‘Kennedy Center’ Name Being Changed to ‘Obama Center’

 oped: Is there no shame with the looney left progressives narcism?

The New Jersey town of Willingboro has fond memories of the late President John F. Kennedy and wishes to keep them alive. 
As My9NJ reports, “Residents there can take a stroll down John F. Kennedy Way, browse the stores at the John F. Kennedy shopping plaza and even get pampered at the John F. Kennedy Nail Salon and beauty supply store.”

But one thing many people are not happy with is the Township Council’s decision to change the name of the recreation center and former school, the “Kennedy Center” to the “President Barack Obama Center.”  

After the announcement, citizens of Willingboro blasted the decision on the town’s Facebook page on August 7, with one concerned person writing, “Next thing you’ll know, they’ll demand Washington, D.C. rename the Lincoln Memorial after Al Sharpton.”

Another wrote, “They should just call it the “Thug President Disgrace Center” Worst pres in history!”  


A review of the township’s Facebook page showed no comments in favor of changing the name to the “Obama Center.”

It was Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Jennings idea to rename the Kennedy Center to the Obama Center according to Philly.com: 
I think that people have a sense of pride about him. . . . We had so many new people register to vote, people who had never voted before, people who were disenfranchised,” Jennings said Wednesday. “All of a sudden, we had maybe 8,000 people register to vote. We had lines . . . people wrapping around the buildings when the polls opened. It was a sense of history, everybody wanted to be a part of it.”
