"President Barack Obama Parkway"?

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!!!
