Politico: It took personal intervention by Emanuel, who faces reelection next week, to find a way to end the land dispute and put Chicago — specifically, the city’s South Side — back at the front of the pack. That would locate the library in the neighborhood the president represented in the state senate, anchor it to the school where he used to teach, and put it within walking distance of the home he still owns.”

“The Barack Obama Foundation, the nonprofit charged with siting the library, is set to announce the location by the end of next month. Obama was set to visit the neighborhood on Thursday and get a briefing by foundation members on the library plans.”

2. Good spot (nt)

3. How sad. As Rahm closes the schools in the poor districts and plays patty-cake with

Penny Pritzker and the wealthy, the library will be a monument among the ruins.

4. Write and tell him that he alone among presidents

is unfit to have a library.

6. You think he is unfit to have a library? How utterly strange. I don't think it should

be in Chicago and mock the poor people that Rahm is screwing over. But Rahm and Penny Pritzker seem to have "strong influence" on the President. They do not represent the lower classes.

5. Good to hear

That's where it should be.
