Rodeo Road — a 3.5-mile residential street in a predominantly African American community in L.A. — is being renamed after the former president, who held a campaign rally there in 2007 before he was elected.

Obama held a campaign rally at Rancho Cienega Sports Complex on Rodeo in 2007 when running for president.

Rodeo Road — not to be confused with Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills — is a 3.5-mile residential street in the predominantly African American Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw neighborhood. The street intersects with King Boulevard, “creating one of the most significant African American points of interest in the country,”Obama Boulevard will further establish a “presidential row” that includes Washington, Adams and Jefferson boulevards.

The President Barack Obama Boulevard festival opens at noon and will include appearances by artists Doug E. Fresh, Yo-Yo, BJ the Chicago Kid and Battlecat. At 5 p.m., Wesson, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Karen Bass and other city leaders will gather for the street name unveiling.It’s here! Join us May 4 for the Obama Blvd.

Hope it’s a dead-end like his presidency

Boulevard of broken dreams

Will they rename the road after the present community is displaced by new arrivals from south of the border? Just like Compton & Inglewood? 🤔

Prior to returning to his native Kenya, former President Obama shakes hands and rubs elbows with the Great Unwashed of Los Angeles.

Disgusting will they tear it down after he is proven to be the mob boss he is ordering spying and setting trump up for what they did. How about funneling money for uranium one. Stealing our money stimulus $

Meanwhile access roads to landfills across America are preparing to be renamed for the 45th president... TrumpBoulevard

😱🤨🤦🏻‍♀️👎🏻

Poop Shoot Road?

Obama Road...that goes nowhere.

Cheers

Failure

Yawn

How is that a street improvement?

Stand by for a proclamation from the Emperor claiming they can't change the name....🤪

Hahaha hysterical. Obama STILL costing taxpayers.

Nothing says come and take a crap here more than naming a street Obama Blvd.💩

Obama Blvd. aka; where the homeless go to take a ginormous steamy corn laced crap!💩

Yeah I live on Obama blvd and dronestrike ave

Wasn't this done months ago?

That road has a huge homeless population. Fitting.

They should rename it after President Trump: The only US President in recent memory to actually do anything for African-Americans, other than askfor their vote.

I was there then with my little kids. My daughter sat on my shoulders to see him. I’ll be there again celebrating with my now adult kids. Thank you, BarackObama!

He may have campaigned there but we the people paid for every inch of it...

Is it a dead end?

Great, name a street after a President who did NOTHING for the community just because he is 1/2 black. Wow...Democrats really think people are so simple minded. BLEXIT WalkAwayFromDemocrats

koalicija Obama-Baden

They should name it after Abdulrahman al-Awlaki

Hey realDonaldTrump all over the world people are taking your NAME off of buildings because of the hate that you create. A prison cemetery headstone will be the last time your title is engraved in stone. Here lies prisoner 9476302.

Trump shouldn’t be envious. Somewhere in the Southland the Trump Traitor Trash Mobile Home Park is being planned.

The best President ever!^.^

Obama was one of the worst presidents in US history. They should be proud of that fact.

president POTUS44 was nothing but a joke and still is. even his transgender husband Michael.

Now they can walk all over it like the rest of the world did to him

Mueller report a road map for charging Trump with obstructionRachel Maddow describes the publicly released, redacted Robert Mueller report, with Volume 1 describing the myriad contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia, and Volume 2 as a road map for charging Donald Trump with obstruction of justice either by Congress or after he leaves office. maddow So why didn't he?! Because there wasn't a case! Wanting to do something is not the same as doing it! I want a million dollars but I'm not going to rob a bank to get it. Dems just show what terrible losers they are and why they will lose everything in 2020! maddow GO RACHAEL! maddow I'm surprised Rachel Maddox isn't crying about this yet. How many episodes is she going to take up reading this entire report to her audience, one line at a time.

Grand jury dismisses assault charge against Army sergeant in road rage caseSgt. 1st Class Kai Waters said she was terrorized, and bumped, by another driver, then stabbed the other driver when confronted at a gas station. The grand jury made the right call. The video clearly shows that the sergeant was not the aggressor and was only defending herself. She should have never been charged IMO I believe I read the Sgt was driving her BMW. I can only imagine what the other woman was driving, but I'd bet it was some beat up car that screamed: 'I've done nothing with my life so my life sucks'! Envy and racism combined = crazy actions. Glad they dropped the charges. These are the same 'grand jury' folks who happily indicted anyone RobertMueller wanted against the president.
