The Obama Club to Open in Shanghai

Yes, there is a club opening soon in Shanghai called The Obama. This is not a joke. There is hope the Obama can revive a struggling local nightlife. And they have a very specific reason behind the name:

"We had thought of all kinds of names but then, by coincidence the radio was on and we heard some news about Obama. So we thought this name was quite good. We just felt it was easy to say and was controversial enough," Dragon Chiang, vice chairman of Shanghai Yahe Investment and Management Co. Ltd, one of the owners, told Reuters.
