I have checked the White House and Obama.org and I cannot find any records of what Obama did on June 19th while in office.

Get the records now before they get scrubbed.

Life at the White House does not mention any comments on June 19th.

[MinorityRepublican]

Honestly i didn’t know about the holiday until a couple years ago

[lurk]

Raise your hand if you knew about Juneteenth before this month. I’ll bet 10% of the country knows anything about it.

[BenLurkin]

It’s a phony issue. Like so many others.

[dblshot]

Well it’s not like Juneteenth was a big deal in Kenya, or Hawaii, or Indonesia.

[bwest]

That’s because 98% of the country had never even heard of Juneteenth until 2 weeks ago. Blacks included.

[Dacula]

I am not trying to get this thread pulled but I think that is worth the discussion considering the date today.

-—Life at the White House does not mention any comments on June 19th.——

no worries, it will be edited to add some fake comments in 3,2,1....

[workerbee]

Of course it’s phony. I guarantee you not 1 in 1000 people, of any color, had ever heard the term Juneteenth until a couple of weeks ago.

[4yearlurker]

I had to look it up. I never heard of this “Holiday” before.

[Dacula]

The best source I have found is on Wikipedia and we cannot use that on FR.

[kaehurowing]

He did a lot of Muslim holidays, usually referring as “we.”

Pretty much ignored Christmas and Easter.

Deleted God from the Thanksgiving proclamations—only president to do so.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Obama never once was a natural born citizen and eligible under the Constitution.

[CincyRichieRich]

It’s a phony issue. Like so many others.
...
It’s not an issue; just a historical fact. Some facts are just facts, and that’s ok; doesn’t have to be a racialized item to just acknowledge it. No guilt, no burden, just a date that something very good happened.

[kaehurowing]

It’s one of those Hallmark Holidays, like Administrative Professionals Day.

[Dacula]

President Reagan changed President’s Day to MLK Day while in office.

Did Clinton or Obama do anything?

[DoughtyOne]

We could hand every elected office in the nation over. We
could hand over every Corporate and private sector leadership
position. We could provide $3,000 a month free case to every
one of them and it would never be enough for the same folks
who are upset today.

I’m done with this racist bull stuff.
