Sad news: Barack H. Obama Elementary School to close its doors

Would you want your kids to attend a school named after Barack Hussein Obama? Nah, we didn’t think so.

Apparently, Asbury Park, New Jersey parents didn’t, either. The school is closing its doors forever due to lack of students.

The Barack H. Obama Elementary School, proof that factories aren't the only thing this President can close
The Asbury Park Press presents the particulars:

The century-old Bangs Avenue School … renamed for President Barack Obama just a year ago … will be closed as a neighborhood school this summer, largely because of a steep slide in the district’s total enrollment the past decade.

Bruce N. Rodman, the state-appointed monitor who oversees the district’s finances, Thursday ordered that elementary students be reassigned to the city’s two other elementary schools as of July 1.

According to a plan presented at a community meeting Monday night, all kindergarten-through-fourth-grade students living west of Comstock Street would go to Bradley Elementary School at 1100 Third Ave., and those east of Comstock would attend Thurgood Marshall Elementary at 600 Monroe Ave.

Fifth-graders would be moved to the middle school.

The Obama school closing is expected to result in 470 students enrolled at Bradley and 540 at Thurgood Marshall.

Luckily, the Barack Obama Male Leadershp Academy is still open in Dallas.

This year, anyway.

    Here are the lyrics:

    Song 1:
    Mm, mmm, mm!
    Barack Hussein Obama

    He said that all must lend a hand
    To make this country strong again
    Mmm, mmm, mm!
    Barack Hussein Obama

    He said we must be fair today
    Equal work means equal pay
    Mmm, mmm, mm!
    Barack Hussein Obama

    He said that we must take a stand
    To make sure everyone gets a chance
    Mmm, mmm, mm!
    Barack Hussein Obama

    He said red, yellow, black or white
    All are equal in his sight
    Mmm, mmm, mm!
    Barack Hussein Obama

    Yes!
    Mmm, mmm, mm
    Barack Hussein Obama

    Song 2:
    Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
    For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!”

    Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one!
    The first black American to lead this great nation!

    Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
    To make this country’s economy number one again!

    Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
    And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

    So continue —- Mr. President we know you’ll do the trick
    So here’s a hearty hip-hooray —-

    Hip, hip hooray!
    Hip, hip hooray!
    Hip, hip hooray!

    • "Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!"

      More like number two, if you get my meaning.

  • The closing of Barack Obama Elementary School is a meaningless piece of news; what we really need is the shut down of the Barack Obama Presidency in November of 2012.

    Yeah, that's the ticket! I look forward to his swearing out ceremony the following January.

    • No I'm looking forward to all the swearing that will be heard coming from the private quarters in the White House on the Tuesday in November 2012.

  • Maybe they could close more schools by spreading the curse and moving the name BHO Elementary to a different location. Who needs Thurgood Marshall anymore?

  • Government Math is not taught in skools - so, who wants to guess how many "jobs" closing this school will create?

  • why those people are raaaaaacisis!!!!!!

    How dare they!

    Quick, Obummer needs a fatwa!

    NJ just went on Obambam's naughty list!
