Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation's 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.

"Yes We Can" planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald's restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama's honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.

At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald's, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.

I don't think they're kidding: I'm 48 and I don't remember anything like this after any other election, do you?

At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served

and some Obama kool-aid to help wash it down.

You’ll get used to it. A Dear Leader needs his adulation, ya know!

“At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald's,”

Jesse Jackson's gonna make a guest appearance and spit on it.

Yeh you did get teleported, and there's no sign of intelligent life. LOL.

I thought we were getting pie, not cake.

I can bake my own damn cake, but I can't do pie without Obama the Great.

This is creepy. It’s like that “Office of the President Elect” sign at his press conference. Tacky, and creepy.

April 1st is the holiday for all the fools that voted for him.

[Izzy Dunne]

I don't remember anything like this after any other election, do you?

Yeah, I missed the Jimmy Carter Holiday Planning committee meetings at Waffle House.

And the Billy Jeff Clinton Worship Services at iHop.

PREDICTION:

Before Jan. 2011, these same clowns will be calling for O'bama's head on a pike.

[counterpunch]

We can celebrate him twice then.
Once for for being a fool, and then again for being a Communist.

CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY .... WTF is going on here?? He was elected President, not Emperor.

[papasmurf]

Nah, that’d be April 15th, wouldn’t it? LOL
