Is it too early to rename OHare airport

[Dream Girl]

O’bama? What needs to happen to make it so?

[shenmue]

1. Hmm, good idea

[nycbos]

2. My guess they would do Midway.

Call it Obama/Midway

3. Yes, it is much too early.

Presidents are usually dead when they get things named after them.

14. Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport, Little Rock Arkansas

George Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston

Jimmy Carter Regional Airport Sumter

Times have changed

4. Yes and never.

I lived in Washington DC when the renamed National airport Raygun Washington National Airport or some shit like that. I live in Chicago now, leave the fucking names alone.

5. Oooooh scared of you!

9. Because it's a stupid Idea no matter who the politician is

These little name changes cost millions to do. Now if those sign changes on highways, trains, busses, and all the schedules are paid by you then change away. Chicago could spend that money on something worthwhile like the people living in poverty. Name changes are just political statements that cost money to real people. Build a new school and name that after Obama.

7. They should never rename that airport

Edward Henry O'Hare, who the airport is named after, is a genuine bad-ass.

8. As popular an idea as that might be,

and with all due respect, the man whose name that airport bears earned the right to keep it there. Very few Presidents rise to his level. Renaming another airport would be more appropriate.

10. Count Me In Your Group

And even if they did Midway, it would only be revenge against DuPage for naming part of the EW tollway after Reagan
Just petty politics and unlike a war hero earning the honor.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. Meh.

[treestar]

12. They named the Wilmington Train Station after Biden recently

Especially since he used the train a lot. He and Obama stopped there on their way to the inauguration.

13. Why O'Hare of all things?

[hack89]

15. No. Butch O'Hare was a real hero. nt
