YES:Chicago is not playing around. They are moving to rename the street in front of Trump Tower "Barack Hussein Obama Way."

A Chicago alderman introduced the ordinance this wk to give Wabash Ave,the street that runs directly through Trump Tower, an honorary designation for Obama

Sooooo, I'm guessing Chicago chump Tower will be re-ordering their letterhead using a Post Office box number?
Hope the change costs them a bundle.

Of course there would be a financial cost to actually rename it.
