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.

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’ll pick it for the day may decide to do a ‘colon cleanse’.
On that day, we all take enemas to remind us of Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch when we sit down to take our third bodacious Obama.
I didn’t say I approved of BHO Day, just what would happen on it.
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.
All government offices to close with the exception of voter registration and welfare offices.
LOL, just jumping on
SICKOS all of them
I was thinking April 1st
