Are You Ready for the Obama National Holiday?
ACLU BLOG
By Jay on Stupidity

Hey, remember when presidents had to actually lead and accomplish things before having a national holiday named after them? Well, now all you gotta do is be black and show up for the job.

Plans are under way!

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.

I'm sure it can be a paid day off from work where we take what we've earned and give it to a bum. Perhaps Oprah can give everyone new cars on the holiday! She will need to make sure they are hybrids though. Maybe people will tell stories of how he was born in a manger and stuff. Perhaps government can finally create a nativity scene the ACLU will not want to ban.

Ameripundit:

There's no national holiday for JFK, Reagan, or even Clinton. Yet people are pushing for a national holiday for a guy that hasn't even taken office yet? This has gone beyond infatuation; it's worship.

Michelle Malkin: For heaven's sake!

Daily Pundit:

Some things are just beyond parody. The really sad thing is that John McCain and his campaign lost to this pack of deranged autofellators. stoptheaclu.com
