ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- As President Barack Obama was set to depart on an overseas trip Friday, he faced some sobering news back home -- a school bearing his name was to be shuttered because of low enrollment.
The Barack H. Obama Elementary School in Asbury Park, N.J., will close its doors this summer as part of a school district consolidation plan resulting from a declining number of students there, the Asbury Park Press reported.
Students at the school, previously known as the Bangs Avenue School until it was renamed for Obama two years ago, will be reassigned to two separate schools when its doors officially close July 1, the report said.

A more accurate memorial would be to turn it into a miniature golf course.
And lose the title.
Smart parent. Who would enrol their kid to a school that worship Obama
That big “O” sure looks like a zer0 to me.
Is this it? Bangs Ave in Asbury Park?

Greatschools rating is 1 out of 10, with a whopping 16% of the student body passing the literacy tests.
For diversity sake, maybe Holder will force the school to lower the standards for passing grades.
Who wants to send their children to 0’dumbo Elementary?
They renamed it two years ago?
Why?
What on earth had he done to deserve this honor other than give ONE good speech a few years earlier?
Unbelievable.

I think it would be a great place for his Presidential Library.
Who wants their child to go to a school where they can’t find his transcript?
is it possible to OD on schadenfreude?
Obama is - at best -slightly below average. Couple that with a non-existent moral ability ( e. g. liberal) and we have a prime example of nothingness.
“is it possible to OD on schadenfreude?”
I have to be honest, I never thought of such things until Obama was “elected”. And I am guilty of it. I enjoy reading of his failures. I personnally opened a nice bottle of wine when he didn’t get invited Royal wedding. It convinced me that I was not alone in my disdain for him, and I am not alone. I can see that there is still very smart powerful people out there that will not put up with him if they do not have to. I enjoy his failures, and I look forward to seeing him leave the office of the President of the United States of America in January of 2013.
They must have suspected it was
likely to fail before they renamed it.
Karma.
Kismet.
Close the Obama school over low enrollment? You gotta be kidding me. Enrollment will be mandatory! And there will be Quran classes!!
