ROTFL. Instead of having barbeques, they can discourage all driveby shootings on that day.

“That’s a great idea. They should call it “Pretentious Dumbass Day”.”

How about “Worthless Half-Breed Day?” And just think, maybe they will rename all the Martin Luther King Boulevards in the country after Obola. It would be fitting since all the MLK Blvds. are in the absolutely worst place in any city, MLK deserves streets named after him in nicer areas, because he was a true hero.

Combine Obama Day with National Watermelon Day which is August 3.

Both House bills would make Aug. 4 a "legal holiday," in which state government offices shut down, and schools and businesses have the option of closing. The Senate bill's "Barack Obama Day" would be commemorative only.

If the actual working, net taxpaying citizens of Illinois have no problem with the huge waste of money, with no Federal help, they are getting the government they deserve.

And it will NEVER spread to other states.

By the way, has there ever been a permanent holiday declared in any state in the history of the United States for a living "elected" criminal?

Even as a nothing, Brack Hussein, the Magic Muslim, is determined to make a piece of America an African backwater, a few rungs below a Banana Republic.

Obama had nothing to do with it’s coming to life.

Not even with its "coming to life."

Schools won’t normally be in session on Aug. 4. People in IL will flock to this holiday, but the HI people may get jealous and get one of their own too. But what will the Kenyans do?

Because just what Illinois needs is another paid holiday for its employees.

Illinois has a holiday for Lincoln. Not born in Illinois.

Now they want a holiday for Obama Lama the Ding Dong. Also not born in Illinois.

Perhaps some fun loving Pubbie legislator in Illinois should instead suggest a holiday for the president who was actually BORN there. Ronald Reagan.

Fun ensues!!

My thoughts exactly. Not only born there, but graduated from Dixon High School and Eureka College in Illinois.

Maybe some summer schools and year round would be affected. The common core books will have to be changed to include the holiday. . and of course that would mean.a publisher’s money grab for the Illinois text book.. .. and we all know that besides the intrusive data mining in the schools. . . that’s what common core is all about $$$$. Also, can’t you just see the store-wide sales on August 4 in Illinois. Maybe good for the Illinois economy. It heeds help!
