This is Paul Robeson Blvd in Ferguson,Missouri.Given that Obola brought us more racial healing than any other President I think Mr Robeson would understand if it became Barack Hussein Obama Blvd.

Should it be the Barack Obama Expressway or the Barack Obama Tollway?
Democratic state legislators seem to agree that the hometown state senator made good should take his place alongside Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy and others immortalized in Illinois highways.
Two Illinois state representatives have competing plans to rename different Illinois highways after Obama.
On Jan. 26, state Rep. Robert Martwick, D-Chicago, submitted House Joint Resolution 0017 that would designate “the entirety of Interstate 294 of the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways as the “‘President Barack Obama Tollway,’” state legislative records show.
The move to designate all of Interstate 294 after Obama is in “recognition of President Barack Obama’s dedication to public service as an Illinois State Senator, U.S. Senator from Illinois, and President of the United States of America,” the resolution reads.
The same day, state Rep. La Shawn Ford, D-Chicago, announced he is drafting legislation that would rename the majority of Interstate 55 in Illinois as the “Barack Obama Expressway.”
According to a statement from his office, Ford will propose renaming the stretch of the expressway from the Tri-State Tollway to East St. Louis.

I-69
Nope there was a highway 666 maybe not I-666, as you say, not an interstate. So I should have left off the I-.
I think it was in New Mexico. Folks were afraid to drive on it. It was a docu-drama series long ago that did a story on it.
Left turning roundabout.
My vote is for the Jersey turnpike. I think it is the highest toll road in the country.
Is there an I-57?
There is. It goes right up Chicago’s bottom end.
Maybe Route 666. There is one in New Mexico - or was. The signs kept getting stolen, so I think it got re-numbered.
Highway to Hell.
I see it now. Not an interstate. They changed it to US 491 because of bad publicity. There are state route 666s in some other states, but no legends about them — yet.
Would it be cruel to wonder if they were going to name a rest stop after him?
Re number one to rt 666 and put his mane on it
Rename all MLK bullvardz in this country King Obama Highway. Strokes for the folks and keeps the goodie at hoodie.
I think the Highway to Hell would be most appropriate.
Seems pretty cannibalistic. Eisenhower had the interstate highway system built. Surely if anybody's name ought to be on one of them it should be his.
YES lol....send your suggestion to those IL pols.
For my part, Obama was a recurring bane of our existence. A pothole continually throwing our country out of alignment.
Don’t you dare, that’s on my work commute. Btw, I-69 = Most stolen sign on the federal interstate system.

Rename the “Dan Ryan” AKA the “Crash Ryan” after Obama as it leads right down to the south side hell hole around his manse.
There’s a state highway in northeastern Arizona that was once named “666”; it was renamed “191” a few years ago.
Oh, cr@p, I-55 is lined by red counties.
Doesn’t the person have to be dead?

What the name of that song?
“Highway to Hell?”
