QUOTE FOLLOWS:

While I have been highly critical of recent efforts to rename schools and
highways after Barack Obama, finally there is one I can get behind.

Last week in the state of California, the Milpitas City Council voted 3-2 to
rename Dixon Landing Road to Barack Obama Boulevard. As much I think the
"Put-Obama’s-Namen-Things" movement is inappropriate because of his terrible
recordthis latest effort actually is very fitting. Why? Because the road in
question leads to the Newby Island Landfill, a recycling and composting plant
notorious for causing a "putrid stench" in the area. For decades residents
driving on that stretch of road have complained about the odors—similar to
the way patriots complained aboupoor economic growth, endless scandals,
deteriorating race relations and disastrous foreign policy during the Obama
years.

The symbolism isn't lost on Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran, who opposed renaming the
road for Obama. "Hundreds of thousands of drivers that take Interstate 880
south will pass Dixon Landing and hundreds of thousands of people are aware
that this is a place with an awful odor. It is going to be one of the biggest
embarrassments in the nation to rename this freeway exit Barack Obama
Boulevard. Republicans will have a field day." Tran notes that Newby Island
Landfill is the largest garbage dump in the Bay Area. "It takes in a majority
of the foul, obnoxious garbage from all over the Bay Area and as far as the
Central Valley. I believe there is at least tens of millions of waste that goes
to Newby Island on an annual basis." Perfect!

The name change isn't happening just yet. The city council will be assessing
the next steps and expense of the name change over the next few weeks.
