Manager: NYC 'Obama' chicken joint is keeping name
NEW YORK – The manager of Obama Fried Chicken says the New York City restaurant now plans to keep its name despite protests.
Mohammad Jabbar said Tuesday the owner has changed his mind about replacing the sign on the front of the Brooklyn business. He says the name was chosen as a tribute to the president and four out of five customers support it.
The restaurant is in Brownsville, a predominantly black neighborhood.
Activist Kevin McCall says the name is "very offensive to African Americans." Another protest is planned for Saturday.
The White House says the administration disapproves of using the president's name and likeness for commercial purposes. It has not commented directly on the issue of racial overtones in the restaurant's name.

Good God, LMAO.
Yeah, heard about that.
"the you mean by Obama's Fried Chicken?!"
no, it's a tribute. everyone here loves Obama.
"oh...that case, i'll take a 3pc, red beans and rice and an extra biscuit."
I wonder if they serve Bush's baked beans
Are the folks who are protesting implying that people who are half white like to eat fried chicken? That's a little short sighted, IMHO.
Dont people have any better things to do?
That's awesome. Mother er, I want more iced tea with my biscuits!
