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.

I don't know how I missed it, but Kenya has already declared and celebrated one "Obama Day":

Obama's Kenyan relatives elated, holiday declared

By TOM MALITI – 4 days ago

KOGELO, Kenya (AP) — Barack Obama's Kenyan relatives and Africans across the continent sang, danced in the streets and wrapped themselves in U.S. flags Wednesday to cheer for America's first black president. Kenya will party for two days, after the president declared a national holiday. (Source: Obama's Kenyan relatives elated, holiday declared.)

As he drank his Victory Gin staring at the chessboard, a tear streamed down his face and he realized that he loved Big Brother.

I wonder how many schools, hospitals, and airports will be renamed for BHO before the clown even takes office...and long before we know what his TRUE legacy will be.

Just got back from the gun show. Surprisingly busy for a Sunday when the Bills game was on. Ammo sales were very very brisk. People were skipping the small stuff and buying by the case.

Also look for a pot load of money to go into new highways all across the US being called Barack Hussein Obama Blvd.

Oh my gosh, I just heard on TV an advertisement for the collector’s edition of an Obama coin. Only available for the next 75 days. Anyone else hear it?

Please tell me this is a joke.

Never again will I question how the German people followed Hitler. The cult of personality is revived in a new century.


Ain’t it the truth? You grow up hearing about what happened in Germany, in a western, cultured, advanced, sophisticated society and you way to yourself WTF? How could that have happened? What were they thinking?

Now you know - wouldn’t have thought it possible but indeed it is.

Billy Jeff Clinton should have his services at McDonald’s. That’s where he was during his time in office.

Sorry to say it is not. I was thinking the same thing all the way through, but it ended with the usual Number to call etc.

Some others saw it too. This ONE is going to make the Clintons look classy if all this commercialization continues.

are you sure it is not April 1 ? ( April Fool’s Day )

Why not April 20?

It was used to celebrate a national leader in Germany for several years, but hasn't been used since 1945.

It just seems right for The One.
