tell me if this makes you go, "Hm, >> that's transgender."

[00:17:46]>> Absolutely.

[00:17:47]>> Um, and that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man. Um, >> that's transgender.

[00:17:57]>> Absolutely. Um, and that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man. Um, >> fraud and slip. I don't know. And one more clip before I go back to the to the library cuz I want to go back to the article. I want you to listen to Joe Biden and what he's accused what he said about Obama. And you tell me, was Joe trying to tell us something? This is from 2007. And it says, in case you forgotten, here's Joe Biden casually implying that Barack Obama is gay. And you can't make this up. Check this out.

[00:18:28]And when you look at this Joe Biden, and we all know people that get older, but when you get old, it doesn't shrink your face and completely change your entire ear structure, head structure. Look at that Joe Biden's head is long. His face is long. And you look at the Joe Biden now, it's just not the same. I really do believe there's a body double that was in there for Joe Biden. I really do. But check this out where he casually implies that Obama's >> I know Barack got tested for AIDS.

[00:18:57]There's no shame in being tested for AIDS. It's an important thing because the fact of the matter is in the community in the communities engaged in denial. They're engaged in denial. No one wants to talk about it in the community and we do not have enough leaders in the community and out.

[00:19:13]>> You see Hillary agreeing. They know they know what's really going on >> inside the community demanding we face the reality confront the men in the community as well as the women letting them know there are altern I I just got to make clear I got tested with Michelle >> when we were in Kenya and Africa so I want all right >> I don't want any confusion here all right about what's going and I got tested to save my life because I was and and >> now why did Obama feel like he needed to address that and point out how he did that he took that age test with Michelle in Kenya and why would Joe Biden need to say yeah Obama took the age test and we need to go to the communities that are engaged in this type of behavior and you know want to don't want to deal with the grips of the reality which is of you know men being gay but being afraid to to to talk about it. What would make Joe Biden want to talk like that? Telling you, they know what's going on. They're all in there together. They are well aware of it. And I'm going to get back to the article, but here's a clip of them all walking into the presidential library. And as you see, it say Biden looks lost at the Obama library. And Jill, she don't wait for him at all.

[00:20:36]She's too busy being on Obama's coattails. Check this out. And watch Joe Biden. And this is the same man that that Jill Biden, Obama, and everybody tried to tell us was perfectly fine to serve a second term. Check this out.

[00:21:18]Joe Biden don't have any idea where he is. He don't know where he is. You can My grandson just walked in while I'm filming. I you know kids, right? But Biden don't know where he is. I just wanted to show you that. But let me get back to read you some of this article and just break down what they talk about real quick in this. And this uh Obama used black contractors to build library.

[00:21:38]They didn't get paid. Lots of hope, no change.

[00:21:42]And this says, I'll make it a little bit louder. You can sit down.

[00:21:46]Barack Hussein Obama, the son of a foreign black father with no connection to the black community, is preparing to hijack the legacy of foundational black Americans one more time by usurping the Junth commemorations to launch his library museum, Ugly Dark Tower. So, for those of you who don't know, Junth is a weird holiday within the black community. I don't even know why it's celebrated. And what it uh what it celebrates is the fact that it was like a thousand days after slavery ended.

[00:22:16]There was a group of of people, black people in the deep south, who didn't even know slavery had ended. And it was like a thousand days later. And it was supposedly sometime in June that they found out. So since they don't know the exact date, they literally said, "We're going to celebrate the day that the last people who didn't know for years that slavery was over that they found out."

[00:22:39]To me, it is a ridiculous ignorant holiday. It's another uh white liberal creation. It literally was created by white liberals that have made it this big thing cuz it was really small. I think it's in Texas. In Texas, it was a small group of people that were in that area where it meant something to them that celebrated it. Then it expanded.

