Would You Rather Fly Out Of O'Hare or O'Bama?

There is a rumor that Chicago's Midway Airport is going to be renamed Obama International.

The Daily Southtown reported Monday that the bloggers seem to have the inside track on the deal.

The paper says that when you type www.barackobamaairport.com into your Web browser, you'll see that the address has already been claimed, which is "the equivalent of a colonial flag thrust into the virgin soil of some new land."

Hilbuzz, a political blog that appears to have some sort of fascination with Hilary Clinton, seems to have got things rolling Dec. 30.

"Behind the scenes work is already under way to rename Chicago's Midway Airport after Obama -- becoming Barack H. Obama International Airport," the post states.

And that's not the only source reporting the name change.  According to the Southtown, several blogs are saying that the plan is already in the works and that it's just a matter of time.
