State monitor orders Asbury’s Barack Obama School closed
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.
If you read down further…
The need to reorganize stems from the low academic achievement and declining enrollment in the district’s schools, she said.
…

The projected savings, he said, was $375,000 the first year from staff reductions, then $759,000 by the second year when the city’s alternative school could be housed at Obama.
By the third year, the savings could be $975,000 when the administrative offices can be moved there and out of the former Asbury Park Press building downtown, where the district pays $15,000 a month to rent space.
So the school is in existence for 100 years – changes its name to Obama Elementary – and it then closes for low enrollment, low performance, and low finances. What a metaphor.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Haha......that's what his Presidency should read too! CLOSED! He's a joke! I can't wait to see who is elected next time. I mean I didn't think it could get any worse than Bush. But Obama proved he is. LOL.....I mean who's next..Sarah Palin? It's scary to think anyone could be worse than Obama. But hey I hear he's 1 for 1 on his NCAA basketball picks! GO obama!

Rather fitting that an underperforming school would be named after the underperforming control freak in chief.

summers73 !!! ... Your Post Is well Within The Mark !

LMFAO ... Indeed this matter does fit ever so neatly into the acutely pitiful HO equation ... Does It Not ?

The good folks in the States never realized what an utter "Nightmare" this blighter & crew would turn out to be once they slithered into the ole Yankee WH !!! What ?

Hopefully these great American Folks will not under any circumstances make the same unprecedented and dangerous mistake again !!!

Lets restore America to the formidable and proud position of #1 once again !

DRob4JC ... !!! On The Money !

Indeed ... The "Nightmare On Elm Street" status continues to be most applicable to "The Pitiful One" and his "Not Quite Ready For Prime Time"
crew of twits !!!

The Ole Yankee WH will never be the same again !
