Symbolism over substance.

Sounds perfect for Obama.

And it will always be beneath President Trump tower. I would say that this is fitting.

Isn't the joke on Obama here?

Interested in honoring a New Yorker with a street renaming? It's a somewhat circuituous route: A video produced by the city walks through the steps.

• First, the person that petitioners choose to be honored be deceased, and must have made "a significant contribution" to the neighborhood.

• Moreover, 75 percent of locals must sign the petition, though it's not clear how the city geographically defines who the locals are for that given thoroughfare (Community Board 2 in Brooklyn asks that "the number of signatories proportionate to the length/section of the street proposed to be co-named." Though it's unclear if CB2's position is universal, it also requests that the person to be honored to be deceased for at least three years, as "this period provides all parties with the perspective provided only by time").

• The petition is then submitted to the local Community Board for approval; if it passes muster, it's handed over to the parks committee of the City Council, after which the Council has to vote on it. (Bills are up for voting two to four times a year, per CB2.)

• The mayor is the final key to the administrative side of the equation, approving or vetoing the decision. LINK

So, when this goes into effect, Trump will “tower” over Obama. Sounds good to me!

Renaming 5th Ave as Barack H. Obama Avenue.

Good luck with that.

One little problem libtards.

NYC has a law prohibiting them from naming a street after someone until after they’ve been deceased for two years.

BTW, I hope they’re able to name a street after BHO in a couple of years.
