Att säga att George Bush är populär i San Francisco skulle vara en av de största lögnerna i USA:s historia. En grupp aktivister försökte döpa om ett reningsverk i staden till George Bush Sewage Treatment Plant, men misslyckades mest för att det skulle kosta rätt mycket. Nu har en annan grupp aktivister som är bra på att klättra upp i gatstolpar utan att poilsen ser dom och som kallar sig Concerned Republicans Assaulting Posterity (C.R.A.P.) bytt namn på hela den långa Bush-gatan i San Francisco, som f.ö. inte har något med den kriminelle presidenten att göra, till Obama Street.

Scott Beale skriver på LaughingSquid om en grupp aktivister bytte namn på Bush Street till Obama Street: How Bush Street Was Changed To Obama Street In San Francisco

“We can support Obama for a day.” C.R.A.P. organizer Thurston Griswald III, speaking from an undisclosed bunker in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District, said the signs were created by hand using recycled clay, exotic oils from the Far East, paper mache and ABC gum for stickiness. No animals were harmed while making and posting the street signs, Griswald II maintains, and boasted that more than a quarter of C.R.A.P. members were former Bush Administration officials.

“These guys just want to put the past behind them, plus they need jobs — who’s going to hire a 55-year-old man who’s done nothing but make warning stickers placed on bombs and land mines for the last eight years? — so we felt we had to do something to show the new President how much we support him,” Griswald III said.

“It was either change the street signs or get T-shirts made. Obviously, we made the right decision.”

Change we can believe in.
