Honolulu City Council is trying to decide whether or not to change the name of Aina Moana Beach Park to President Barack Obama Beach Park at Magic Island.

As you can imagine the bill has its supporters and those who oppose the idea of naming a city park after our current president. As of now the law requires parks to only be named after those who are no longer living. City Council is struggling with the decision of where to draw the line.

"I think everyone appreciates the important connection between our current president and our state," Councilman Apo told Travel Weekly. "But people have raised the point that someone like Senator [Daniel] Inouye has done a huge amount for our state over his extensive term in office, yet there's no exception for him. So where do you draw the line?"
