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.

Michelle Obama: "He hasn't done anything yet."

I think that is what we're concerned about.

[TRY ONE]

The Hempstead House Negro Skool

Has a nice ring to it.............

[VanDeKoik]

Ok, who wants to take bets as to when we get wall-sized paintings of this guy, like they have for 3rd world dictators?

[WildcatClan]

For that matter, why would Obama be a source of pride for black students? He’s black, they are black, and the pride is a matter of skin melanin?

[AndrewB]

Wow. They’re going to be pissed when they figure out that he’s really white.

[Dallas59]

Hail Dear Leader!

[CondorFlight]

Who would want to discuss social studies or politics in that school? Who would want to disagree with a teacher about some future aspect of Obama’s policy?

No kid!

It’s Orwell’s school time; probably have a “five minute hate” session at lunchtime, for the kids to shout out slogans, coming soon. . .

Okay, but are there any maddrassas named after him yet?

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a lot of trouble they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Listen to the recording here

The quote is around 12:35, so if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing, you can jump ahead.
The transcript reads:

Radio Jockey: President elect Obama's birth place over in Kenya -- is that going to be a national spot where he was born

Ambassador: its already an attraction. his paternal grandmother is still alive

Radio Jockey: his birth place...they'll put up a marker there

Ambassdor: its already well known.


Be sure to download the recording as well. The chances of it remaining online for long are remote.

If you have the skills to post it on Utube...please do.

The Arnold would have run for president long ago and likely won if he were a "natural born" american. He's not. He's naturalized. So he can't run. And he knows it. (though there were some trial balloons sent up a couple years back about changing the law.)

Like the Arnold, Obama looks to be a naturalized citizen--but maybe he's not even that.

In any case the supreme court--at Justice Thomas instigation-- is taking up the issue Dec 5

I saw a news report a week or so ago about another school in Oregon being named after him too. I wonder how many others have followed suit.

[taxesareforever]

Toilet?

[DocH]

Let's name it "The Hussein Ebony and Ivory School for Inna City Chilren"

I'm sure the first Socialist "Hussein Youth Corps" will be formed there.

[nickcarraway]

I’d rather name it for Stevie Wonder.

[JavaJumpy]

Even non-Christians are becoming uncomfortable with the idolization of a mere mortal who hasn’t done anything yet. What are people thinking?

[stylecouncilor]

ping

[SERKIT]

Soetoro High School, or Communist Martyr High (for Firesign Theatre fans).

[SERKIT]

Let's name it "The Hussein Ebony and Ivory School for Inna City Chilren"

I think you may be ebonically incorrect. I think it is "churrin".

[ronnie raygun]

This is a first, name the school after a man who has done nothing yet! goog job! you all get an D of coarse the D will be in blue because we don’t want To hurt your feelings

They might have waited until BO actually achieved something.

They might have waited until BO actually achieved something POSITIVE.

There--fixed it ;-)

It might be a long wait to get something positive.

[KJC1]

How about renaming the whole country in honor of this flim-flam man? The United Husseins of Obama.
