HONOLULU -- Stanley Chang hatched a plan last year to overcome seven years of failed attempts to name something after Hawaii's most famous native son.
His target: Sandy Beach, a stunning strip of sand and volcanic ash that he hoped to re-christen "Barack Obama Beach."
Chang had heard from a congressional staffer that Obama often spoke fondly of body surfing there as a teen. And he had read an interview in which the president described his ideal day as one spent at the Oahu beach.
"It was almost a prose poem," Chang said. Obama imagined a sea turtle swimming in profile, "like a hieroglyph in the water," the rolling crest of a perfect wave, the sunset "glittering" as the swimsuit-clad commander in chief sipped a soda.
Chang, who recently stepped down from the HonoÂlulu City Council, submitted his bill, insisting that the beach was one of the president's "favorite places in the world."

How about if the sand is half-white?

Nah, now that I’ve typed that it seems too highfaluting.
Didn’t they move or relocate Bammy’s statue in some Indonesian park?
I’m sure there are multitudes of public restrooms just begging for a name.

No beaches. Do something that commemorates what he sees as his true mission as President. Name the building housing the “changing” rooms on the beach after him and make them all transgender ready.
there's gotta be a rest stop bathroom someplace they could slap it's name on something like 0bama's Gloryhole or somesuch
There is the Barak Obama sewage treatment plant.
I've seen references to a pretty nasty canal.
