The name change would immortalize ‘small acts of resistance in our cityscape,’ the petition’s organizer wrote

    The Change.org petition urges city officials to rename Wabash Avenue “Barack Hussein Obama Ave.”

    It was only then that I realized it’s:

    (Petition to rename Trump Tower’s Chicago address after Obama) racks up thousands of signatures

    …not:

      Yeah same, I was like

      THANKS OBAMA!

      But, quickly realized Obama himself wasn’t collecting all them signatures.

      Would be a lot cooler if he did.

      The sentence is ambiguous but I guess they did that on purpose for clicks.

    If they do, can they also fully capitalize HUSSEIN in the name, as someone else seems to insist on doing all the time?

      It’d be on a street sign so it’d all be in all caps

    LOL, I love this.

    Also, I’d love to see Obama given a few more Nobel Peace Prizes…

    In addition, I think other bodies should give Obama lots of honorary things - maybe a Grammy and an American Music Award for that time he busted into Amazing Grace.

    Is it mostly symbolic? Sure. Maybe a bit petty? Yeah. But the right has purposefully done most of their things to annoy over half the country instead of doing anything to help most Americans. Giving Obama a few more awards and naming more stuff after him is relatively low cost and unlike Donvict, most people actually like Obama.
