If a sinkhole forms under the Obama library, he can honestly say he inherited this problem from a Republican.

"The "childhood home" is an apartment Reagan lived in for less than a year as a young child, and its planned demolition is part of an expansion by the University of Chicago that has nothing to do with President Obama's presidential library.
