Illinois State Rep. Introducing Bill to Rename Stevenson - Barack Obama Expressway

[Outlaw]

If anything, change the section of 290 everyone keeps getting shot on to the Obama Expressway... At least that's a bit more aligned with his legacy!

 

[Flyn]

This isn't renaming the Stevenson. It's naming the rest of the highway that isn't the Stevenson to Obama.

Who do current Illinois politicians revere more? Former, recent President Obama or a governor from a long time ago? The article says Cook County to St. Louis.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Renaming a shitty highway after a shitty president sounds about right for IL.

 

[SirMarco]

They will make it a toll road to cover the cost of all the sings. It's also a way for Obama and the state to keep on fucking us.

 

[ChrisRac]

At least its only a highway and they're not proposing to rename O'Hare. Yet.

Who uses the names anyways? I forget all the time which one is which. Give me a fucking number

I hate that shit. What highway should I take? Oh take the Juleas Caesar Turnpike to the George Washington Carver Thruway and then head east on the Dan Jacobson.... Numbers, motherfucker...

When I used to listen to the radio for highway commute times and they were saying half the names I was like "well I'll just go fuck myself then"

 

[MuffHugger]

Is this real life?

 

[saliv8]

Not surprised for this shithole.

They should rename all the sewage treatment plants after Obama. That would be terrific.

 

[10thSVT_03]

Fuck this asshole. Put his name on a trash can.

 

[Tight Lines]

This state is a beaut...... Unbelievable. Are they still planning on building that 100 million dollar presidential library for him on the southside too?

It is? No tolls though!

As someone just said, this name change would probably give them a reason to make tolls on the road. I bet that's why they are talking about doing it.

I was referring to the condition of the road.

I hate the highway names too. Thank god for Waze. I turn it on every morning so I don't have to listen to crap AM radio.

What an outstanding tribute to a great man.

What an outstanding tribute to a great man.

What are your thoughts on Obama deporting more illegals out of the USA than any other president in the history of the US?

 

[zenriddles]

Interstate 57 was renamed the Tuskegee Airman highway a few years back in case no one has ever heard. Never caught on.

Those brave and useful souls are ten thousand times more deserving than that steaming piece of shit Obama to have a memorial highway named after them.

Hope the 55 name change is ignored.

[guspech750]

Well I suppose then I 55 would always remain a "freeway" hehehehehe

 

[Frostopsy]

I wonder if the Obama family was considered part of the "outmigration" in Illinois. There seriously isn't anything of pressing concern for these fuckwads? Keep voting fucking democrat.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Not mad at all, just noticed your comment about him and wondered what you thought.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

It is one of the shittest expressways we have......

id drive on the stevenson before any other highway in the chicago area

 

[Gone_2022]

I80 is better, 355 is better, 88 is better, both traffic wise, width and overall road conditions.

Yes I realize 2 of those are toll roads.

 

[Yaj Yak]

they can all suck & they can all haul ass, just depends on absolutely everything

 

[Gone_2022]

Yep.... is it raining? 2 hour drive home, misting? 2 hour drive home, snow? Forget it sleep at work. Is the sun in your eyes? 2 hour drive home

Ps I hate everyone lol

 

[Yaj Yak]

or it can randomly be like, hey you're leaving mccormick place, and it's pouring rain?

COOL YOU'RE HOME IN 52 MINUTES TO MCHENRY SOME FUCKING WAY

 

[Blood on Blood]

Wouldn't be surprised if they rename 1-88 to Madigan tollway and install a $1 toll area every mile.
