So I called President Bush's chief of staff and I said, President Obama would like to talk to President Bush.

And the chief of staff said, why?

I said, I can't tell you, but I promise you he'll want to take this phone call.

He wanted to tell President Bush first.

This place is filled with discoveries like that, with history that surprises you or calls you to action yourself.

Alongside the successes of the Obama presidency, you will also see the moments where it fell short.

The designers of the museum want you to see the unfinished business, as the president calls it, the work that remains.

And so...

It is perhaps fitting that the end of the museum experience is up here in the clouds, the Sky Room.

No more exhibits and artifacts, no buzzy videos to watch or posters to read.

Up here, it's just you and your ideas, as you look out through President Obama's own words from Selma with an expansive view of the South Side.

It's a place designed for people to ask themselves, now what can I do?

Tonight, we will roam around the museum and the grounds with the people who built it.

And we will hear directly from the former president and Mrs. Obama now that their center, more than a decade in the making, is open to the world.

We have so much more to get to tonight, and we're so glad to have you with us for this special event.

Hope comes home inside the Obama Presidential Center.

We'll be right back.

I am so glad that we have a chance to talk to you about this.

10 years in the making?

Really almost 12 now, right?
