Barack Obama: Supporters Propose National Obama Holiday
Barack Obama:
Supporters Defy “Cult of Personality” Charges
By Stumping for National Obama Holiday
Might this be just a bit premature?
Plans are being formulated to promote a national holiday–for Barack Obama?
Obama, who is president-elect and has a number of interestingly-named websites, will become the nation’s 44th president on January 20.
From the Topeka Capital-Journal, Planning under way for Obama holiday:
“Yes We Can” planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald’s restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama’s honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.
At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald’s, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.
No word if Kool-Aid will be served with the Obama cake.
As a comment left on the C-J website exclaims, “Are you freakin kidding me? A national holiday for a guy who hasn’t even shown if he can lead? He may be the president elect, but he hasn’t even proven that he has what it takes to lead this country.”
We will note for the record that Obama does has accomplishments:
- He has headed up a presidential campaign
- Has named two people to important posts in his incoming administration
- Garnered 52% of the country’s support in the just-completed election
- Authored two autobiographical memoirs
- Been a member of the U.S. Senate for almost four years
- Excited supporters, and
- come up with a variety of nifty pre-presidential seals featuring the words “Obama” and/or “Change”
January is already crowded with Hunt for Happiness Week (January 18-24); while January 20 is “Rid the World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day”.
The month of January itself is recognized as California Dried Plum Digestive Month, among other things.
Why shouldn’t he have his own holiday?
The King is honored (Elvis Presley Week(?) January 8-11), why not a day for The Messiah?
Reactions from around the Right half of the blogosphere:
- Stop the ACLU: Are You Ready for the Obama National Holiday?
“I propose the date of April 1st!” - The adoration of the Obamessiah
“Now, remember: If you oppose the Obama National Holiday, you’re a RAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!” - Koolaid Drinkers Want Obamaday Holiday
“First I thought we were not a racist nation, but I learned the hard way that we are a racist nation.
Why? Because if Obambi was white, he never would have gotten elected. The man has no record, no resume, no recommendation (sans terrorists and race baiters). In other words, he was elected because he was black. That’s pathetic and racist.” - The Obama Cult Of Personality
“In the end I believe the only thing the liberals are accomplishing with this embarrassing cult of Obama is setting themselves up for a huge disappointment. What happens when Obama starts to pull back on all those completely insane promises he made? Many will make excuses for him but those on the fringe left will be mighty upset.”

Dillinger:
As if any of us could vote on this kind of shit. I can’t wait to see what else these lunatics come up with…….for a guy that has NO experience besides what Mondo outlined above, forgetting his stint as a “community organizer”. Oh……I forgot, he’s the first “black” president.
Wait…………he’s half white.
Maybe it should only be half a day.

I’ll make them a deal…they can have ANY holiday they want once the honoree is deceased.
They can either wait for it, or make it happen. Either way, I come out ahead.
I probably just secured my place in hell.

I thought Clinton was said to be America’s first black president until Monica Lewinsky described his genitalia to be “about 4 inches long and the diameter of a quarter.”
For those that still believe it, then isn’t Obama mearly riding on his shirt tails?

Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
