Update: National Obama Holiday hits some road bumps

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 11, 2008 10:20 AM

Uh-oh. The planned Adoration of the Obamessiah has run into some planning snags.

Turns out that the Obama cult member who wants to lobby for the holiday doesn’t have as many supporters as he claimed, according to the Topkea Capital-Journal.

You’ll also be happy to know, he doesn’t have permission from McDonald’s to serve “Obama Cake” there on Inauguration Day:

“You absolutely do not have permission to do any kind of Obama planning,” owner Karen Tyler said in a voice mail left on Scroggins’ phone and played for The Capital-Journal.

No worries, though. The NAACP is receptive to the idea:

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for one, was receptive if not officially behind the idea. Hilary Shelton, the national vice president of advocacy, said Obama’s election was of tremendous significance for “a community that was once enslaved.”

“Certainly this very historic moment in our history is something that should be recognized, commemorated and celebrated,” Shelton said.

Hope for The Holiday lives!

    Laugh all you want, but I will bet a years salary that it will happen before the century is done.

    The only question is, what other holiday will be rep[laced or consolidated with another in order to allow “Obama Day” to become a reality.

    And what will the Furniture Store and Car Lots do to advertise their “Obama Day Sales Event”?

    And didn’t anyone tell these ‘Obama Day” organizers that McDonald’s is not quite on the P.C. list? They are not all that supported by the Libs due to their fatty, unhealthy foods, their connections to the depletion of the rain Forests due to their cattle industry connections and alleged racist pandering in certain ad campaigns?

    I mean, if you are going to do something, you need to do just a little bit of homework.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    I thought we already had a national holiday for this. It is called Independence Day and has been celebrated every year since 1776.

    If you ever see pictures of Obama welfare supporters, then you know that McDonalds is right in line with their dietary requirements.

    And if you think this whole “Obama cake” thing is nothing more than a foolish thought without any symbolism at all..you really don’t know the history of such things as “King Cake” so…guess again.

    Sadaam Hussien had special days dedicated to him also, he even got 100% of the peoples votes, but he met a tyrants end.
    Unfortunately, his actions resulted in millions of people dead between the time he came to power and his just end.

    Whose troops will one day pull down Obamas statue?

    Maybe we will find out the answer to the question Libs asked about what we would do if that happened. After all, that was their argument for not taking Saddam out.

    I know what the holiday is for…they want 40 acres and a mule :) Mind you they don’t know what they would do with either but they want them.

    Didn’t they already get the Donkey when they voted?

    With the special presidential symbols, the made up offices like office of the president elect and the unholy worship by the MSM, I think our worst fears are more than justified.

    Here is a little glimpse into what the future may be like for us.

    The MSM should be howling in laughter at this point due to the pure lunacy of this amount of hubris, but they are participating in it all, and it is already scary.

    I can’t believe I’m actually seeing people complain about a podium that says ‘Office of the President-Elect.’ Why? Just why? What do you care? He’s not inventing powers for himself, is he?

    Republicans take bellyaching to a whole new dimension.

    Before I even bother with talking to you, do you consider Bush to be a deceptive man, and more specifically, do you think he was deceptive in pitching the war in Iraq?

    Cheerleaders for Obama
    This is a group of social scientist who would like nothing better than to lobby congress for your tax dollars to fund their projects. They are thrilled with Obama.

    New ground here. Naming a holiday after a live person is so, so dictatorial. I think Saddam had a holiday in Iraq where all the peasants could worship him on that day. In American, we name holidays after men much as how the Catholics determine who will become a Saint. Only after the person has become deceased, and his entire life can be viewed and how his actions hurt or enabled future generations. After an indeterminate number of years as Ruler for Life of the Greater North American Continent, his subjects might be hitting his recently torn down statures with their shoes.

    I remember when people bounced around the idea of Reagan being on Mt Rushmore… Now it is the Obamasiah.

    The days of Reagan and a strong America are gone.
