I have always thought that no public highway, building, monument or whatever, should be named after a politician until he has been dead for at least ten years....
That policy not only saves current political pressures - (witness every federal building in W Va. named after Senator Byrd) but allows sufficient time to evaluate the true worth of the honoreee...
Thus, I was disappointed to hear that Orlando has just named a new highway after BO with 2½ years to even serve his first term..
I became a little less concerned though, when I researched and found out that 'President Barack Obama Parkway' is only 800 feet long and is a dead end.....
Maybe someone on the Orlando city council has a sense of humor!!!
