It is easily googlable. settle, little feller. Arent you interested in Obama stiffing contractors? Your ilk have always written that Trump did it to casino contractors.
Arent you interested in Obama stiffing contractors? Ponderable? Or more interested in trolling avjoe. Pitiful debater.
If it is ggogleable is not the point. You as the person to stat the topic are required to provide a good source.
You have in the past often demonstarted, that you are misled by misleading headlines and were obstinate to read whole texts...

"And "littel feller" is not a respectable label for debaters.
You might want to look up captatio benevolentia...
Ater googling: This is only reported by exterme right wing media .

Post again if you have a good source.

Then there is the one from the Wall Street Journal, I don’t think it’s transferable to the form, which makes fun that Obama having said “you didn’t build that” years ago.

Do you remember that???????. The hypocritical SOB. So I guess it would follow that he will look at these contractors, who have not been paid and say you didn’t build that. Very confusing stuff…. he must be a liberal like you are.
Then has a huge gala last night with all of your gay and fairy entertainers, and did not even invite the contractors. Sorry if I just made you sick to your stomach.
Anyway, I have answered your question, as I always do. This was one of the many links, you should look it up. The Wall Street Journal article was an editorial. It was just the best.
Maybe you would do better if you join marauder defending the actions of that boy who killed the other boy with an open knife that he brought into a tent where he was not welcome. Marauder appears to agree that he should have been sentenced, but apparently not have been sentenced so harshly for stabbing this unarmed boythrough the heart with a knife that was brought in there certainly for something..

Tsk. Aw.

I'm so sorry to pop your bubble, sweetie, but...

The Obama Foundation, Obama's private nonprofit organization that oversees the construction, told Fox News Digital that it paid Lakeside Alliance as the project's construction manager and that Lakeside was responsible for hiring, managing and paying subcontractors working on the center.

The Obama Foundation also said it has no outstanding disputed charges with Lakeside Alliance -- a joint venture involving multiple construction companies — and no contractural relationship with Lakeside's subcontractors.

This is a dispute between a contractor and its subcontractors, not between the subcontractors and the Obama Foundation.

Again, I'm very sorry for you.

EDIT: Your original wall of text contains the very facts that I've pointed out here. Hope this helps!

Ha, your saying it’s not Obama’s fault’ assumes the only issue is legal liability. I’m talking about leadership and accountability. If a project carrying Obama’s name leaves contractors unpaid, it’s fair to ask what the Foundation is doing to make sure the people who did the work get compensated. Whether he signed the checks personally isn’t really the point, is it.

Further If workers building a Trump project weren’t paid, do you think Democrats would simply say, ‘That’s a dispute between the contractor and subcontractors, not Trump’? I doubt it. They would ask what role the organization behind the project played and whether it exercised proper oversight. Proper oversight soothfast. O has been busy, comprising his list of celebrators, which were all movie, stars and rockers and music makers, not a real man among the entire bunch. you truly have no men, the narcissistic Obama the dimwit Biden, a lot of black women all over the stage his daughter is dressed like something in South Chicago, which fits, and so forth give me a break
Obama still looks like Stepin Fetchit when he walks. He has no leadership qualities. He leaves it all hanging. I will let the rest of you discuss how ugly the project is. Have you seen the news of what is being shown inside that building. Nothing.

Oh, I see. Now we've given up on legal liabilities, and have moved on to it somehow being incumbent upon Obama, as a private citizen, to exercise "leadership and accountability" in a dispute between two parties he has no ownership in, no stakes, and no outstanding obligations to.

Yeah, that's interesting. And meanwhile it's already been pointed out by others here that Trump has a miles' long record of personally stiffing people without ever being brought to account. Fairly mendacious on your part, but we should all expect as much from a vapid cultist whose identity is quantum-entangled with the adulation and worship of an orange parade float reeking of rancid Big Mac grease.

Please settle, given that you have changed the subject. Interesting that we’ve gone from discussing whether people who worked on the Obama Library got paid to discussing Trump, Big Macs, and my alleged cult membership. Why get personal? Cause you lose your factual arguments??
I never claimed Obama was legally liable. I said it’s reasonable to ask whether the Obama Foundation bears some responsibility for ensuring that people working on its signature project aren’t left holding the bag. That’s a question of oversight and accountability, not legal ownership.
If your position is that the Foundation has absolutely no responsibility once it signs a contract, then fine—say that. But that’s a different argument than claiming nobody is allowed to ask questions when subcontractors say they haven’t been paid.
As for Trump, if he personally stiffed contractors, then criticize him for that. I’m not defending every action Trump has ever taken. But pointing to Trump doesn’t answer the question about the Obama Library. It just changes the subject. You change the subject SFast.
So let’s stay on the original topic.
When a project carrying Obama’s name encounters payment disputes involving firms that helped build it, is it reasonable to ask what role the Foundation has played in resolving those disputes? I think it is.

So , that being said…….
If Trump did something wrong, criticize Trump. That doesn’t answer the question about Obama. The moment you start the insults, the discussion becomes about personalities instead of the actual issue.
Noting. Nobody cares. People like Susie just want the facts. She hates whataboutisms.

Look this up on Snopes.com.

You'll find out the real skinny, not this snow job.

Subcontractors are paid by contractors. The contractors were paid. If the subcontractors aren't getting paid, that's a contractor problem, not the Foundation's problem.

Can you stick to one topic at a time?

You can't handle more than that, you only get them all wrong.
