A bill introduced in the Illinois House would make Aug. 4, President Barack Obama’s birthday, a state holiday.
State Rep. André Thapedi, D-Chicago, and three other Chicago-area Democratic lawmakers are sponsoring House Bill 4654, which was filed on Feb. 2. The legislation would make Obama’s birthday a legal holiday, meaning state offices and schools would be closed.
From the bill:
“The fourth day of August of each year shall be a legal holiday to be known as Barack Obama’s Birthday to be observed as a day on which to hold appropriate exercises in commemoration of our illustrious President. When August fourth shall fall on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be held and considered the holiday.â€
If passed by lawmakers and signed by the governor, Obama’s Aug. 4 birthday would become the 14th official state holiday. The legislation also would establish a commemorative holiday known as mayor’s day, in honor of late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and Richard J. Daley. That holiday would be observed by Chicago Public Schools on March 4, though schools in that district would stay open.
Obama, who has his own problems with a divided Congress, will be in Springfield next week to address the General Assembly where he is expected to speak about bipartisanship. Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders remain deadlocked over a budget. Illinois is now eight months into the current fiscal year without one.
:-)
my kid told me that the dopers use 420 as doper day, based on Obama’s antics in highschool or something. So, I guess 4/20 would be a good day, just call it Doper/Obama day.
HRC was born on Oct, 26 or 27, not Oct 31. Oct 31 is MY birthday, that is the only reason I bothered to look it up.
Kenyan calendar.
“our illustrious President.”
I almost puked.
Now the few still working can get the day off with the millions already unemployed.
Free abortions to honor the dark prince.
Now the Chicago youth can honor him by shooting off their illegal guns.
Why not declare every day a holiday and call it the obama depression.
After he leaves office they will have to declare the whole country a “Barack Obama Super Fund Clean Up Site”.
A day that shall live in infamy.
What’s the punchline?
His Grandma said born in Kenya too.
*****************************************
Yep, I recall reading about how she, Stanley Ann and Barak Sr. were at the beach when Stanley began having labor pains. They went to the hospital and Barak Jr. was hatched.
Also saw the birth cert from the hospital in Kenya, but that was quickly sealed from public view and disappeared from the internet.
I really hope all of this is revealed in a year or two, instead of being hidden for 25 years.
Just wow! They could just name it Dependence Day. Funny.
Barry Soetoro Day will be celebrated with fasting all day and looting after sundown.
That’s the difference in Chicago. YOu get buildings and holidays named after you BEFORE you die.
To be celebrated in bath houses and adult bookstores throughout the State....
To think,ONE simple condom would have prevented that bastard from being born!
Is Ronald Reagan’s birthday a state holiday? Just curious.
One day is not enough! If kwanza is a week, shouldn’t a holiday commemorating this great leader be at least a month?
Insanity.
