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.

Bad Presidents’ Day.
Obama: "Hahahahahahahahaha...."
Question is, who’s gonna be our Yoda?
BTTT.
As he drank his Victory Gin staring at the chessboard, a tear streamed down his face and he realized that he loved Big Brother.
Obama’s other holy-day is April 15th.
I wonder how many schools, hospitals, and airports will be renamed for BHO before the clown even takes office...and long before we know what his TRUE legacy will be.
Obama cake?????
Also look for a pot load of money to go into new highways all across the US being called Barack Hussein Obama Blvd.
Please tell me this is a joke.
Never again will I question how the German people followed Hitler. The cult of personality is revived in a new century.
Now you know - wouldn’t have thought it possible but indeed it is.
Billy Jeff Clinton should have his services at McDonald’s. That’s where he was during his time in office.
And everyday will be October 31. Get out the tricks and tax the treats.
'and for the 3rd time in my life I'm proud of my country'... First lady-select.
A whole lotta lobster, caviar and bubbly will be room-serviced to her white house quarters....preparations for the reparations ya know...
Sorry to say it is not. I was thinking the same thing all the way through, but it ended with the usual Number to call etc.
Some others saw it too. This ONE is going to make the Clintons look classy if all this commercialization continues.
Why not April 20?
It was used to celebrate a national leader in Germany for several years, but hasn't been used since 1945.
It just seems right for The One.
