Joe Biden cant get anyone to name a school after him

President Obama already has seven schools around the country named after him, so you'd think Vice President Joe Biden wouldn't have a problem getting his name plastered on just one school in his home state of Delaware.
But, as ABC News' Karen Travers reports, residents in Delaware's Brandywine School District on Tuesday voted against a bid to name a newly-build elementary school after the Veep, who represented the state for 36 years in the Senate.
The move came after an anonymous website led a campaign to block the Biden name, calling it inappropriate to name a school after a sitting public official. "Biden will receive his honors in time," the site said. "Let's not make this one of them."

That's a shame.
They re-name all the Bosley Institutes after him.
Yes, that is a shame. But until someone establishes, say, a “Joe Biden School of Gaffes and Verbal Diarrhea,” I don’t think it will happen in the near future, either.
Yeah, it is a shame-—that anyone would name a school after obammy......
There must be a school for the mentally ill that could use a name.
Biden Federal Prison has a ring to it....
maybe a reform school...
I now call this the "Joe"...
Crap goes through this and out into the world just like it does with old Joe...
Not even a clown school?
Maybe a lunch counter: Bite Me!
Maybe he shoot for the special ed wings. Or maybe a creative writing room (where you ARE allowed to look at your neighbor’s work). Total school? Ain’t gonna happen.
Kybo Joe.
I like it!
I think Biden Special Ed. has a ring to it.
I remember reading about one of those Obama schools. The article said this school was in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and the students were mostly black. And it said how appropriate, and how it would boost self-esteem and ethnic pride, for those students to attend a school named after Barack Obama. It said how the students would be inspired by learning about Obama, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Imagine the reaction among liberals and the MSM if someone had used all this reasoning and named a school after George W. Bush, while Bush was still president.
I just left a floater in the toilet and I named it Joe (the drunk) Biden.
Or an abandoned railway station?
While we’re at it, let’s create the Sheila Jackson Lee School of Diplomacy, and the Maxine Waters Institute of Capitalism.
