Given the state of Chicago education, the school is probably going to be an expensive, educational disaster so why not name it after Obama?

I agree with the loser mayor. I guess I wouldn’t want a high school named “Traitor” or “Degenerate Loser” in my community.

When Emanuel announced the new school, some wondered why Obama College Prep was not being built on the South Side in the president's Kenwood neighborhood/ or in the community where first lady Michelle Obama grew up, rather than in a well-to-do part of the predominantly white North Side. LOL - Yeah, rather than name a High School in Kenwood or Hyde Park - (black neighborhoods in Chicago) - after a black President... let's name a school in a white Republican neighborhood after Obama. Yeah, that will stick it to 'whitie'... eff those white conservatives and they're kids... We'll show them.
If Democrats could name predominately Jewish High Schools 'Mohammad High' they would do it because they're little balls of pure hate - thinly attempting to disguise themselves as 'tolerant'...

Not only that, but it’s supposed to be in the same neighborhood as was the infamous Cabrini-Green public housing project (now demolished).

I have a feeling Chicago is coming to the slow realization that its “favorite son” doesn’t really give a crap about the place. And never did, except as the very best launching pad to get a corrupt political career off the ground.
