Stretch of road in Los Angeles renamed Obama Boulevard

A concert and ceremony Saturday unveiled Obama Boulevard. The street replaced Rodeo Road, a 3 ½-mile street that runs across the city's historic black neighborhood. It also intersects with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and further establishes a"presidential row" that includes Washington, Adams and Jefferson boulevards.

"As we drive through this city and we see past presidents on Adams, on Washington, on Jefferson, now we'll have one that was in our lifetime, who was a president for everybody: Barack Hussein Obama," Garcetti said. "For every child who will drive down this street and see the President's name, this will serve as a physical reminder that no goal is out of reach and that no dream is too big."

After the U.S. Supreme Court banned housing discrimination, and segregation was scaled back, black residents moved into the formerly white enclave of Baldwin Hills and established the first of L.A.'s black middle- and upper-class neighborhoods.

Are they gonna call it “Corporate Democrat Boulevard”? or “Warmonger Road”? How about “Wall Street Bitch Avenue”?

🤔 Other mass murderers would be very envious!

Does it have a wing man alley?

It’s a dead end

Who else would but California . . . . .

How many murders will take place there this year?

The portion of the roadway with human fetus and used needles ....no doubt ...obama highway

Interstate 75 will now be Trump highway

The best part of this renaming is how much it pisses off the Trump supporters.

Oh geezzzzzz

Isn’t this the 2nd or 3rd time you have posted this story? It’s already getting old

A man w/o legacy deserves Nobel peace prize & highway name after, what a life!? Who won’t want to be that?

Hopefully the only thing we name after realDonaldTrump is a cell block.

Love it....what a great way to honor history that is still being written

I love how the street sign also includes the word 'President' on there. These liberal bitches CANNOT get over the fact he is no longer the President anymore...he is just Barack Obama now 😂

Is there a road leading to a waste station that we can rename “Trump Dump”?

The Navy announced a new 'Trump ' class ship. Its a garbage and sewage barge that leaks and was built in Russia.

Wow! Awesome 👏🏽

I’m very glad I don’t live on that street

Cant wait for New York to become Trump City...only fair seeing the economy booming!

Chesterfield Square would have been a more appropriate choice.

realDonaldTrump perhaps you’ll have this honor bestowed upon you in Moscow: Bul’var Orange Bloatard. I can see it now.

It has a Red Line on it that doesn’t mean anything.

Barack Obama set this country back decades. We have only scratched the surface of recovery from the damage he caused with ACA and the Iran deal.

Just another reason NOT to move to LA.

Can' wait to pee on the street corner! 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣

How about Barack Obama’s spyway.

🤮

The orange one won’t be happy.

Interesting. How did they ever find a road that goes downhill in both directions?

Is it the stretch of road known as 'Skid Row?'

A dead end street with only the left lane?

Muy tercermundista

Barack Obama promised so much but achieved fuck all really. I suppose having a Boulevard named after him is just about right

shocker

👍👍

I don't want Trump to feel left out now that President Obama has a road named after him, so I made this in honor of Trump. MondayMorning MondayMotivation mondaythoughts

soon we'll be naming prisons after Trump.

Nice

Kenyan Domestict Terrorist Ave.

Why?

Our first and hopefully last president from Kenya. I remember him
