Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) introduced a resolution today to rename Girard Park in Columbia Heights “Barack Hussein Obama Park.” The recent renovated park, located at 14th Street and Girard, features a basketball court and play equipment. “The park is a jewel,” Graham said. “I think the overwhelming point of view that has been expressed is that park should be renamed in honor of our president.”… But in recognizing Columbia Heights’s diversity, Graham stressed that Obama’s middle name also would be included in the park’s name. (During the campaign, Obama shied away from highlighting his middle name, but he used it when he was sworn in).
