I like that! A “reverse” federal holiday...or two or three. All federal “workers” must “work” while all of us who pay for them get the day off. It would be their way to honor us. Let’s call it “Boss’ Day.”

Comments:

1) How surprising that a democrat would sponsor legislation that would give government workers yet another day off with pay.

2) This will continue for quite some time. Not since Kennedy has there been such a mad rush to name all manner of crap after an ex-president.

As EPIC a FAILURE as Obunga was they should be proposing "Barack Obunga Week"...

that's right an entire week off, WITH PAY, to celebrate exactly what Obunga represented.. "Something for Nothing."

It has begun: the deification of obama. The history books will turn him into the great savior. People will turn him into an idol, a saint, a great god, much as they did with Kennedy after he was killed.

There is no end to collective insanity in this country.

Honoring Barack Obama’s birthday is like honoring the birth of the Edsel.

I doubt they’d close the schools - they’d all remain open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and daycare.

You would need to find the parents first and ask them. That’s if you knew who his parents were.

Hint: Not Stanley Ann or the native from Kenya, both RIP.
