KFI: You won’t be rolling down Rodeo Road any longer.
The City Council voted Tuesday to rename Rodeo Road in honor of former President Barack Obama. The change was initially proposed by council President Herb Wesson, who noted that Obama held a campaign rally at a site along the street in 2007 during his first campaign for the presidency.
Mayor Eric Garcetti celebrated the news in a post online Wednesday morning.
It’s official: our City Council has voted to rename Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard! We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President Barack Obama when traveling across L.A.

They can call it shit street for all I care. These mental midgets are pusillanimous turds.
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
Yeah, it’s a ghetto.
Named for Obozo? You mean, as in
Hershey Highway?
Way of the Jackass?
Deadend Speedway?
It, It, It, It, It, It, It, It, It, It, Wrong Way?
Married to a Moose Blvd?
I’ll bet $10 that all signage with his name on it get stolen
for use on outhouses, landfills and sewage treatment plant.
Tony R, I was thinking that, or gay bar boulevard.
The Hershey Highway is more appropriate.
It goes to the sewage treatment plant
It has such a third world feel to it. Fitting.
This generation’s answer to MLK blvd.
They celebrate the streets in San Francisco in honor of Obama also. But instead of changing the name of the street they have people depositing a likeness of him.
The question will be, how soon will it take to be able to by heroin or meth on Obama BLVD?
My 2 dirty bits:
HOdeo Blvd.
or
Skidmark Lane.
Property values on that street just went down 90 percent.
Because Boulevard makes it sound so much more important than it really is.
That’s not a street, it’s a sanitary sewer
I wonder if the residents had a say in that. Somehow I doubt it.
This could be a constant reminder of the Obama Rodeo Clown.
Thanks for the warning. It would be helpful if all no go zones would publicly identify themselves so that out of towners have fair warning.
Name your roads and schools and parks after MLK or BHO.
Very helpful.
THANK YOU.
I’ve been out of LA for a while now, but if I remember correctly, USC is not in a good/safe neighborhood and 0bama blvd is near USC.
It’s a good place for it. Ghetto.
Yeah, you’re right. I went to the map again and saw Crenshaw was close. LOL. They don’t like him as much as 0bama thinks they do.
I’ve never seen a street that’s nothing but manholes before.
There have been Barry commemoration signs on the freeway for years. The sign says: EXIT, do not enter!
Yeah, but they are all far left lanes.
Maybe it can live up to the reputation of all of the MLK roads in America. I’ve been on many of them in many different towns, and they are all the main street of the ghetto in whatever town they happen to pop up in.
Hey, maybe they could get that rodeo clown that was fired for wearing an Obama mask to cut the ribbon! No, wait Obama can do it as he is a clown and does not need to wear an Obama mask!
It’s like Richmond VA. They want to tear down confederate statues, and they will. Right now they just vandalize them nearly every weekend.
And they just renamed an elementary school from J.E.B Stuart (confederate general) to Barack Obama.
This travel advisory brought to you by the failing city of Richmond, where crime is on the increase and law enforcement are in retreat.
Nothing says, “crime ridden, poverty laden and leftist driven neighbohood” like having a Barack Hussein Obama Boulevard nearby.
It might be an appropriate fitting name – only if the road is; crooked, covered with potholes, what isn’t a pothole is broken pavement, no dividing lines or fog lines, and all the traffic direction signs are wrong.
One way street; downhill.
They’re going to have to blacktop it first.
Pretty sure this will be the kiss of death for the area. Much like MLK Blvd almost anywhere is known for crime and blight, I’m sure that Barry’s name attached to a street, school or park will do the same.
Is this one of the streets they painted white to stop “climate change”? Or did they only paint half of it?
That’ would be Taupetop Mr Toof!
Curb your dog….
It will soon be a ghetto with lots of drive by shooting committed by thugs that Obammy will call his sons.
O shit he died also? Hope they don’t put him on a postage stamp.
Obama on a stamp? It’d better be self adhesive. I ain’t licking that.
What’s the name of the street?
‘Indonesia road’? ‘Deconstruction of the Constitution lane’?
‘Obama wuz here drive’?
Seriously though, please tell me that it isn’t called ‘obama street’.
That sounds like a dark sesame street parody.
edit: Oh ho, ‘Obama Boulevard’? Like THAT doesn’t sound gay at ALL… Okay. Sure.
CC: If you run over a dog on Obama Boulevard, you’re legally required to eat it.
