Mayor Rahm Emanuel backed off Thursday from naming a new elite high school after President Barack Obama amid ongoing criticism from African-Americans who felt the honor inappropriate for a school slated for a wealthy, predominantly white part of the Near North Side.
Instead of naming the new school after his former boss, the mayor indicated he would consider other names for the selective enrollment high school set to be built near the site of the former Cabrini-Green public housing project just northwest of downtown.

Tuffy Gessling for mascot.
Cabrini Green, a monument to liberalism and community organizing. Right up there with Pruitt Igoe. It deserves the name Obama High.
I wonder who pinched his tit to make him change his mind.
The symbolism would be more appropriate to his legacy
Nah call it the Velvet Jones Technical School. {one of Eddie Murphy’s characters on SNL}
Whitey's not good enough to bear the name of a piece of sludge. They should be relieved.
Racism is alive and well in black America...
Well, they got it partially right; Obama is certainly not a President for all of us. He is a despot ruling over much of the country without the rle of law that goes with being President.
Barack Obama High School. Shouldn’t that be a warning label?
“....African-Americans who felt the honor inappropriate for a school slated for a wealthy, predominantly white part of the Near North Side.”
But those white libs are Obama’s peeps, not Black Americans. He doesn’t care about them, unless they have the misfortune to be killed by a white (or slightly white) person.
In fact, if they could find a neighborhood that was entirely comprised of gays and illegals that would be the perfect place for the school.
How about naming it, “Commie Martyrs High School”...
Name it after the author of “Dreams of My Father”, Bill Ayers.
