Hawaii can’t seem to name anything after native son Obama

HONOLULU -- Stanley Chang hatched a plan last year to overcome seven years of failed attempts to name something after Hawaii's most famous native son.

His target: Sandy Beach, a stunning strip of sand and volcanic ash that he hoped to re-christen "Barack Obama Beach."

Chang had heard from a congressional staffer that Obama often spoke fondly of body surfing there as a teen. And he had read an interview in which the president described his ideal day as one spent at the Oahu beach.

"It was almost a prose poem," Chang said. Obama imagined a sea turtle swimming in profile, "like a hieroglyph in the water," the rolling crest of a perfect wave, the sunset "glittering" as the swimsuit-clad commander in chief sipped a soda.

Chang, who recently stepped down from the Hono­lulu City Council, submitted his bill, insisting that the beach was one of the president's "favorite places in the world."

If the sand is white, Stanley Chang is a racist.

I live two blocks from the beach, but the sand is NOT racist, because the sand is black. It's weird.

I thought Edward Ryon Makuahanai Aikau was Hawaii’s favorite son.

Is there a park that the Choom Gang used to get stoned at?

Something relevant to Obama’s days in Hawaii?

I’ve walked on Sandy Beach. Name a road after him or the new rail line...but don’t pollute beautiful Sandy Beach with the name of an Americano traitor.

Ping to WaPo front page article on Hawaii’s failure to name anything for “favorite son” Barry quoting Schatz who knows Barry is ineligible, of course, because Schatz refused to sign off on Barry’s HI statement to that effect for Pelosi back in 2008! Eyewash alert over pics of Barry and M...

“Obama’s return to the place of his birth also calls to mind an embarrassing record of legislative stumbles: Since 2009, Hawaii’s politicos have sought to name two schools, an abandoned lot, a scenic overlook and two state holidays after Obama. An effort to put the 1960s-era cinder-block apartment building — where he lived — on the National Historic registry also fell short.”

“For now, the most famous thing that bears Obama’s name here is the ‘Snowbama,’ a shaved ice that’s a mix of lemon, lime, cherry and passion guava flavors and sells for $4 at Island Snow, one of the president’s favorite vacation haunts.”

“’Because he’s still president, it felt a little goofy and opportunistic for people to run around trying to honor him as if his public service was already complete,’ said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).”

I haven’t gone through the 1,700 comments to this article, but I wonder if anybody has articulated a challenge to Brian Schatz over his strange refusal to sign off on Barry’s constitutional eligibility in Hawaii back in 2008!

My neurological condition prevents me from attempting such an articulation on short notice at this time in the WaPo comments section, but maybe some intrepid FReeper might want to put something in the historic record?

They all know the truth and don’t want to be embarrassed by having to change the name a second time. ?????

I wouldn't even name a TURD after that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF !

Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.
The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II,
because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so
,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death,
and then have his body deported back to Kenya.

Here are some articles to assist in defining "WHO" and "WHAT" Obama IS.


This disgusting Curse on our Nation named Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetoro, has a real birth certificate, with his right footprint on it.
All you have to do is look for it.


WHY IS IT that EVERYTHING the LAME Stream Media has done in support of the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is based upon LIES ?
Read Why did Youtube pull this video about Barack Obama?
and watch BREAKING NEWS! - Is Barack Obama Really A Saudi / Muslim "Plant" in the White House?.

No.
CORRECTION: Barack Obama, the first black Arab-American -Kenyan pResident of the United States.
