– The Hawaiian beach where a young Barack Obama bodysurfed is keeping its name after a plan to name it President Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park instead of Sandy Beach Park met with what officials say was a "mixed" reception from the public. "Most of the comments have raised the issue of historical and cultural sensitivity, and a number of alternatives have been suggested by the public," says Honolulu City Council Chair Ernest Martin, who introduced a resolution to rename the popular Oahu beach last week, reports Reuters. A survey by a Hawaiian TV station found more than 90% of commenters were against the proposal, for reasons including dissatisfaction with Obama's record as president and worries about tourists overcrowding the beach, reports the Wall Street Journal. Martin says the council is still looking for something to name after Obama. "Since he's taken office, President Obama has been a strong supporter of Honolulu's rail transit project," he said in a statement. "Naming one of the stations after him deserves serious consideration."
U.S. President Barack Obama departs the White House for Democratic Party fund raisers in New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut, October 7, 2014. 
  
 A Honolulu City Council proposal to name a popular Oahu beach after the first Hawaii-born U.S. president, Barack Obama, has been withdrawn after the plan met with little enthusiasm from the public, its sponsors said on Tuesday. 
  
 Council Chair Ernest Martin and co-sponsor Stanley Chang introduced a resolution last week to honor the commander-in-chief by renaming Sandy Beach Park as President Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park. 
  
 Located near Hanauma Bay on the east end of Oahu, the beach is known for a large shore break that makes it a favorite among body surfers, including, sponsors say, the president. 
  
 Obama is known to have body surfed at Sandy Beach while he was growing up, and has ridden the waves there while on vacation since being elected to the White House. 
  
 But according to a statement Martin issued on Tuesday, "public reaction to the proposal has been mixed." 
  
 "Most of the comments have raised the issue of historical and cultural sensitivity, and a number of alternatives have been suggested by the public," the statement said, adding that the two sponsors have agreed to remove the resolution from the council's agenda. 
  
 Reaction among beachgoers seemed sharply divided. 
  
 "Maybe he did grow up here, but as a local, I've been surfing here for 10 years easy, and I don't think it's fair," Kanaloa Kane, a resident of the nearby community of Waimanalo, told local TV station KHON2. 
  
 But another frequent Sandy Beach visitor, Beth Amann, was quoted as saying that naming the park for Obama would "keep things more picked up" and bring "better maintenance." 
  
 Martin suggested that given Obama's strong support of Honolulu's rail transit project, a better idea might be to name one of the stations after him. 
  
 "I'm confident that as this process moves along, the entire community will weigh in with other ideas for Honolulu to properly honor its hometown president," he wrote. 
  
 The City Council, whose jurisdiction covers the entire island of Oahu, has previously approved funding for a plaque to be placed at or near Sandy Beach commemorating Obama's fondness for bodysurfing there, said Mark Segami, a spokesman for Martin.

Skriv en artikel baserad på denna sammanfattning: – Hawaiis strand där en ung Barack Obama bodysurfade behåller sitt namn efter en plan att döpa den till president Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park istället för Sandy Beach Park mötte vad tjänstemän säger var en "blandad" mottagning från allmänheten. "De flesta kommentarerna har tagit upp frågan om historisk och kulturell känslighet, och ett antal alternativ har föreslagits av allmänheten", säger Honolulus kommunfullmäktigeordförande Ernest Martin, som lade fram en resolution om att döpa om den populära stranden Oahu förra veckan, rapporterar Reuters. En undersökning av en hawaiiansk TV-station som fann mer än 90% av kommentatorerna var emot förslaget, av skäl som bland annat missnöje med Obamas rekord som president och oro över att turister överbefolkade stranden, uppger Wall Street Journal. Martin säger att rådet fortfarande letar efter något att namnge efter Obama. "Sedan han tillträdde har president Obama varit en stark anhängare av Honolulus järnvägstransitprojekt", sade han i ett uttalande. "Naming en av stationerna efter honom förtjänar allvarligt övervägande."

USA:s president Barack Obama avgår Vita huset för Demokraternas Parti fonduppfödare i New York City och Greenwich, Connecticut, 7 oktober 2014. En Honolulu City Council förslag att namnge en populär Oahu stranden efter den första Hawaii-födda USA-presidenten, Barack Obama, har dragits tillbaka efter planen möttes med liten entusiasm från allmänheten, dess sponsorer sade på tisdag. Rådsordförande Ernest Martin och medsponsor Stanley Chang lade fram en resolution förra veckan för att hedra överbefälhavaren genom att döpa om Sandy Beach Park till president Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park. Beläget nära Hanauma Bay på östra änden av Oahu, är stranden känd för en stor strandbrytning som gör den till en favorit bland kroppssurfare, inklusive, sponsorer säger, presidenten. Obama är känd för att ha kropp surfad på Sandy Beach medan han växte upp, och har ridit vågorna där under semester sedan han valdes in i Vita huset. Men enligt ett uttalande Martin gjorde på tisdagen, "offentlig reaktion på förslaget har varit blandad." "De flesta av kommentarerna har tagit upp frågan om historisk och kulturell känslighet, och ett antal alternativ har föreslagits av allmänheten," sade uttalandet och tillade att de två sponsorerna har gått med på att ta bort resolutionen från rådets dagordning. Reaktionen bland strandbesökare verkade skarpt splittrad. "Kanske växte han upp här, men som lokalbo har jag surfat här i 10 år lätt, och jag tycker inte att det är rättvist," Kanaloa Kane, boende i det närliggande samhället Waimanalo, berättade för den lokala TV-stationen KHON2. Men en annan frekvent Sandy Beach-besökare, Beth Amann, citerades som säger att namngivandet av parken för Obama skulle "hålla saker mer plockade upp" och ge "bättre underhåll." Martin föreslog att med tanke på Obamas starka stöd för Honolulus järnvägstransitprojekt skulle en bättre idé vara att namnge en av stationerna efter honom. "Jag är säker på att när denna process går framåt, kommer hela samhället att väga in med andra idéer för Honolulu att korrekt hedra sin hemstad president", skrev han. Stadsfullmäktige, vars jurisdiktion omfattar hela ön Oahu, har tidigare godkänt finansiering för en plakett som ska placeras vid eller nära Sandy Beach och som hedrar Obamas förkärlek för kroppssurfing där, sade Mark Segami, en talesman för Martin.
