At least three New York City fast food restaurants have adopted President Barak Obama’s name to sell chicken nuggets and wings. While it isn't illegal, it has some local politicians fuming mad.
Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) has given Obama Fried Chicken (pictured), located in Brownsville, Brooklyn until Monday to change its awning and name or there will be hell to pay.
The councilman plans to organize a protest on Monday outside the store if the name isn't changed.
A similar chicken stop in Harlem has changed its named to Obama Fried Chicken & Pizza and one in Crown Heights is now called Obama Flavor Caribbean Soul Food.
“Our president is a great person,” said Mohammad Jabbar, manager of the Brownsville chicken joint. “So many people encouraged us to use this name.”
What is Councilman Barron planning to do about the Obama Chicken Fingers and Obama ice cream?
