Obama library battle: Chicago vs. Hawaii
David Jackson, USA TODAY
9:46a.m. EST December 26, 2012
The battle is on for part of President Obama's legacy: The presidential library.
The University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii -- schools from Obama's home city and his birth state -- have expressed interest in hosting the library that will hold records from President Obama's administration.
Every president since Herbert Hoover has sponsored a library; the George W. Bush library is scheduled to be dedicated next year in Dallas.

I live 150 miles away. 
The man is hawaiian, the man grew up in Hawaii.
Chicago has other stuff, but this is Hawaii's own to take for the future. I just do not know where they would place it?
This NOR CAL dude has visited this state many times.
