CHICAGO (AP) - A member of Chicago's first political family running for mayor is suggesting that an expressway on the city's South Side be renamed after former President Barack Obama and the family of the man it's named after now isn't happy.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My money is on black privilege winning this one.

[Bullish]

Just might as well name the whole south side Obama.

[Dr. Sivana]

A lot of people use an alternate version of Obama’s name when describing the highway after 3pm.

[LouieFisk]

It’ll be solved the Chicago way, likely involving a bunch of dead bodies on Valentine’s Day - i.e. pretty much like any other day in Chitown.

The BO expressway

[EC Washington]

The Dems push through the Bishop Ford Expressway named after a South Side Preacher no one ever heard of. Someone owed the South Side a big favor and the Bishop Ford Expressway was the result.

[max americana]

do we have to name every POS road after that Kenyan asshole?

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

The Obama Highway:

It keeps going round in circles, leads nowhere and is totally useless. Similar to the Turd-owe interchage:

Massively expensive and totally useless. Think: the teenage 47 year old's virtue signaling of $50 million to Trevor Noah's charity endeavours.

[Founding Father]

I think every slum should be renamed Obamatown and every sewage plant Barackville.

[Robert DeLong]

No, change the whole state to Obama, or at least the whole city of Chicago, he deserves it, and so does the state. The Obama Bears, the Obama Blackhawks. Both have a ring to it.

[Blue House Sue]

By the time they are done, Obama will be on Mt. Rushmore.

[wally_bert]

By himself.

[faithhopecharity]

Chicago has seven huge sheit processing plants for its sewage. That means there are seven appropriate roads for this honorific

[Deplorable American1776]

The Obama Expressway should be from an EBT office to a junkyard...running through a slum...😁

[RightGeek]

I haven't been back to Illinois in years, but the Dan Ryan Expressway used to be like driving through a combat zone. They had chain link on all the overpasses to keep ferals from dropping stuff and you NEVER EVER would take any of the exits.

In other words it would perfect for Barky to glue his name onto.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like something out of Bonfire of the Vanities.

[Smellin Salt]

DAMMIT, that’s what I came here to say!!!

[grumpygresh]

Speed limit will be zero mph.

Cars not allowed due to global warming.

[Thumper1960]

I’m sure there’s a drag queen drag strip suitable for the former usurper to be honored with. Back doors are known as “Barrys”, you know.

[reg45]

Yes, but then the carbon output per mile travelled would be infinite.
