Planning under way for Obama holiday
The Capital-Journal
Plans are being made to promote a national holiday for Barack Obama, who will become the nation’s 44th president when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.
“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.
And there is also this……………
Kenya declares holiday for Obama
BBC
Kenya has declared Thursday a public holiday to celebrate the election of Barack Obama to the US presidency.
“We the Kenyan people are immensely proud of your Kenyan roots,” President Mwai Kibaki said.
African leaders from South Africa to Somalia have sent their congratulations to the US president-elect.
Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president, welcomed Mr Obama’s victory as a sign of hope for everyone.
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu said it showed “that for people of colour, the sky is the limit”.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
OK since they are handing out Holiday’s who wants one?
I love the fall and winter so any day during those months we can have a Wild Thing holiday. No one has to work and everyone that I like gets paid double what they would make that day. Plus you get a bonus check too for just being YOU! And your gas tank can be filled for free, yep no cost to you at all. And your house payment or rent for the month will be paid if you honor the special holiday.
Also eat any food you like and there are no calories. heh heh Now this is fun, and makes as much sense as giving Obama a holiday.
I would definitely love to see a WT Holiday!!!! And it makes a ton more sense than giving one to Obama because you have earned yours WT!!!!!
And of all the things you mentioned, I would only enjoy the day not working so I could be with all of you here on Theodore’s World….that would be pay enough for me!!!!!!!!!
You know what irritates me? It is the “attitude” of blacks after this “election”. They/some feel they are “entitled” and can do anything they want.
As you may remember, I spend a great deal of my time at the VA hospital, helping our returning youth. And a couple WWII guys once-in-a-while.
The day after the election, blacks (predominate workforce) were dancing in the halls, singing black songs, being VERY happy, etc. I overheard, “now the whites will pay”.
I had breakfast with one of the VA execs and said something about Obama. I thought he was going to melt into the seat. He was afraid. He sushed me and said “Not on these grounds”. We literally got into my car and drove “off campus”…he relayed to me that all VA employees had been warned about talking ANY politics, Obamaa, etc.
This irratated me to no end. I’m a volunteer and cannot voice an opinion? It wasn’t even a bad opinion. The fact is….the system shut me off.
Same goes for one of “my boys”. He was talking in a “group session” and was admonished by a resident psychitirist and taken to task for even saying anything about Obambi. On the way home, this young veteran asked me if I had ever read “1984” and “Brave New World”.
What can I say? The young warriors, no matter their race are being told to shut up. Not good, folks.
Come now ‘Comrades For Change’ for this will be accomplished with a simple CHANGE… CHANGE Memorial Day or Veterans Day or Colombus Day for Barack’s Birthday … WHENEVER IT WAS? (No VALID birth certificate, eh?). February’s PRESIDENTS DAY isn’t…good enough for Obamanation. – THE PEOPLE 2009 – 2016, and look for the Communist Manifesto – pre K version…coming to public schools soon?
Gee, I thought this election wasn’t suppose to be about race?
This is a dangerous situation. What we have is the President Elect being a cult figure to a large number of Americans. Will this be used to gather more power than the Constitution allows? He will have a majority Congress from his party and their leadership is as Leftist as he is. With minimal opposition, we could see the Constitution being violated and the Bill of Rights being overruled. Scary times ahead Folks.
If you can, arm yourself now with guns and ammo.
I spent 19 years of relative peace and tranquility free from racism, immersed in multiracial interactions with native Americans, foreign nationals all living and working together in harmony. The nation got a peek of one person and her family who lives that life, she was pilloried and vilified, that was Sarah Palin, so where does the bigotry exist? I moved back 13 years ago..to this!!! There is no place to run, no more frontiers.
“If you can, arm yourself now with guns and ammo.” Amen Tom
The United States is a racist country as practiced by President-elect Barack Obama with his participation and indoctrination of black liberation theology by his mentor and friend the Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the Trinity Unity Church of Christ for 20 years. Add to this the pathetic white guilt of many liberals and we have a nation at war with itself.
So, to come up with a national Obama holiday celebrating black racism by worshipping a false “golden calf” G-d is the height of arrogance and a mockery of everything good that the country used to stand for.
WT, your suggestion for a Wild Thing holiday is too little, too late. We needed you to do this much earlier so that you could have been on the ballot election day. Nicholas would have been a good First Dude.
A holiday for the Most Beautiful and Maximum Leader? Sure, why not. Think of the spin-off Hallmark Cards honoring The One. The Obama Youth could march and little children spread flower petals in the path. Sniff. It is such a beautiful picture.
If obama gets a holiday then, by god I want Jefferson Davis to get one too. Afterall, he is the reason they were freed in the first place. And how about Lincoln who use to have a Birthday in February but now it is known as Black History month. When is White History month ? OR Hispanic History month ?
It use to be you had to accomplish something terrific to get a holiday named after you. Like the Father of our Country or a Lincoln.
But no just have a Black elected President and all of a sudden he is famous ? What has he accomplished. He was a community organizer, who taught people how to register the same person a couple hundred times and to vote as many. That is his sole accomplishment. So now fraud is cause for celebration too. Unbelievable.
John, giggle…. thank you.
This is such a nightmare.
Steve, Silent Observer, OH MY GOSH that is horrible. One would think they were dealing with 5 year olds and had to be careful about conversations around them that might be upsetting.
Grown ups and they say don’t discuss the election of Obama. sheesh.
I am sooo sorry Steve, that would have upset me too.
Darth, but I don’t want to be a Comrade for Change waaaaaaaa LOL
I would rather be a nightmare for the changers. heh heh
BobF, yes so much for that idea my friend. deep sigh
Tom, I agree, we saw so much of the cult thing during the campaign. And it is just not going away. The media is not done worshiping him nor the public that are his sheep.
It is freightening.
Jack, I am so sorry for all of this. I wish I could fix it. I never knew this race thing was still so deep and they just won’t shut up about it in the media too.
Obama’s camp even blamed Sarah Palin for the supposedly made death threats on Obama. They are making her the new let’s bash a rightie now that Bush won’t be there to kick around.
Well I will give it righit back to them and if it rains it is Obama’s fault, if anything goes wrong it will be Obama’s fault. Let him see how it feels to get blamed for every single thing.
Les, DITTO………..
“So, to come up with a national Obama holiday celebrating black racism by worshipping a false “golden calf” G-d is the height of arrogance and a mockery of everything good that the country used to stand for.”
This is horrible and to even consider it like some are doing there is no way these people love our country, and even believe in G-d.
yatalli, LOL so beautiful.
The world is upside down.
Mark, AMEN you said it!!!!!!
This insanity has got to stop!!!!!!!!!!
