It was only a matter of time. A New York school has been renamed in honor of President-elect Barack Obama.
The former Ludlum Elementary School, in Long Island's Hempstead Union Free School District, was renamed at a school board meeting Thursday -- effective immediately.
School officials say most of the 440 students there are black or Hispanic, and Obama's victory is a source of great pride.

All sanity has been lost. Has ground been broken yet for the memorial in DC?

Dunno. But I do know the Smithsonian Museum of American History already has an Obama exhibit.

“Obama’s victory is a source of great pride”
As is the belief that the ancient Egyptians were black.

OMG...shades of Zimbabwe in this one. When will all US currency be scraped of the evil white opressors? That is their next step. This country is on the way down unless something drastic happens.

It doesn’t matter what he achieves. He will get a monument because he is 12% black. Heck they may even rename Reagan National after Him. That would be the ultimate slap in the face to this nation.
