Someone should make some stickers and whatnot, to help commemorate the rotten occasion...

Illinois makes 'Barack Obama Day' a state holiday
By Brandon Carter - 08/06/17 02:25 PM EDT
Former President Obama is being honored with a new state holiday in his former state of Illinois.
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signed a measure Friday to make Aug. 4 “Barack Obama Day” in the state, according to NBC Chicago. The holiday will be celebrated each year on Obama’s birthday beginning in 2018.
The day is “set apart to honor the 44th President of the United States of America who began his career serving the People of Illinois in both the Illinois State Senate and the United States Senate, and dedicated his life to protecting the rights of Americans and building bridges across communities.”
Senate Bill 55 was passed by both state houses with no votes against it.
Rauner praised the idea behind the bill earlier this year after a previous version, which would have made the day a legal state holiday, failed. The new holiday is commemorative.
"It's incredibly proud for Illinois that the president came from Illinois. I think it's awesome, and I think we should celebrate it," Rauner said at the time, according to NBC Chicago. "I don't think it should be a formal holiday with paid, forced time off, but I think it should be a day of acknowledgment and celebration."

I shall have to remember to fly my flag at half staff next August 4th. Or maybe I should fly the flag upside down – a symbol of distress.
Time for Louisiana to match them by declaring a state holiday for Katrina's “Heineken Looter Man.”
Honorary only. No one gets paid for it.
The traditional celebration of Obama Day involves claiming a fake birth location, and seeing how many people you can get to believe it.
I thought for sure it would be April 1st.
I just FILLED UR the Obama Pot, Smell it?
So, to properly celebrate, I should take large amounts of laxatives, and wear nothing below the waist, so I can spray crap on anything in reach ?? (evil grin)
They should wait and make it the same day they declare complete bankruptcy.

Payless can use that day run a special on black loafers.
In Chicago alone, 400 murders and counting so far this year alone. BLM murdering police officers all over the land. One heck of a great bridge builder. One more reason to NEVER, EVER again set foot in Illinois.
Black Loafers Matter...
Leave it to the broke down state of IL to honor the worst President of the USA that ever lived.
I’m looking forward to learning the number of murders in Chicago, as they celebrate Barky Day!
Mark
They have "LBJ Day"?
Well, I'll be doggoned.
Sure didn't hear anything about it here in Alabama.
We must be racists.
Should’ve been “________ Barack Obama Day” where you fill-in the blank. Personal choice.
I sure hope DJT gives not one penny to these vile people. Let the good ones recapture their state or escape while you can.
