Former President Barack Obama released a video message urging Americans to get involved in the "most consequential" midterm elections in history.

The opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago is marred by reports that minority subcontractors are owed tens of millions of dollars.

The site was described as chaotic and over-regulated, turning a two-year job into a five-year ordeal for many small businesses.

While celebrities like Bruce Springsteen, Bono, and Oprah attended the Obama Center unveiling, local contractors remained unpaid.
