Hawaii officials drop plan to name park for Obama

From the article: "...there may be other public facilities more appropriate to honor the president."

I've got a couple of ideas on what those "facilities" might be, but I'd like to hear yours!

    Given that "Columbus" is no longer politically correct, perhaps Columbia University will be renamed for Obama. When he leaves public office, he can become president of Obama University. No wait. This just isn't sufficient to honor the One. His statue could replace the Statue of Liberty. AND four of his poses could be carved into Mount Rushmore to replace those lesser lights.

    I liked 2 statements particularly..."Chairman Ernie Martin decided to withdraw the proposal after hearing from the public." and

    "Martin says in a statement that he heard historic and cultural sensitivity concerns from the community about the name change."

    The first is absolutely true,......the second couldn't be further from it!

    The article ends with "--there may be other public facilities more appropriate to honor the president."
    If such a place has to be in Hawaii, I'm thinking the Honolulu sewage treatment plant. I'm also thinking that a big picture of Obama's stupid smiling face should be set up beside it.
    The additions of a paste-on red clown nose and a dunce cap would help to beautify such only appropriate for a treatment plant kinda sight. Should that location become a stop for a tourist bus so people may point and laugh, the arrival times should be two hours before and after lunch. Some folks have weak stomachs.

      That would be the Sand Island waste water treatment and it could be quite the fitting title. See this one gets a bunch of epa fines for only primarily treat the ww before sending it offshore via an underwater pipe. So it's continually spewing crap, much like the great leader.

      I was glad to see results of an online survey was 90% against the idea. The city council is a joke.

    how about a marker on the top of the volcano.
    and next to it the library with the books he supposedly wrote, 2 or 3
    hooray for hawaii for recognizing his incompetence.

    Actually, it's Obama's mother who is responsible for him being born in Hawaii. Maybe naming it Mama Obama Sandy Beach, would satisfy the dissenters. Or, there are several monument-like rocks in the area. You could have Barak Rock near Mama Obama Beach. Or better still, just put up a copy of that bogus looking birth certificate on a billboard and let it go at that.
