But the Obamas seem not to have had any trouble getting people together for this library celebration.

The exhibits in the center are not meant to evoke nostalgia for some gauzy bygone era.

Some unattainable past that we can dream about and say, oh, we miss you, Barack.

Well, let's talk about the museum itself and how the story is told.

I mean, I do remember in 2008 when Obama was elected, even many people who opposed him said this is a moment, it's a very moving moment in American history.

But I also remember America being deeply divided then also over Obama.

So how are they crafting this story as they tell it now?

And for us, Tamara Keith in Chicago, thanks so much.
