Planning under way for Obama holiday
The Topeka Capital-Journal ^ | November 09, 2008

Posted on 11/09/2008 1:52:59 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald's, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.

For more information, contact Sonny Scroggins, (785) 232-3761, 845-6148 or at biasbustersofkansas@yahoo.com; Lamont Lassiter, McDonald's general manager, 608-2739; Ava Chander-Beard, (785) 234-9138, ava.beard@sbcglobal.net; or Rhoda Carr, (785) 220-5883.

First sign of dissent in their ranks about Obama I will unload on them. And I can't even enjoy the “ I told you so’s” because what's coming is too frightening. Oh, I am right there with you. The first time one of my moonbat in-laws bitches about something the O has done that has screwed them, I am going to give them both barrels.

After I stop laughing hysterically and screaming, "But you VOTED for him!"

You’ve got to be kidding. He hasn’t DONE anything yet.

Is the Mt. Rushmore sculpture scheduled for next week?

Obama holiday, 2ndDivisionVet wrote: I don't think they're kidding: I'm 48 and I don't remember anything like this after any other election, do you?

Incredible. This is very nearly almost idol worship.

Well, can we at least swap a holiday from Commie MLK to Honest Abe? At least then it would be on my birthday! :)

I imagine instead of an 18” clock around his neck, it’ll be a big Obama symbol.

Wait until next year when Kwanzaa rather than Christmas will be celebrated in the White House.

So, will Michelle light the Kwanzaa tree?

They voted for Demagoguery, government dictation. Who knows if these fools will even get their fill. I see Obamatons rationalize all of his constitutionally unsound policies, they use Emotion to argue these policies, it doesn't matter if they are economically nonviable or blatantly unconstitutional.

When I was a child, I thought the same question as you have, How on earth? I heard many accounts firsthand of Hitler's natural affinity for scorching, grandiose, speeches and geometrically ostentatious march rallies, still, I wondered why people would accept such a Psychopath as a leader of government. Just as you have stated, now I know.

I'll take the words of a man who lived through such barbaric Communist government, and who helped propagate it worldwide. His supporters will not wake up until it is too late...

"A person who is demoralized (by Marxist/Leninist indoctrination) is unable to assess true information, the facts mean nothing to him. Even if I shower him with authentic information, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes, THEN he will understand, but not before that. That is the tragedy of demoralization of a nation."

Yuri Bezmenov, KGB Defector, former agent in the propaganda wing of the KGB.

Truly, this is so similar to affirmative action: first, hire the candidate that has done nothing to deserve the job, and then commemorate the candidate elect who has done nothing to deserve commemoration of that yet undone job.

Obviously then it must be time to break out some Obama Cake (I wonder what happened to the pie he was promising here on YouTube?) and celebrate affirmative action in action!

Topeka isn’t all that insane. I would expect this kind of behavior out of Lawrence (East Berkeley)

At least with Kennedy they waited until he was dead!!!!, before they started seeking public memorials to him and his presidency!!!

Don’t get me wrong, that is not a fate I seek for Obama.

Just noticing the level of idol worship is so severe and so foolish.
