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.

I don’t think so. Not with real phone numbers and email addresses in a real newspaper. Wonder if the McDonald’s corporation would like to hear from the millions that DID NOT vote for the Messiah?

Obama guy at work asked me what gun he should buy.

I am bewildered by the ignorance.

...what is in the budget is not going to be enough it seems.

At this rate, what is left in our wallets won't be, either.

I guess that I'm alone in this, but actually to me this seems like an isolated incident started by some very enthusiastic Obama fans and a McDonalds manager(see contact information at the end of article) who sees a convenient opportunity to "cash" in on the recent election euphoria. I don't imagine that Obama or his minions have anything to do with it. For one thing, McDonald's would hardly be their choice of venue for a rally, it's definitely too de classe. And just what the heck is Obama cake anyway?

I am too, I got angry at a friend from Indiana last night. She is a Rep. and was never voting for such a liberal.
Then she found out about free stuff she would be getting ( good luck with that I told her)....and voted for Obama. Needless to say, I ended the conversation. I don’t have time for idiots.

The media is already talking “Camelot”. They gloated and fawned over the “First Family” and the “Fashion Statement” that Michelle Obama brings back into popularity again. “Perhaps even more so than Jackie Kennedy!”. At that point, I about twisted the dial off the radio to turn the volume down.

They will not say one bad thing about Obama. Count on it. No matter what happens.

Interesting.

Take a look at my profile page --- I had just yesterday updated it with my prediction of an "Obama Day", but I had predicted that it would be August 4th, finally giving us an official August holiday.

At this breakneck pace, it will soon be inflated to an "Obama Month" by 2013 (and here I had thought only the French would ever have a month-long holiday.)

It's a cross between the cheeziest of infomercials and the Biff Tannen video billboard in BTTF's alternate 1985.

90 posts and noone got the Obama day holiday correct--"Trick or Treat"!

(That is not a racist remark because I believe Obama is white. :-) )

I’m still in shock. But what these idiots don’t realise is, wait until he takes office. It will be like a sudden Ice Age has hit this economy. Investors are already scrambling at the thought of 28% capital gains taxes off the top, no hope for recovery or tax shelters to stick them in.

They won’t stop at ending 401-K exemptions either. They will keep on going by taxing annuities every year.

The Lemmings have no idea what lies ahead of them.

I thought people were supposed to be dead before a holiday was given to them.

We are living among the Pod people. Run for your lives.

Hell, my boss voted for Obama, and he owns the business.
He has a major case of BDS.

When I explained the Obama tax plan to him, he just said he would spread the wealth around the family, (his new silent partners), so his business income wouldn't reach 250K. I informed him the 250K is a bunch of crap. It's down to 120K, and it will be revised downward by the time Obama gets sworn in. Fools...

Most of my family are pod people. I sent an email to all of them. 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.
