Update on renaming schools, roads, and airports after Obama
Work is already underway to rename Chicago's Midway "Barack H. Obama International Airport"
This article notes several schools and roads named after Obama already, and hints at many more to come, in what’s been labeled by some as an attempt “to create a utopia” despite being only Day Eleven, Year One, of The Golden Age of Obama.
Our prediction is that by 2012 more things will be named after Obama than are named after Kennedy, Washington, or either of the Roosevelts (if not combined, then certainly separately).
Mercifully, most communities have strict rules regarding naming anything after the living. Similar rules are in place at the US Mint, Treasury Department, and Post Office, so Obama will not be featured on our currency or stamps for many, many years to come.
Two airports were re-named after former presidents while they were alive, but not while they were still in office: George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan both lived to see those honors.
Here in Chicago, work’s already underway to rename Midway Airport “Barack H. Obama International Airport”. Veterans groups are rightfully upset over this, because the airport’s named after the Battle of Midway, to honor the men and women who fought and died in WWII. The City of Chicago owns the airport but has been working on a scheme to lease it to a private for-profit corporation, which would presumably rename the airport once it takes Midway over, sparing the City culpability for the act, and the outrage of veterans. It is widely believed here that the jubilation from the black community in Chicago for renaming the airport after Obama will drown out the complaints of veterans, and that anyone opposed to the renaming will simply be called a racist, and intimidated into backing down. With WWII veterans aging out of the population every day, it’s believed the black community will win this PR fight easily.
The plan is to have this done before the 2016 Chicago Olympics, whether veterans like it or not.
Just watch.

Oh, gag me with a spoon!
What has he truly done to warrant this level of adoration and worship? What if at the end of his term, he is regarded as the worst of all American presidents? What has he accomplished besides getting elected president with virtually NO experience? THAT is something to celebrate and immortalize?
I think I am going to have to check my GPS. I think I slid down Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole when I wasn’t looking.
I hope that some day I realize what in the hell everyone sees in this person. I think all this nonsense is an outrage. Don’t these people think this is a little over the top? what are we going to do if obama goes the way of Blago? Well..okay..wishful thinking.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccciiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssstttttsssssssssss!
Sorry, I was channeling D’Olberman for am moment…
We have a city sanitation/sewage plant being built. It hasn’t been named yet. I think I’ll submit a suggestion. The dingbats in our local government probably won’t even get the joke though.
Let them do it! I think it will be hysterical to watch them UNname these things in four years when he’s gone down in flames alongside Carter as one of the worst presidents ever.
Wow. Adolf must be spinning in his grave with Jealousy. He didn’t get that many things named after him as President Megalomaniac is.
The cult following is unreal. 10 days in office and they change names. How could anyone ever think the same kind of germany 1939 atomsphere would never happen again? We are seeing it and it is growing worse with every passing day. No doubt Pres. Megalomaniac is loving the adulation. However, history tells us what happens when people don’t fall at a megalomainiac leaders feet or voice disent of that leader.
I agree with Ten. That was my first thought as I read the article.
The battle of Midway was the turning point in WWII in the Pacific, and marked the beginning of the road to victory and peace.
ObeyMe is a turning point in the history of America, and I believe will mark the beginning of the road to our national decline and downfall.
How ironically and sadly appropriate.
