We've reported before on the stultifying ugliness of the Obama Presidential Center.
In addition to being ugly, it is also millions over budget (doesn't that figure?), and local people have been protesting it for years.
It's finished construction, and it's supposed to open on June 19.

Now, brace yourself. We and the poor local citizens not only have to deal with this monument to ugliness, but Obama has also put out an incredibly cringeworthy set of videos with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who is a virulent Democrat, for May the Fourth, promoting the Obama Presidential Center.

Hamill asks when he can come, and Obama responds when tickets go on sale, which doesn't actually answer the question.
But yes, you will have to pay if you want to visit the museum at this monstrosity. Who is going to fork over money for that?
Sadly, they weren't done yet.
May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center.

“Mark, I am glad you are here. I want to tell you about someone,” Obama tells Hamill. “A young person born into ordinary circumstances but restless, unsatisfied. A kid with big dreams. A bit of a rebel."
“They join a scrappy group of underdogs and set out to change things,” the former president continues.
Hamill then jumps in, guessing “by blowing up a giant space laser?!”
“Mark, this is not about you, as wonderful as you are," Obama clarifies. “This is about them. This isn’t a monument to my legacy. It’s a gateway to yours.”
He goes on to pitch the center as “much more than a museum. It is an entire campus built to empower you. A place to come together, get inspired, and become a Force — for change,” he adds, before asking Hamill, “See what I did there?”
“Strong, the dad jokes are,” Hamill offers in his best Yoda impression.
Can we translate that? We're going to train and indoctrinate more leftists here. Oh, goody. That's not a force for change; that's a force for failure, given the mess Obama left that we are still trying to clean up, such as with Iran. Not to mention Mark Hamill is now shilling for something that looks like the Death Star or a sandcrawler?

I also find it rather funny that he says it's about "them" — is that because he really has no achievements to list?
People had thoughts.
This is the most Barack Obama thing I've ever seen. https://t.co/Ifdw0SED0y
