A measure to make former President Barack Obama's birthday an honorary state holiday now heads to the governor's desk after clearing the Illinois House unanimously Friday.
The bill would make Aug. 4. Barack Obama Day in Illinois, but state government and businesses would remain open.
"Mr. Obama served this country well, and I really believe personally, that we should give folks their flowers while they're still alive," bill sponsor state Rep. Marcus C. Evans Jr., D-Chicago, said on the House floor. "So honoring our president while he can experience it and feel it and and show the love, I think is needed."

... I'm sure you Freepers will also want to join in and give the Goof the love he needs ...
Thought they already had two days for this - 22 April and 1 May.
I gotta get out of this shithole state called Illinois .....
They should hold off on naming a day until they know which day precisely the state will have to file for bankruptcy.
Kenyan, Barack Hussein Obama, born of a womanizing, drunk, druggie and, a woman, who like the village bicycle, everyone has had a ride, is a failed POTUS and traitor/turncoat to the USA and all African-Americans!!! Shame on every citizen in the useless state of Illinois!!!
Why not a day to honor all Illinois Presidents?
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, ULYSSES GRANT, RONALD REAGAN, and BARACK OBAMA???
“The bill would make Aug. 4. Barack Obama Day in Illinois, but state government and businesses would remain open.”
The govt “workers” would have to go in to the office on BHO Day? What kind of Boojie honkie backhanded crap is that? BLM is ramping up the protests as I write...
I celebrated this morning with a big stinking, steaming, pile in the toilet that looked exactly like him and I quickly flushed.
And those are his good points!
Okay, they want to call it a holiday, but keep the banks and government offices open.
How will they celebrate it, then?
Will the shopping malls and department stores offer “Obama Day specials?”
Or will the people of Illinois be called on to send the ex-president presents?
B.O. Day — should be a hoot! ... Lots of screaming and hollering, sporadic gunfire, looting ... oh, wait, that’s not B.O. Day ... in Chicago that’s every Friday and Saturday.

Twenty years after 911 became the national emergency number, Mr. Community Organizer was johnny on the spot getting it for everyone - not. I've yet to hear of one thing he did for the community.
On this day, 2+2=5 if you want it to, and if anyone corrects you, they are a racist.

And with it the new tradition of seizing other kids presents
