Los Angeles Will Celebrate Unveiling of ‘Obama Boulevard’ With Day-Long Party

By /

Obama Boulevard will be unveiled this weekend and the city of Los Angeles intends to celebrate with a day-long festival featuring ’80s hip hop sensation, Doug E. Fresh.

Last summer, the city council voted unanimously to rename a 3½-mile stretch of Rodeo Road to ‘Obama Boulevard.’ The road should not be confused with the more popular Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

“We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President [Obama] when traveling across L.A.,” Mayor Eric Garcetti beamed.

This Saturday, they intend to celebrate that decision when they unveil the new road meant to honor the first black President of the United States.

Free Party

Amazingly enough, one must register for the event by handing over their information such as name, address, telephone number, etc. It would seem more appropriate to celebrate Obama by allowing anyone to attend, regardless of having papers (tickets). Open borders and no voter ID for the big festival, as it were.

They did get one thing right, though – the Obama celebration is free.

“The location selected for the ceremony and festival is where Obama Boulevard will intersect with Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, creating one of the most significant African American points of interest in the country,” an online flyer reads.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the section where the road runs is often referred to as the “Black Beverly Hills.”

Not Everyone is Happy

Not everyone has celebrated the choice of roadway.

“Obama is something we’ve never had, and in my lifetime we thought we would never see it,” one local gardener told the Los Angeles Times last summer. “He deserves more than a little bitty street.”

In fact, the Times added, “most Angelenos would be hard-pressed to locate Rodeo Road on a map.”

Not to mention the former President has a legacy of making the racial divide in this country far worse than it was on the day of his historic election, while presiding over terrible unemployment rates for minority groups. On nearly every leading economic issue, Black Americans lost ground under his administration. Perhaps ‘Black Beverly Hills’ isn’t the best choice.

There is historical significance to the location, however. Obama held a campaign rally at the Rancho Cienega Sports Center and Park, located on the boulevard that will now bear his name, his first stop in California after announcing his bid for the White House.

L.A. City Council President Herb J. Wesson, who spearheaded the effort to rename the road has coined the event “ObamaFest LA.”

The former President has been invited but there is no indication he will attend.

    Of course we knew that his mother was White, but remember that BOTH of her husbands were Black, and Barack attended Muslim Schools. In MY opinion, his mother was White and Christian, in NAME only ! In addition, just about EVERY Black person in the Country voted for Obama, because THEY consider him Black !

    Wow, the racists and haters are out in force in this comments section:

    Obama gave you quality health care.

    He took the country from the great recession, caused by the tax breaks of GW Bush, to the longest stretch of job growth in history, leaving the country in terrific economical shape that the Dumpster has claimed credit for.

    Cut unemployment in half, from 10% to 5%.

    Cut the deficit by 3/4.

    He got billions in infrastructure projects going.

    Tripled the stock market averages.

    Saved the auto industry and millions of associated jobs.

    If you can’t face these facts, you need to learn to read.

    It’s right down from Ugga Bugga Ave. Promoters say “Tons of Banana’s will be served” and first aid stations will be set up offering treatment for knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and drug OD’s.

    I often wonder how smart white people are, and can they take a not so subtle hint?

    This article suggests and implies what the future of the USA will come to if Democrats get their way, that white people will be excluded from government, and all decision making about it’s future, only allowed to stay and live here as enslaved citizens under the rule of Democrat people of color, even excluding Democrat white people.

    The future of this nation, that white people formed and made great by the documents (Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, & US Constitution) that they wrote, instituted, and memorialized, from their own inherit beliefs of principles and philosophies that have made this country and it’s people great, by abiding by those documents for all these years, until now when the people of color are informing white people that their time has come to an end, and people of color will take over the nation from now on.

    This isn’t the only implication, from the Democrat people of color, that white people are done and finished in running this nation. For over three years the Democrat’s people of color have been threatening this constantly, and this has been reported by their lapdog liberal biased mainstream media. This is the reasoning behind the Democrats in the US Congress refusing to secure our southern borders with a wall, allowing an invasion of more people of color that consists of illegal immigrants, drug smugglers, and human traffickers.

    It all comes together.

    Question: How much did this cost the taxpayers? All those new street signs, new maps, etc etc etc. Ironic that the now (Thank God) Ex-President’s boulevard is going to intersect with MLK Jr boulevard since MLK was a staunch Republican and would have opposed many of Obama’s policies. Most especially Obama’s praise for black hate groups.

    They should re-name the street that the homeless/tent city people live on to Obama Blv. that would be fitting. Thanks to Obama and the rest of the DEAMONRATS telling the world to come here in the firtst place and they end up on the streets of LA. a perfect place.

    Martin Luther King DESERVED to have a Street named after him, as he was a man of PEACE! On the other hand, Barack Obama, as President, caused nothing but TROUBLE, by causing a problem with Race, relations, and the Police ! I can’t think of even ONE good thing that he was responsible for ! He is ONLY getting this honor, because he was a Black President, NOT because he was a good one !
