wild, but it's the innocent who suffer in this shuffle Barack H. Obama Elementary to close By Rachel Rose Hartman The Barack H. Obama Elementary School in Asbury Park, N.J. will be shuttered this summer, largely due to low enrollment, the Asbury Park Press reports. Bruce N. Rodman, the official who oversees the district's finances, determined that it was necessary for one of the district's elementary schools to close and the Obama school's enrollment had dropped 35 percent in the past 10 years, the newspaper reports. The Bangs Avenue School elected in 2010 to change its name to Barack H. Obama Elementary. At the time that the school acquired its new name, administrators took a lot of flak for ostensibly focusing on the name change instead of the plight of its students. But the city resident behind the movement, Myra Campbell, believed it would "send a subliminal message" to the students. "Every time they walk through the school doors, there's going to be a certain amount of pride in where they go to school," Campbell told the Star-Ledger in 2009. "We now move forward in trying what we can to improve the academic skills of the students and also the social skills." At the time, another New Jersey school had already been renamed after the president. About 1,000 students will be reassigned to local schools in the fall.
I'm kind surprised by how few bodyguards president bring to these ..."public" outings I remember reading about Bush only had like two secret service agents at the 08 Olympics basketball opening game between China and US
Doesn't matter. But, I'll take the opportunity to say I really hate it when things are named after people who are still alive. Wait until they die and remove any chance that their future actions will embarass you.
Yeah, very fitting. Obama is such a horrible leader that he started this school down this path a decade before they even named it after him.
That would be hilarious if Obama turned out to be like Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks. "How you doin this fine day sir? May i say your dookie smells like sparkling icewater with a twist of lime. See, that's why he don't have to wash his hands, neither. Yessir, white man has impeccable hygiene."---Uncle Ruckus

I agree. It is always funny when schools close. It makes me want to LMAO or ROTFL or THUGYTREREOWWZXXVT. You know what I mean, powder puff? Forreal. Amirite? True 'nuff. Keep on rockin in the free world, little moondrop. It reminds me of that famous song: Day after day I like to eat moonpies and run in the garden of your earthly delights cuz babe, you are the one the one I know will take me from this place
Obama school is closing! Did you hear he went to Rio yesterday, can you believe that? Obama gave his picks for the NCAA tournament, doesn't he have better things to do? People are idiots.
Yep, following the biggest sporting event in the country and going to games with the general populace puts you out of touch. bigtexxx- sense maker.
