The Pub leader is dead wrong ... Bureaucrats everywhere would love to have another paid day off to celebrate the paragon of civil service.

They can just deem Obambi to be the savior, and celebrate him instead of Jesus on Dec. 25.

As consolation they could dedicate the next Gay Pride parade in Obama’s honor.

The stupid bastard doesn’t know his birthday unless he can get some “judge” to unseal his records long enough for him to check.

Kenya certainly has a spare holiday that they can have coincide with Barack 0bama Day here.

Don’t worry. The fools will build another idol to this fraud somewhere in the world.

We have seven of the Obama memorial trash receptacles out behind our garage. My home has two of the Obama memorial porcelain human waste receptacles too.
I always try to show the guy the respect he deserves.

That’s one. There was also the sand idol.
Just give Hawaii time. And Kenya. And Illinois.

But Muslims are instructed to NOT celebrate birthdays. To them it’s idol worship. I recall that Obama does not celebrate birthdays.
