Just in time for President Obama’s winter holiday in Hawaii: State and
local officials in the Aloha State have submitted their formal proposal for
the Barack Obama Presidential Center - this to The Barack Obama Foundation
<http://www.obamapresidentialfoundation.org/>, a year-old nonprofit that’s
coordinating the project and entertaining pitches from Chicago and New York
City as well. The future facility could cost up to $500 million to
construct according to some press reports; it would be located on a
beach-front site in the Kaka’ako neighborhood of Honolulu, with plans that
are definitely Obama-friendly. The site would also house a Global Youth
Leadership Academy, an “action-oriented” Convening Institute, a Hawaii
University Center for Community Organizing and an interactive and an
issues-based visitor center, according to advance materials. The library
would bring up to between $40 million in annual tax revenues and $2 billion
in new economic activity, the planners estimate.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
