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’s strictly honorary. So, over time, fewer and fewer people will give any note of it.

Camel’s nose in the tent. Eventually pressure will come to make it a paid holiday not just an honorary event.

I see nothing wrong with Aug 4 AS LONG AS he is perp walked into Menard Max Security Prison on Aug 3.
Then the next day could be called BO Justice Day.

Yes, and they wonder why we don't trust so many of them.
I guess the babies killed off by Obama's 4-time anti-BAIPA efforts won't be dancing in the streets. Laugh it up, Barack. You did your father's work - yes, the prince of this world and the god of this world.

Should be the gayest day in Gay Supremacist Month.
All drinks can be bought with a $3 bill that day.