[00:23:00]Then it became this thing. And then guess what they did under the Biden administration? They made it a federal holiday. So when they did that, they literally took the power from the independent contractors, from the people used to sell food, make shirts, and make money from that. They stripped it because now that it's a federal day, guess what? It's trademarked. You can't go out there just selling Junth t-shirts and Junth dinners anymore. So, it's a weird day that they created to celebrate and it's supposed to mean something to black people. Many don't even acknowledge it, but there are some that really do. And Obama decided to have his opening at the same time of the so-called Junth because it's during the month during the teenth days. So, that's what they're talking about, his Junth commemorations. There was a good deal of controversy over what some people are calling the Obamalisk because it hijacked an entire area just to glorify the Obamas. But Barack Obama argued that by using black contractors, he was giving back to the community. Now, the black contractors want to be paid and get their change after being stiffed.

[00:24:04]Contractors on the Obama Presidential Center say their invoices are going unpaid, reportedly missing millions in payments and jeopardizing the future of businesses.

[00:24:15]The Obama Center has gone hundreds of millions over its original $300 million cost estimate. The 19 acre museum and libraries construction cost has ballooned over the years to a staggering 850 million, nearly tripling the projected budget.

[00:24:34]African-American Contractors Association President Omar Sheree said that a total of seven separate subcontractors have contacted him for help with the pursuing missing payments in the past several months. According to cranes, some of the contractors are owed seven figures, millions. They're willing to settle for less as long as they can keep their businesses running. Do you think that's what they're trying to do? Starve these people out where they get the deal at pennies on the dollar? I wouldn't put it above a Democrat at all. At all.

[00:25:06]It's to the point that they wish they had never done the project. Share told the outlet. And that may just be the beginning of the financial mess. Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout.

[00:25:34]We know it's coming, right? And it's in Chicago, too. Oh my god. And what's crazy is Obama's not even from Chicago.

[00:25:41]He didn't grow up there. They literally planted him there and gave him this community organizer title to make him seem like he was a mover in the shaker.

[00:25:50]There is nobody in Chicago that remembers Obama at all prior to his run for Congress when he was beaten by a Black Panther in his run for Congress.

[00:26:01]So he lost his bid for Congress and guess what? On the Democrat side, you failed forward. So he lost to Bobby Rush in the run for Congress. They ran him for Senate. And the reason why he won the Senate is because the Republican candidate that they had all of a sudden a sex scandal leaks. He has to drop out and Obama just walked into the Senate spot on the heels of him being uh Renegade, which is his name allegedly as a CIA asset name was Renegade that they spoke about amongst the agencies that he was coming and he was going to be put in Chicago and he was a community organizer and they were going to take him through the ranks. I've even put out videos documenting this.

[00:26:42]Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund known as an endowment as part of its 99-year deal to take control of the publiclyowned 19.3 acre section of Jackson Park for a one-time payment of just $10.

[00:27:02]Oh my god. Fox News Digital previously reported that the foundation had deposited just 1 million into the reserve fund in 2021 and that the balance remain largely unchanged in its most recent publicly available findings.

[00:27:19]One of their core promises was they were supposed to create an endowment as basically an insurance policy so the taxpayers wouldn't get stuck with the bill. Illinois GOP Chair Robert Grogan told Fox News Digital outside the center last week as worker vehicles entered and exited the center.

[00:27:36]It's Chicago, so of course taxpayers are getting stuck with the bill. We know that. Let's be realistic here. The Obama's managed to raise nearly a billion dollars, but there's a limit to how much money they're going to continue being able to raise, especially as the party slips out of their grip. A lot of donors are expecting to leverage Obama's political influence and that has an expiration date. Thus far, Obama has been able to play a major role in presidential administrations, or at least one of them, the Biden administration.

[00:28:08]If a Dem wins in 2028, Obama may be able to do it again, but that's debatable and I don't really believe so. If he can't, then his stock drops to what Hillary Clinton is, and nobody's going to pony up hundreds of millions to keep his monument functional, which means Chicago taxpayers are screwed. And unless Obama raises and puts real money into that endowment, this will become a mess and fast. Imagine this thing 20 years from now. And by then Obama may be dead or certainly won't be fundraising and taxpayers will be stuck with maintaining this thing which few people will be interested in visiting. Maybe they can just turn it into a housing project.

[00:28:49]Wow. Written by Dan Greenfield. So I just wanted to bring y'all this lowdown on what was going on up there out of Illinois. It's insane. It's crazy. And you know what do you expect coming from the Democrats, especially from Obama?
