the Kenyan shares my birthday, but I had it first.
What are the odds?

So let me get this straight. August 4, is now Barack Hussein Obama Day in the state if Illinois.

So they this state has a holiday for a NON-AMERICAN MUSLIM POS that became President illegally and was praised by the DNC and the loony lousy leftist liberal socialist snowflake losers as their Messiah.

How stupid can these @$$holes be!!!!!

I guess everyone should go out and do what they can to divide the races and destroy our Republic. Oh wait. The Democrats already do that every day.

"Barack Obama Day"

A pigressive euphemism for "Turn Your Community into a Cesspool Day?"
