WILLINGBORO Willingboro is updating its presidential role models.

The township council voted Tuesday to rename the John F. Kennedy Center as the Barack Obama Center - and is to vote again on adding the word President in front of the center's new name.

The title is needed to remind future generations that Obama was the first black president of the United States, a resident suggested to township officials, council member Nathaniel Anderson said.

Why don’t they just call it the POSOTUS Center?

...and is to vote again on adding the word President in front of the center's new name.

The meeting AFTER that one will be to vote to add "Peace Be Upon Him" to the ending of the new name for the Center.

PRES-BHO-PBUH will be the complete new name. For ease of pronunciation it may be called the "Pres-B-Hop-Buh", not to be confused with Presbyterians, though. (apologies to Presbyterians out there. No disrespect meant)

The name "Pres-B-Hop-Buh" narrowly won out over two similar sounding runner up candidates, "Pres-Bee-Bop" and "Pres-Hip-Hop".

"Pres-Diddy-Bopper" was rejected as being "undignified".

Right, obviously symbolism the most important thing here,all of future humanity must be made to remember.
Yes lets celebrate the chosen one and affix his great alias upon all monuments in this country, so he be ‘remembered’ for one of the very few things he had no choice about or control over..
Now the lies,cover-ups,phoney documents,subterfuge, and divisiveness will be glossed over with a fresh coat of racist patronage

Ever traveled around West Virginia? I used to go there on business and liked to visit the beautiful spots. Every public building and bridge has Robert “Sheets” Byrd/Bird’s name on it.
