Even now, plans under way for Obama national holiday
WND ^ | November 09, 2008 | Drew Zahn

A civil rights organization in Kansas has launched a campaign to designate Nov. 4 as a national holiday, commemorating the election of Barack Obama as president.

"The reason why I want to have this holiday is because it marks the day America grew up," said Sonny Scroggins, founder and president of Bias Busters of Kansas, the organization pushing for the holiday.

Scroggins told WND that America has for too long focused on what our ancestors did during legalized slavery, but the election of Obama shows that we no longer allow race and gender to be the deciding factors in guiding our nation, but integrity and honor.

Planning under way for Obama holiday
The Capital-Journal
Published Sunday, November 09, 2008
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.

Sounds like a bunch of moonbats who get together once a week at a McDonalds. Zero percent chance they get this thing to happen.

There were thousands of blacks who were slave-owners. There were thousands of whites who owned no slaves. There were thousands of whites who were indentured. I'm so tired of hearing about what *our* ancestors did 150 years ago.

Maybe it could be joint effort with Russia celebrating one of their marxist leaders?

They just voted slavery back in. Ironic when you think about it.

I for one will never bow to Obama.

This election was stolen by a Muslim/Marxist who had the power of millions of dollars worth of illegal campaign funds from America’s enemies overseas, the documented voted fraud of ACORN, the unrelenting campaigning for him by the leftist MSM and the most powerful black radical racists, Muslim terrorists and America haters on the globe behind him.

He won’t bask in the glory of his victory in peace. We intend to go after him:

Obama Wins, Economy’s Doomed:

Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and author of ‘The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets,’ says a big-government Obama administration will lead to an economic collapse on par with the Great Depression.

A holiday for Obama? There's only one appropriate day for an Obama holiday. That would be April 1st!
