For a few seconds, Joe Biden was the only person left on stage. As the Obama Presidential Center ceremony came to a close and others began moving offstage, the former president appeared to drift back toward the podium area, creating an awkward and somewhat confusing moment. The unusual scene came during celebrations surrounding the Obama Presidential Center, a major project years in the making for former President Barack Obama.

“They are scared to death about talking about it.”

The Obama Presidential Center was pitched as a legacy project that would help lift minority-owned and local businesses.

Now, several subcontractors say the project has left them saddled with massive unpaid costs.

One plumbing contractor says he’s nearly $4 million in the red: “That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive.”

A Fox News Digital investigation found multiple construction firms reporting losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions, with many of the complaints coming from the very firms the Center claims it wanted to support.

A celebration for Obama. A protest from the people who built it.

The $850 million Obama Presidential Center officially opened on Chicago's South Side with a crowd that included every living former president and first lady—except President Trump... who called the center "trash."

But outside the ceremony, contractors who worked on the project were demanding payment, claiming they're still owed nearly $100 million for work completed on the center.

"This project was supposed to be a project of dignity, and it's a project of shame to us as contractors in our community."

Dana White got asked at the UFC Vegas 119 presser about Josh Hokit’s “Michelle Obama is a man” comments at the White House. He called it “disgusting” and didn’t regret booking him, but made his stance clear.
“I respect all Presidents. Present and past. Not everybody does and gotta listen to fcking stupid sht like that sometimes, unfortunately, because I also believe in free speech.”
He even brought up his own history with the former president. “I voted for Obama the first time, didn’t vote for him the second time.” White recalled that at Trump’s 2025 inauguration, Obama was the only former president who turned around to congratulate him on his success.

Officially opening to the public on Juneteenth and nearly a decade after Barack and Michelle Obama first unveiled the vision, the Obama Presidential Center is welcoming visitors to a new kind of presidential campus on Chicago’s South Side.⁠
⁠
Designed as “exactly the opposite of all presidential libraries,” the 19-acre campus features a museum, library branch, gardens, playgrounds, and public gathering spaces centered around community, learning, and play.⁠
⁠
“Twenty years from now, 30 years from now, I want young people… to look at this center and say, ‘This is a sign I count, and this is a sign that I can change the world.’”⁠
