One vote against the Founding Fathers.

The Founding Fathers never celebrated Presidents' Day. They'd have likely scoffed at the idea.

Anyways, the holiday used to be Washington's birthday, a worthy day of honor. But today? Do we celebrate Clinton, LBJ, and Obama as well as Washington?

I'd rather get drunk and watch the Super Bowl.

President’s Day doesn’t celebrate modern presidents, it celebrates Washington mostly, and other early ones, although they throw Lincoln in the mix.

It’s still Washington’s Birthday. Congress has never changed it. Just the media and the advertisers drill the name “President’s Day” into our heads.
