On Tuesday, Red State<\/a> posted an article about the ongoing construction of President Obama’s Presidential Library. It truly is an eyesore.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Obama Presidential Center has taken plenty of heat, mostly because it\u2019s one of the ugliest buildings humanity has ever produced. Soviet architects would be in awe of the brutalist, menacing design of the $850 million<\/a> ode to the 44th<\/sup> president.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, the National Archives will manage them off-site and make digital versions available to the public. Its real purpose is to act as some sort of monumental community organizing project.<\/strong><\/p>\n
