Isn't it way too early?
Granted, he is the first African-American president-elect in our history! That's pretty neat. Yes, he has a good story. But, he hasn't done anything as President yet!!!!!
A Long Island Elementary School is now known as Barack Obama Elementary School. Couldn't they wait four years to make sure he actually turns out to be OK?
In a small town in Spain, the main avenue is being renamed Calle Barack Obama. Umm, why?
Babies are being named Barack Obama. Please don't do that yet!
I voted for him and hope, for the good of our country, that he does an amazing job. But what if he's terrible? Do you want to take the chance that you named your baby after a terrible President? I wonder how many little George W. Bushes are running around the country....
I'll say this, I like Obama's VP and cabinet picks so far. I can just see the day when we need to send someone to resolve some issue with some foreign wannabe. Who do we send?
How about, National Security Advisor Jim Jones? Badass!
Not a cabinet pick, but definitely on the Obama team, Senate Foreign Relations Chair John Kerry? He just might tase you bro!
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? She won't take no one's crap!
And wait, if we really, really have to - if you step up to the US we might just have to unleash Vice President Joe Biden. We might as well give you a head start running. You done gonna get schooled Biden-style!
So, he has done that well. He picks a good team.
I have nothing but high hopes for our President-elect and I try to pray for him and his family every day. But, really, he hasn't done anything yet. Stop naming stuff after him please. Especially the babies. It's way too early.
One conservative blogger put it this way:
Imagine a child getting a trophy for just showing up for a little league baseball game.Amen to that. I remember having to play a whole season before getting my plastic trophy. Sure, I sucked, but I played. He hasn't even started playing yet!
And, so, as I often like to do, I ask that you pray. Pray for our President-elect, our Vice President-elect, and their team. Expectations are high. I pray they're able to meet them.

I get what you're saying. But the point is, even if he's as bad a president as GWB, nothing can take away from his HUGE place is history as the first black president of the United States. The trophy metaphor is completely off base, he's already done something great. The real baseball metaphor here would be Jackie Robinson. Even if he was a horrible player he'd still be the first black player in MLB and that's a big deal. Worthy of retiring his jersey number and worthy of naming high schools over.
