Compton school is named for Barack Obama, a first in California
2009-01-17
First there were Obama T-shirts and bumper stickers. Now there's a Compton charter school named after the president-elect.The former Qued Charter Elementary School changed its name to the Barack Obama Charter School earlier this week. The original name was always intended as a placeholder -- "Qued" is a mash-up of "quality" and "education" -- and parents at the school overwhelmingly wanted the school to be named after Obama. The board approved the change unanimously

#3  They could end up being embarrassed if the One doesn't turn out to be the greatest president ever. But then I suppose they could just say he was the greatest president ever even if he wasn't.

#2  Before his reign has ended, if it ever ends, I suspect you'll see more name changes here in Obamaland.

#1  Appropriate since the rest of the country will look a lot more like Compton four years from now.
