<p>Hawaii’s not gonna happen. Presidential libraries, without exception, are located </p>
<p>1) In the state from which the President in question launched his political career (eg, Reagan in California) </p>
<p>2) In the President’s birth state if the President held no elective office prior to the presidency (eg, Eisenhower in Kansas).</p>
<p>There would be no precedent for Obama choosing Hawaii. In fact, such a choice would be weird. </p>
<p>Having said this, I’d be surprised if it went to UChicago, either. Neither UChicago nor Obama need the connection, so what would be the point?</p>
<p>I think South Side Chicago–possibly Hyde Park–is quite likely, though.</p>
