Obama dragged for 'headache'-inducing presidential center update that has visitors squinting
Who benefits from this decision?
Former President Barack Obama's presidential center in Chicago is again coming under scrutiny for its architectural design — this time leaving locals scratching their heads over confusing text wrapped around the top of the building.

"What don’t you understand about," Targeted Victory vice president Logan Dobson posted. "YOU ARE AMERICA ED BY HABILAND UNENCUMBERED ADY TO SEIZE WE," he continued, mocking the confusing lay out of the text.

"I gave up after developing a headache three lines from the top," one user posted.

"It looks like a WW2-era German anti-aircraft tower," another posted.
"I noticed when I was in the air that the sentences wrap around the west and south sides of the building, and looks decent in a very specific spot on the ground or very good from the air…but like that’s not an ideal …
