I think James Woods is going to be pissed.

Ummmmm... what if he's a complete failure as a president?

/You know, like nominating a Clinton for Sec. of State?

As an Obama supporter, I think this is neat. There are schools out there named for just about anyone. Heck, there is a school near here named for Benedict Arnold.

Still... in before the WHARRGARBL from the folks accusing us of hero worship.

/After the WHARRGARBL they will trod off to bed after saying this simple prayer to their patron saint... Ronald Reagan.
//"Oh Great Reagan, show these silly liberals the way and the truth of how schools should be named. Either Ronald Reagan or Ayn Rand. In Supply-Side economics we pray... amen."
///And lo Reagan replied unto them... "Where are my damned waffles"

its a little premature, isn't it? He has not even proved his citizenship yet.

I'm an Obama supporter, but it really would be better to wait till after he is out of office.

 
bulldg4life [TotalFark] 2008-11-21 05:15:59 PM  
what the f*ck is with people on both sides of the political spectrum not realizing that he hasn't even been f*cking inaugurated yet

christ, let his ass warm the seat in the oval office first

Heroic Poser: I think James Woods is going to be pissed.

James Woods is a High School...and it's Buddy Cianci Jr. High....I'm not sure what Quahog's elementary school is....

But, yeah, Ludlow Elementary might want to wait until Obama has reached the greatness of a Woods or a Cianci to rename the school.

Then again, maybe this Ludlow guy was such a dick they are just desperate for a name change.

They should not rename the Ronald Reagan Tollway in Illinois to the Barack Obama Tollway.

Has anyone seen the Barack Obama collector plate or the Obama gold coins?

Apparently you picked up the tard sandwich that another farker dropped a couple weeks ago.

Just about every White House child goes to private school for private reasons. This is considered the best approach for both security reasons and to avoid disrupting the learning environment for everyone else.

So please kindly shove that argument back up your bung hole.

Thanks.

"The prime minister of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda has said he's taking measures to have Boggy Peak renamed Mount Obama."

LOL - He's not a bad looking man, but I don't really swing that way...

/Sorry, it's been a long day at work and I'm a little starved for amusement.

Some people cannot get their heads out of their ass long enough to realize that he is just a man. But you all bow down to the Obamanation all you wish.

Ok instead of that, just rename the Tri-State Tollway, the Barack Obama Tollway.

It is heresy here on Fark.

A little premature. Actually, a lot premature.



/get a grip, people. He's not even sworn in as POTUS yet.

I think it should replace Jackson on the twenty because that was the douche who brought us "The Trail of Tears." NOT our nation's proudest moment.

Heresy? Really? Ever get itchy arms from making all of those strawmen?

That douche expanded democracy past those rich white land owners.

Jackson also had a large party at the White House when he was inaugurated. And I am talking HUGE here. People were shiatting on the carpet, stealing the China, shooting the windows out.

It was a great day to be an American.

 
The Faulty Bagnose 2008-11-21 07:52:42 PM  
Though I agree it's premature, even if he turns out to be a terrible President, or never even takes office, the election of the first African-American president is historic enough that he's bound to get stuff named after him.

Yesdog [TotalFark] 2008-11-21 07:55:16 PM  
You have to know (and as evidenced by some in this thread) that this is KILLING those on the right. They hate that people seem to admire Obama more than they hate Obama himself.

I guess they can't recognize what it feels like to have a leader that isn't a disgrace and/or international embarrassment.

 
DaBishop 2008-11-21 07:56:27 PM

Gosh, you've got me there. On the other hand, in here, it doesn't look like anyone, including Obama supporters, think this is a good idea.

That's nothing. I went to Zephram Cochrane High School.

Robert Ludlum is pissed off.

 
Aquiel 2008-11-21 08:01:34 PM  
Wow, I voted for the dude and have high hopes for him, but this is far too soon. He's not even the president-elect until the electoral college votes in a few weeks.

The rate things are going the first intern Obama bangs is going to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Latin Grammy and the Noble Peace Prize. So... what's Monica up to these days?

Interesting how it's irrationally exuberant "hero worship" when progressives name a school for Obama, but somehow it's totally normal and acceptable for right-wingers to name a school for George W. Bush.

 
Government Fromage 2008-11-21 08:09:25 PM  
I'm Barack Obama, and I'm getting a kick out of all these replies.

 
Lanctwa 2008-11-21 08:14:21 PM  
I believe they should never name a school/building/tollway/whatnot after a living person.

Dead people can't change their beliefs, and all their accomplishments can be identified.

 
Government Fromage 2008-11-21 08:15:36 PM  
Please tell me the only thing they'll ever name after GWB is a school for retarded kids.
