Hawaii officials drop plan to name park for Obama
Posted: Oct 07, 2014
 
HONOLULU (AP) - Two Honolulu city councilmen have dropped plans to rename a popular beach for President Barack Obama.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports Councilman Stanley Chang and Council Chairman Ernie Martin decided to withdraw the proposal after hearing from the public.

The councilmen last week introduced a resolution to change the name of Sandy Beach Park to President Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park.

The beach is a popular for bodysurfing on Oahu's east side. It was a favorite for the president as he grew up. He bodysurfed there while on vacation during his 2008 campaign.

Martin says in a statement that he heard historic and cultural sensitivity concerns from the community about the name change.

He says there may be other public facilities more appropriate to honor the president.

From the AP: The beach is a popular [sic] for bodysurfing on Oahu’s east side. It was a favorite for the president as he grew up. He bodysurfed there while on vacation during his 2008 campaign.

Martin says in a statement that he heard historic and cultural sensitivity concerns from the community about the name change.

He says there may be other public facilities more appropriate to honor the president.

“It’s not that the president isn’t worthy of some degree of recognition, but perhaps we should look at other areas besides Sandy Beach,” Honolulu Council Chairman Ernie Martin, who proposed the change, told KHON-TV. This isn’t the first time the president was turned down for an honorary naming. Last month, the City of Chicago dropped plans to name a high school after President Obama. Comedian Jimmy Fallon gave a comedic reason for the decision:
