The governing body of one New Jersey town voted in favor of renaming the local Kennedy Center after the current White House head — and calling it the Barack Obama Center — and some residents aren’t exactly happy.
Philly.com reported that the renaming came at the request of Willingboro Township Mayor Jacqueline Jennings, after she recalled how the black population in the region reacted with excitement at the campaign and election of Mr. Obama.
“I think that people have a sense of pride about him,” she told Philly.com. “We had so many new people register to vote, people who had never voted before, people who were disenfranchised. … All of a sudden, we had … people wrapping around the buildings when the polls opened. It was a sense of history. Everybody wanted to be a part of it.”
But plenty of local residents are upset at the town council’s name change.

Trust me. Somehow, some way, they are getting our tax dollars.
Just like democrats. Quick to exhibit the depth of their loyalty to an assasinated Democrat president. Depth about as deep as a sheet of paper.
This severe diss is to President Kennedy whose death in office, gets trumped by the word “black”. Period. And, nothing else.
A word of advice: If you find yourself needing to use a two-story version of this particular type of “Obama Center”, ALWAYS seat yourself on the upper floor.
They have a perfectly good sewerage plant they could have disgraced with Obama’s name instead of incurring the cost of renaming their Community Center.
That would be more appropriate for Clinton. But now a bath house....
Good purnt.
If he only thinks Barry’s a fag, the man needs to get his gaydar overhauled.
When I need to drop a Duce I say “ I’m taking Obama to the White House”....
I wonder how all those prior blacks who had a picture of JFK hanging proudly over their mantles feel now....bet it has been replaced with a picture of King Putt. Frankly if it is the right size, it makes an excellent bird cage or cat box cover.
Isn’t this the same group that sang “Barack Hussein Obama, hmmm hmm, hmm.”
So they might rename their police station after Mumia Abu-Jamal?
...except with fewer white people...
Is it April?
Who cares if one MSM touted wunderkind is replaced by another MSM touted messiah.
What have you got against sewerage plants, anyway?
Were they disenfranchised or were they part of a fad?
Well she said it herself; "Everybody wanted to be a part of it."
Obama was and is a fad. Nobody that is following that fad wants to admit it but that is the truth. Nobody wants to admit that they were drawn in to that fad.
Now that he is in office and has a power base and an army of defenders willing to sling the race card at any one brave enough to attack their sacred cow few will assault the One with the truth that "The Emperor ahas no cloths.
The ONLY thing that should ever be named after O’Beelzebub is the wing that houses him in solitary confinement in the federal penitentiary.
I’m surprised it’s not a Gay Bath house.............
Democrats do not seem to understand that failing to vote is not the same thing as being disenfranchised.
