Is Rahm Emanuel really this stupid?

"We have to, in some way, whether it’s President Obama or in the other case, Dr. Brazier, acknowledge people who have done significant things. We have an airport, two of them, named after, you know, Midway Airport, O’Hare Airport,” Emanuel said. “These are people who have been transformative in the city of Chicago. But we have airports named after battleships.”

WTF, did Chicago elect Dan Quayle? Ok, I don't expect that everybody would know the origin of the airport names, but please don't make shit up for a sound bite. At least the article went on to explain the origin of the names.

Obama International Airport...

I'd rather have Capone Airport than Obama Airport if we need to look for famous Chicagoans.

I would rather they name something after Aaron Montgomery Ward, or Marshall Field.

This is crazy talk. O`Hare is named after a fighter pilot, what airport is named after a battleship? Obama airport??? Maybe in crazy town. I`m going to give a few rounds here from a beltfed to Emmanual the dumbass.

This will happen only when hell freezes over.

I think he tinks its named after the aircraft carrier "midway" but its named after the battle of midway I believe

eta: In July 1949 the airport was renamed after the Battle of Midway.[9] That year Midway saw 3.2 million passengers; passengers peaked at 10 million in 1959.[11] The diagram on the January 1951 C&GS approach chart shows four parallel pairs of runways, all 4240 ft or less except for 5730-ft runway 13R and 5230-ft runway 4R. Airport diagram for 1959

Rahm acts more and more like his hero every day, doesn't he? "Facts" that aren't, character assassination; the truth is that this little guy is where Obama learned a lot of his tactics.

As it turns out Emmanuel has decided not name an airport after Obama, and yes Midway airport was named after the battle.
