Hey, remember when presidents had to actually lead and accomplish things before having a national holiday named after them? Well, now all you gotta do is be black and show up for the job.
Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation's 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20."Yes We Can" planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald's restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama's honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.
I'm sure it can be a paid day off from work where we take what we've earned and give it to a bum. Perhaps Oprah can give everyone new cars on the holiday! She will need to make sure they are hybrids though. Maybe people will tell stories of how he was born in a manger and stuff. Perhaps government can finally create a nativity scene the ACLU will not want to ban.

April 1st?
WEll let em plan..and on that so called holiday my red white and blue American flag will NOT fly. It has nothing to do with him being black. It has everything to do with who he is and what he stands for.
Think I’ll just skip this one! Blech!
Sorry, but I’ll be working so that I can be patriotic and pay more taxes to help spread the wealth around.
How about we see that birth certificate and we have a birthday party?
I’m looking forward to the first Monday in August becoming a national holiday in honor of the messiah!
Next- the addition his features on Mt Rushmore
I declare November 9th “Diana in Wisconsin” Day.
Just Freepmail me with your lavish gifts of chocolates, fine red wines and ceee-gars. :)
Hell, you’ll never be able to keep them, let alone afford them anyway in this ObamaNation; they’ll be confiscated and sent to Dear Leader!
May as well send them on to someone who has spent her life appreciating ‘the finer things.’ Beat the rush prior to January 20th! ;)
Vote for me! I’m as experienced as Obama! And as an added bonus, I was actually BORN here. :)
the chalice from the palace holds the brew that is true
Perhaps Oprah can give everyone new cars on the holiday!
The only cars Oprah gives away are cars provided to her show by auto companies. She soaks up the adulation of her fans, comes off as Ms. Super-Generous, and pays nothing for her trouble. Nice work if you can get it.
April 15th would seem appropriate.
Can’t we just commemorate Odinga-Hussein on May Day?
That Mt. Rushmore video is the funniest thing I’ve seen since the last JibJab!
I saw give a holiday to Regan and G.W. for keeping us safe and than Obama can get a holiday
Russia got rid of the Communist Holiday. Are we going to pick it up?

Sitting on Obama Claus’s lap won’t be an picnic.
