The irony is that the stretch of road in question goes through old, decrepit warehouses and empty storefronts, along side some old railroad tracks. It almost seems fitting, in a cosmic sort of way, to name this rotten, bankrupt, eyesore section after HRH Barack Obama.

(I didn't know what category to assign, as we don't have one called "Travesty" or "Tragedy", so I'm going with "History" and hope for the best.)

    I couldn't read the article because the JCPenny popup wouldn't go away.

      God bless Google, huh? (As an aside, the new iteration of Apple's OS X will have included software that will block pop-ups. Window's will be sure to follow...that will put a dent in Google's cash flow, huh?)

      In any event, the story is about the mayor of Riviera Beach, Florida who wants to change the name of Dixie Highway due to it being a reminder of slavery, oppression, etc., and replace it (in Riviera Beach) with the President Barack Obama Highway. The story that I referenced was in the Washington Times. Go there and check it out, if you can. It's worth the read!
