Rauner signs bill creating ‘Barack Obama Day’
Illinois Policy Institute ^ | August 4, 2017 | Joe Kaiser

Posted on 08/04/2017 5:25:44 PM PDT by re_tail20

Gov. Bruce Rauner today signed into law a bill declaring Aug. 4 “Barack Obama Day,” effective in 2018.

Senate Bill 55 passed through both chambers of the General Assembly without a single dissenting vote. The bill would only make Aug. 4 an honorary holiday and not a legal holiday, unlike an earlier proposal.

The first attempt to create Obama Day in the state failed in March by six votes in the House. That plan, which would have made the day a legal holiday, was estimated to cost Illinois taxpayers nearly $20 million in lost productivity and state employee personnel costs given that state employees would have had the day off. Under that bill, had Obama Day fallen on a Sunday, state workers would’ve been given the following Monday off, as well.

Aug. 4, 2018, will mark the first Barack Obama Day in Illinois.

It makes sense. Barack Obama Day would be a fine day to shirk work and protest... anything.

I ask in all sincerity, how do we know when he was actually born? Sheriff Arpaio proved beyond any reasonable doubt that the PDF “document” on the White Hut website was a crude forgery using the birth certificate of Johanna Ah’Nee as the template for Obama’s document.

I don’t rely on any purported “facts” on a counterfeit document as true until I obtain a reliable independent source attesting to those facts has true.

I think they should have the kickoff for the holiday at southside Chicago's glorious Altgeld Gardens Housing Project, wedged between landfills, the sewage treatment plant, and the polluted Calumet River, which a young community organizer named Barack Obama allegedly saved. It has always been a creepy-looking place, but it was renovated a few years ago. Here is part of it today.

It does not matter when he was born, it does not matter where he was born.
He told us his father was a British subject and that made him a British subject as well. He admitted to not being a natural born citizen without actually saying it.
