Graham renews push to name park “Barack Hussein Obama Park”

Last year I wrote about Jim Graham’s idea to rename the 14th and Girard Street Park (that’s the official name) to Barack Hussein Obama Park. Nothing happened with that, but he’s now reintroducing the bill to the DC Council. We’ll see what comes of it. In 2009, “Graham stressed that Obama’s middle name would also be included in the park’s name. (During the campaign, Obama shied away from highlighting his middle name, but he used it when he was sworn in).”

In case it wasn’t clear, this is the little park at the corner that was recently renovated.

I like the name personally. Any who knows, maybe the President will visit, as he has before. Your thoughts?

Share.
