Hempstead school To Be Renamed Barack Obama Elementary School
This photo was taken when Obama had to show up to listen to General Petraeus on his report about how the war was going. I find it disgusting beyond belief, how little respect he shows to General Petraeus . I will never forget this pos look of his, never! -- Wild Thing
LI school renamed for Barack Obama
At a meeting Thursday night, the five-member Hempstead school board voted unanimously to rename one of its schools Barack Obama Elementary School, said Superintendent Joseph Laria.
The change was effective immediately, although the district does not have a new sign yet. The school, formerly called Ludlum Elementary School, is on William Street in Hempstead.
School staff and students, who participated in mock presidential and vice presidential debates before the Nov. 4 election, initiated the request to rename the school, Laria said.
The move could herald a name wave -- schools, streets, parks, people -- following Obama's historic rise to the presidency.
The five-member board passed the resolution unanimously:
"Whereas ... the students did a wonderful job of carrying out their tasks and demonstrating their patriotism at an early age ...now be it resolved that the (board members) proudly rename the Ludlum Elementary School as the Barack Obama Elementary School."
The new name will appear on a sign in front of the building and on stationery, "hopefully before Christmas," at a cost of several thousand dollars to the district, Laria said.
The change will be formalized at a ceremony sometime in December. School officials are hoping Gov. David Paterson can attend. The state's first black governor graduated from Hempstead High School.
The prime minister of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda has said he's taking measures to have Boggy Peak renamed Mount Obama. In Portland, Ore., students want to rename Clark K-8 At Binnsmead school. Elsewhere on Long Island, the Clear Stream Avenue School in Valley Stream will consider a renaming resolution in December. And parents already have been naming newborns Barack.
In Opa-locka, Florida, the city council is considering naming a street after Obama, as well, the Miami Herald reports.

Wild Thing's comment........
Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing an idiot. waaaa can't we send him back to his relatives??!!
This is really getting out of control. I posted about the Metro cards yesterday, he had his own stupid seal during the election trying to Play a President on TV as they say in the movies, and his plane on his trip Obama tour with no flag only his ugly seal on it.
I mean good grief couldn’t they wait until he actually had ACHIEVED something?
Will they fly a flag with 57 stars?
....Thank you Les for the article.

He hasn't done anything worthwhile yet! Getting elected President is NOT a reason to go all haywire and doing stuff yet. He's also a carpet bagger like Hitlery. Again, both the Bible and Nostradamus tell us what to watch out for in the AntiChrist and he's falling right in line. He comes from the sea (Hawaii is in the sea and Kenya is on the coast) wearing a blue turban (dems are blue) and will be hailed as a God. Scary stuff. America turned down the wrong path at the fork in the road, even after all those Bible preachings on the end times, we still kept the blinders on.
These name changes make me want to cry. How about renaming it for someone of importance in their city? Someone who actually did something? Someone who made the world a better place to live? Nah, we can't have that anymore. We have to fall apart and go drooling over some idiot who believes he's God. There is only one God and his son paid the price to Heaven for us. Obama is NOT God.

He actually has achieved something. Gathering a flock of sheep that blindly believed him and voted him in to be the president elect.

So instead of the MLK Boulevard, it becomes The Hobama expressway?
Next they will name a school after Manson and Ayers. Or how about 'the Ayers-Manson-Obama Field house' Dedicated to the Black Panthers and the SDS. It all makes about as much sense.

I support remembering Nov. 4, 2008 as the first day that many of us were not proud of our country. We can call it Voter Stupidity Day, National Kool-Aid Day, or Heil Obama Day.

I lived in Beacon, NY so named because during the Revolutanary War George Washington had a headquarters across the Hudson River in Newburgh and they used Mt. Beacon to signal with "beacon fires" I started in Spring Street School and they built a new elementary school, James Forrestal School. IHe was a former Secretary of Defense from Beacon, I would hate to see it named Barack Hussein Elementary school. Here is a link http://rdolan.hostcentric.com/deathofjamesf.html on his death I had not seen until tonight.

Lynn, I agree, he has a lot of the things the Bible speaks about for the anti-Christ. I have always thought of that happening much further in the future.
This naming things after Obama is so sick, like some kind of mental illiness.
What gets me too is if he was a Republican and Black and had won this election. The media would be attacking him like crazy. So it isn't only that he is black, he is a democrat. The media won't admit to that either.

Bob A, yes he has done that, he is their cult leader that's for sure.

Mark, oh man that would be something if they did this name you did heh heh "Hobama expressway". hahhahahhaa
Your right, all the MLK things can now be named after Obama. Yes Black Panthers is what they might as well name them.
