What Sandy Beach locals really - think

Sandy Beach Park's nickname is "break-neck" beach because of its shore break patterns that produce trecherous riptides during high surf conditions. It has the highest number of injuries than any other beach in Hawaii and is already overcrowded. Locals were concerned over increased tourism the name change might bring, especially after the infusion of funds for cleanup and upgrades. It appears beachgoers there have their own way of honoring the president.

Citing ‘Historical Meaning,’ Fear of Additional Tourists, Hawaiians - Don’t Want Sandy Beach Renamed

That is about all of the article that came up. (You have to either sign in or subscribe--I'm not going to pay to read your post)

It is a historical naming and they fear more tourists....seemingly don't want to invoke the name of the historically and widely respected President Obama. They want to keep it to a manageable tourist level.

"Widely respected President Obama"? sm - oh boy

Why would they comment on a fear of - increased tourism

[ In Reply To ..]
as stated in the previous post? President Obama and the First Lady would be the last people who would want to intrude on historical or cultural meaning. After all, naming the beach after him was not his idea. Obviously the Tpubs are trying to make mountains out of molehills again and are searching far and wide for sujects that will keep national dialog off of their party's internal fractures, infighting, leadership crises and party platform that voters keep rejecting. Clueless as always, they act like they have nothing better to do than grouse and try to stir up trouble. What a shock.

The councilman was right. There are more appropriate places to honor the president's name and legacy, like the hospital where he was born, an airport, highways, schools, libraries and other customary choices. I'm sure they'll figure it out, all in good time.

Maybe this will tickle your fancy... - From Hawaii with some funnies, too!

Excerpt: "When the idea was announced last week, public reaction has been mixed. Martin said in a press release Tuesday that he heard historic and cultural sensitivity concerns from the community about the name change."

There is more to the article at the link. Following the article, there are a lot comments, some of which are pretty funny. I would love to put them here, but I don't know if it's allowed.

The peoples' comments are hysterical!!! - OMG...ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!

They have spoken loud and clear! I like the comment about California, but I really can't say which is my favorite. I love the one about the bomb shelter, too!

OMG. They are a riot!! He's a real popular guy isn't he - LOL

Evidently he is. O took 71.85% in 2008 and - 70.55% in 2012 in HI.

The GOP never has been very good at realizing their minority status. While showing up in droves on website comments sections to vent may appear to conflate their numbers, it's just an illusion that most definitely doesn't help them win elections.

That's what's so surprising here. - sm

Hawaii is overwhelmingly liberal and to have their people speak out like this says volumes. I've heard the Obamas are not too popular there anymore. I guess they overstayed their welcome, or Hawaii has caught on to the reality of the scam just like the rest of the intelligent people in the country.

What it says - is

Hawaiians have historical and cultural ties to Sandy Beach they want to remained undisturbed. Personally, I know I would throw FITS if someone came along and tried to rename even an inch of historical Texas places. What I hear in this post is a lot of projection and wishful thinking. Rather than inventing a whole bunch of hooey and trying to make it fit a preconceived partisan narrative, why not simply accept facts on face value and move on?

That is not the desperate Republican way - much ado about nothing

anything substantive they struggle to make a point.

They troll for this garbage, throw in a few demeaning nicknames, hurl basic disrespect and stick out their tongues and wait for response.
