Alderman wants Delmar named "Barack Obama Boulevard"

KSDK -- A St. Louis alderman wants a stretch of Delmar Boulevard named for President-elect Barack Obama.

Alderman Kacie Starr Triplett of the city's 6th Ward plans to introduce legislation Friday that would honorarily designate Delmar Boulevard as "Barack Obama Boulevard." The stretch to be renamed runs from Tucker Boulevard to the city's western edge.

She says the street still would be known as Delmar, but six
signs would be posted to honor the president-elect for his
accomplishments and message of hope and unity.

A streets committee must approve the name
change before aldermen can vote on it, and it would need yes votes from 15 out of 28 to pass.

Triplett called the naming an "excellent opportunity to acknowledge one of our nation's truly transformational leaders." She added, "His words united people of every race, religion and background. It is my hope that this symbolic act in St. Louis will be an important step toward fostering that same unity and partnership in our great city."

Triplett said four other city aldermen have signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation.

Just thought I'd share this story with you. Reports show St. Louis as recently being named the 4th most dangerous city in the US. It's only number 4. You know, they have nothing better to do but sit around and think about renaming streets. It seems that most ppl are not very happy with this idea. Me included.

This is the kind of stupidity we don't need. The negro hasen't done shit yet.
And probably won't. Other then drag us into deeper dispare and more War.
Let St. Louis burn. One of the most crime riddin cities in America. High negro population.
