They could find a couple of outhouses to put the dork’s name onto.
Not too many would object, since the name “Obama” is “sh**” to all those with above room temp IQ.

The public rest room at Kuhio beach would be a good alternate choice

I think it may be the obola that put it over the top.

No matter-naming a fancy golf course would really be more appropriate anyway...

Spent many a day there in my high school years. It would have been a crime to give this beautiful spot such an awkward, silly name. Not that anyone would have called it that anyway.

Nooooooooooo, won’t happen. Zero could eat a live human baby and his worshippers would say the baby had it coming. The only way they’ll give him up is when they breathe their last breath which with him importing the ebola may be very soon.

One of the most popular local comments was that they should name a public restroom after him:
"it is full of shiite, doesn't work, and is basically useless"
To: Nepeta
My guess is that the locals like the name the beach has now. That the current name has more significance and attachment to the place. Nothing against Obama, in other words, the objection is relative to the current name on the beach.

I would have thought Hawaii would be the last place to turn on Barry. But then, in the case of a pandemic with major shipping disruptions, Hawaii would be in a very bad place.

According to Obama, at least they still love him in the country of his birth.
