NEW YORK (AP) -- It was only a matter of time. A New York school has been renamed in honor of President-elect Barack Obama.

The former Ludlum Elementary School, in Long Island's Hempstead Union Free School District, was renamed at a school board meeting Thursday - effective immediately.

School officials say most of the 440 students there are black or Hispanic, and Obama's victory is a source of great pride.

1. Just Wait Another 8 & 1/2 Months

First we'll see a trickle, and then a river of little boys named Barack, I'm betting.

5. Buildings, streets, institutions, etc.

There will be many re-namings, but mostly after he leaves office.

6. It's actually an elementary school.

Saw it on the local news here in NYC. Nice looking school!

8. They are still muelling it over.......

They are conceding the name may not provide the elevation of respect that they'd like for the plant.

9. It got voted down in SF, if I remember correctly

I'm pretty sure the measure failed.
