I thought a vote for Obama meant you wouldn't have to go to school since the gubmint will do all the thinking for you.

The Oakland school board has voted to change the name of a small school to Barack Obama Academy, reportedly the first middle school in the country to adopt the name of the nation's 44th president.
While Obama has been in office fewer than 100 days, the 35 students at the former Alternative Learning Community public school persuaded the board Tuesday to make what they said was a historic change.

The school, which opened in 2007, enrolls primarily African American and low-income students.
Many of the students have had poor grades, lax attendance and suspensions in the past.

Model citizens, no doubt. It seems like their school has been aptly named.
They better put a rush on it before he self-implodes.
Remember what he said....”Our time has come.”
Yeah, apropoe!!
This is actually a good thing. Now, homebuyers have another red flag besides a Martin Luther King Blvd to look for in avoiding neighborhoods.
Sounds like one of those schools that trains future nanny-staters and welfare recipients.
The One is the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Soon EVERYTHING will be named after Uhbama.
Every town will have an Obama Street, Obama City Park, Obama High School....
Ooo! Ooo! How about "Err, Uhhh, the um Place Where Kids Lern Stuff"?
Speaking of “historic,” I wonder how many schools are named for Clarence Thomas?
At least King was six feet under before the personality cult thing took root.

See previous sentence for clarification.
Sounds like the perfect school for HIS name! LOL

Future Democrap voters.
GAG barf alert
Creepy.
Not ONE of the people in that picture looks REAL.
“Speaking of “historic,” I wonder how many schools are named for Clarence Thomas?”
Well I searched, found none...but I did find a Nixon Elementary, named after Richard. Was pretty surprised by that!

My new pharmacist is from Africa. Recently a black female customer called him a n*gger. He said to her, ‘Madam, do not confuse me with your people. My father hunted lions with a spear. I worked hard to get TO this country for an education and a better life.’
I can think of four better men for that Oakland school to be named for.
