Are you ready for Barack Obama’s Birthday as a holiday on which government employees get a day off and schools are closed? Now that neither George Washington nor Abraham Lincoln’s birth is considered worthy of a national holiday, creating Barack Obama Day as a state holiday in Illinois would definitely make a statement. An insane statement, but when did that ever stop the Democrats?

LOLOLOLOL! What an underachiever. Go big or go home. WTH is she thinking? There's already streets and schools bearing his name so you might as well shoot for the stars and go for a Nat holiday to honor the first half-rican American (p)resident. Crank it up a notch dumbass.

illinois is going bankrupt and the LIB idiot legislator wants to give government “workers” yet another day off. Now, I will admit that government “workers” usually do nothing of value, wouldn’t it be better to RIF them? What fools. What a lunatic...typical.

Everything the commie RATS touch, turns to a disaster. The people had better take some ‘IQ pills’ and clean up their state government. DRAIN THE SWAMP.

Many people have already had many, many days off work, in honour of Obama. They hardly need another day at home to think about this con man.

All federal employees must work without a days pay to the taxpayers so we can take a good day off, in September..like a freedom day.

Now they just have to figure out the exact day in the third week of July Obama was actually born on. (I’m just going by what Obama said himself, in an unguarded moment.)

Well they need to bring it up again. It’s like last nights brussel sprouts. LOL! That way it could fail again.

No one knows where Obama was born or when his birthday is.

We still have never seen an original certificate of birth for Obama. What we have seen are poorly constructed digital frauds.

So how in old F__K could we have an Obama birfday holiday?

Whoa. This creates a big problem:

There aren’t enough clinics to support the rush of appointment requests for colonoscopies on such a day of recognition...

Dibs.

It'll be celebrated on the last day of Kwanzaa. You know, to honor Baracka Claus

This is sure to stop the hemorrhage of people from Chicago and Illinois. Who in their right mind would leave a state honoring such a great American?
