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.

A guy was even telling people how to bury all your “goods”, ....if you felt the need.

If it's time to bury them, it's time to use them.

Thank God, I no longer have to live in the USA.
It has blown the fuse now, and I feel sorry for you that
have to stay.

In the first week of January, I leave Europe to retire
under the palm trees in the Philippines.

Sounds like we're living in Poland in the 30’s doesn't it?

Wonder what patch the Liberals will make us wear? Perhaps one of a Crucifix or an NRA patch.

"I thought we were getting pie, not cake."

I was browsing through my recipe site yesterday and came across this...

Barack O'Brownies
"I made these on election day and friends and co-workers loved the hint of orange and the sparkle of heat from a pinch of cayenne pepper. Hazelnuts are a star in these brownies, but walnuts can be substituted."

Walnuts can be substituted. I think this person just should have used "nuts" and left it at that...

Well, the guy has written two autobiographies about himself before the age of 44 without a single accomplishment.

That’s what I was thinking.
Usually this fall show brings out the hunters, young and old. Yesterday it was a lot of the young ones buying the cases. Even saw one girl laboring under the weight of a case while her male friend shopped for additional items.

“Barack O’Brownies”

I'm not sure, but that might be racist under the rules of the New Order.

Better be sure you clear your Browsing History and Cookies just in case the Obama Youth Corp pays you a visit.

Will it wake up some of the mind-numbed blind legion of his followers that he is evil??

Unfortunately no.

Friday night I was walking out of my neighborhood tavern and the guys outside smoking were talking about how "we" finally got someone who will do something for "us".

These are middle aged blue collar white guys.

It’s amazing how some people are sadly uniformed. An example was one guy who drove up from Penn. He ended up buying a M1 Garand from my BIL. Got to talking and when I found out where he lived, I asked HOW could yous vote Murtha back in? He didn’t know who I was refering to. Totally clueless. Said he wanted to vote Obama but he was no longer registered. Unreal.

He has to pay for that new seal and transition somehow since what is in the budget is not going to be enough it seems.
