We get it. You folks on the right hate Obama to the point that naming a highway after a U.S. president, which is not uncommon, is offensive to you.
I'm sure your buns didn't get wound up in a tizzy when they named President George Bush Turnpike in Dallas or the
Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway in Cincinnati, the Gerald Ford Freeway (I-196) in West Michigan.
It's going to make some heads explode, but I predict in the next few years we will see some public schools, government office buildings, community centers, parks, squares, and streets named after Obama. Yes, there will be a portrait of him in the White House ... and possibly one in the Capitol as well. Presidents - good, bad, or in the middle - get a lot of honors. Especially those who who served two terms. As the very first African-American president he will get a lot of things named after him.

Bush is from TX. Reagan and Ford are both from the Midwest. Chicago, let alone Hawaii, is nowhere near FL.
I used to live in Palm Beach county. Where this road is located, isn't exactly a place that most would want to go to, despite it's location. Almost seems to be appropriate to name it after Obama. A perfect metaphor for that he has accomplished while President.
Isn't Dixie Highway the same as US 1 in much of Palm Beach and Broward Counties? Isn't it a major north-south route stretching from Maine to Key West, FL? In my hometown of Hollywood, FL US 1 split into two roads - Federal Hwy. and Dixie Hwy. just north of the town in Dania. Federal and Dixie, 5 blocks apart, defined the eastern and western boundaries of downtown Hollywood.

NO. It's a diagonal that connects MLK with Hwy 708.
lolz. I used to work in Riviera Beach and was on that road everyday. Very fitting, irony is big. lolz
Indeed it is.
One of the richest counties in the entire country, yet in the one place where it's downtrodden, they put The Barak Obama Highway (or whatever it's called) haha.
Rivera Beach Florida renames and replaces Old Dixie Highway with Barack Obama Highway.
It's the second street in the Palm County to be named after the 44th president.
I would bet there are many unexpected twists and turns, delays, detours, and that it is very slippery.
If there was a highway named after Obama in our state, I would choose another route.
