It was only then that I realized it’s:

Yeah same, I was like
THANKS OBAMA!
But, quickly realized Obama himself wasn't collecting all them signatures.
Would be a lot cooler if he did.

The sentence is ambiguous but I guess they did that on purpose for clicks.

If they do, can they also fully capitalize HUSSEIN in the name, as someone else seems to insist on doing all the time?

It'd be on a street sign so it'd all be in all caps

Ahhh yeah, I forgot some places (generally including Chicago, it would seem) do that.

There's many noteworthy Epsteins that have no criminal history

Yeah think of all the poor Adolfs unfairly caught in the crossfire of history.

LOL, I love this.
Also, I'd love to see Obama given a few more Nobel Peace Prizes...
In addition, I think other bodies should give Obama lots of honorary things - maybe a Grammy and an American Music Award for that time he busted into Amazing Grace.
Is it mostly symbolic? Sure. Maybe a bit petty? Yeah. But the right has purposefully done most of their things to annoy over half the country instead of doing anything to help most Americans. Giving Obama a few more awards and naming more stuff after him is relatively low cost and unlike Donvict, most people actually like Obama.

I know of a few Pakistani Kids who would beg to disagree, sorry I forgot they are dead.

I wish someone would take some thermite and blast his name right off the side of that building

I wish someone would take some thermite and blast Trump's head off his shoulders.
