State lawmakers Tuesday gave final approval to designating a section of the 134 Freeway as the President Barack H. Obama Highway in honor of the 44th president of the United States.

Supporters of the measure will now raise the private funds needed to place signs with Obama's name along the section of the 134 between the 210 Freeway and the 2 Freeway, which includes parts of Glendale, Pasadena and Eagle Rock.

Are they going to build the Trump U-turn on it that lets you turn around after going down the Obama highway before you get to the Crooked Hillary tollway?

...but they can take down a Confederate statue because it makes them uncomfortable? I am VERY UNCOMFORTABLE seeing even the name of Obama on a street sign! What about MY comfort zone?

Is that the road that goes into a tunnel just as it gets to the Alimentary Canal?

That stretch of highway is paralleled in part by Suicide Bridge.

Maybe we can rename it Arkancide Bridge to honor Obama's partner in crime as well.

The freeways here in California are covered in potholes and falling apart all the time despite the biggest state income tax plus the biggest state sales tax...so it just seems oddly approriate to name a freeway after the politician who wasted the most tax payer money in history.
