Tim Howard may very well be the most popular man in America at this moment. So much so, an official White House petition was started Tuesday night to rename the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after Howard -- seriously.

Although the U.S. men’s national soccer team was defeated by Belgium 2- 1 in the knockout round Tuesday afternoon, goalie Tim Howard emerged a national icon for his amazing work between the posts.

Fans created a petition on the White House website asking that Reagan Airport be renamed after Howard.

“We politely request that we rename the airport to recognize his accomplishments, and meritorious service to the United States of America,” the petition states.

IF meritorious service was required how did Reagan make it?

1. Just return the name to its original name Washington National

The Reagan name change was pure bullshit pushed through by the neocons almost while he was still in office.

3. K&R

Totally agree. Lived in DC for 40 years and will never call it anything else. When ticket agents and others say Reagan, I politely say DCA or Washington National.

5. It will always be Washington National - I will never honor that S.O.B., ever. n/t

2. I can never bring myself to call it Reagan National.

Especially after he busted the air traffic controllers' strike.

I always call it Washington National.

I remember watching an interview with one of the Reaganite zealots pushing to rename the airport. One of the reasons he gave for naming it after his grand mufti was that the US capitol's airport should be named after a president.

When the interviewer said: "It already is. George Washington was our first president," the zealot just sat there with a deer-in-the-headlights look on his face.

4. I remember that, too!

They are such dumbasses
