    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.

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

    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.

      most people actually like Obama

      I know of a few Pakistani Kids who would beg to disagree, sorry I forgot they are dead.
