The Barack Obama Holiday Express chugs on

The guy who wants to declare the first Tuesday in November “Barack Obama Day” hasn’t given up. Apparently, Baltimore is next on the target list. From WBAL via Inside Charm City:
A civil rights activist from Topeka, Kansas said that America grew up on November 4, 2008 and looked past race and gender, and to recognize the significance of the election, President-elect Barack Obama needs a paid holiday in his honor.
Sonny Scroggins, who heads a group called Bias Busters of Kansas, wants to see the first Tuesday in November named Barack Obama Day.
“A lot of Third World countries, when they open their polls up and people go to vote for their favorite candidate, they get off,” he said. “One thing has always been since ‘69 to get more people involved in the electoral process, so this would be one way of increasing voter participation.”
Scroggins said he has over 5,000 emails from interested individuals across the nation and a number of those emails are from people in the Baltimore area.
He added with the inauguration coming up, he wants Obama supporters in Maryland to start forming coalitions now to start planning their own Obama Day promotions.
Scroggins, who also called himself a community organizer, said although Obama has not yet been in the position to show any presidential leadership skills, just the fact that he was a community organizer and activist qualifies him for a national holiday.
Obama fruitcakes for the holidays. Delicious.

And what is this holiday supposed to accomplish? Another excuse for not having to go to work?
How fitting.
This is where the left wants us to be.
So when is Blago pardon day?
tarpos:
January 20 – assuming Bush doesn’t get there first.
tarpon!!
My mistake!
sorry!!
My spelling is getting worser, it seems.
:SHOCK: Michelle Malkin, you did not show enough respect when you mentioned the light giver, our lord and savior saint Obama the great (PBUH). You now must perform the ritual of cleansing. Report to your nearest obama security force headquarters….
I’m sure the Obama voters in this country were having orgasms when they voted, too.
Sonny Scrogging…… I know I’ve heard that name somewhere…
Scroggins, whatever.
Grew up? Spare me. Only if the candidate was a black leftist. This country proved it’s going backwards to Canadian-style oblivion. When we go down, the Canadians will follow us down the crap hole. As far as “significance” goes, we’ll see about that after the Littlest Sock Puppet gets indicted.
I just need a holiday from Obama.
Only if Barney Frank gets a national holiday also. I’ll take suggestions on what we can call it.
Alabama did it.
How are you going to manage to vote five or six times for the Donk if you don’t get the day off?
I may be mistaken here, but… aren’t holidays supposed to honor people that have actually ACCOMPLISHED something?
I’m trying to think of another holiday here that honors someone that hasn’t done anything…
Martin Luther King, Jr.? No, he did something…
Christopher Columbus? No, he did something…
(In Illinois) Casimir Pulaski? No, he did something…

BLASPHEMY against The One!!
Didn’t you know he was a community organizer??
AH! Come on folks. We need something to replace Christmas with.
Think of it this way: If it goes through and Obama sucks, it will be perpetually known as “mock the rookie day.”
How about this for an idea: We have one day where morons don’t bend over in adoration of Obama.
Hmmm didn’t Adolph start this way?

Adolph Coors? No, he did something, too. He was a successful business man that started a company that makes something that some people call ‘beer’. I would dispute that, though.
These mislead people will be certainly surprised when they realize he isn’t the Messiah…just another politican out for power and his own self-interests. A national paid holiday? He hasn’t done anything yet!! What an insult to those that worked hard for this country, and not for their own selfishness and lust for power. Even Washington has been replaced with a “pc correct” President’s Day.
ONE DAY??? THAT’S IT??? ONE DAY!!???
THE ONE needs a longer holiday to make up for 400 years of oppression by the white man. Perhaps 40 days and a mule?
TXGator – Doesn’t he already have his wife?
“…just the fact that he was a community organizer and activist qualifies him for a national holiday.”
Wha????? He gotta be kidding!!! Sarah Palin was at LEAST a Governor and that wasn’t good enough for the left, but a community organizer gets a national holiday?? Someone please shoot me, I can’t take any more.
Speaking of holidays, I wonder what a Google Search of “Obama Nativity Scene” would yield?
JHSII,
Nice call….my bad, forgot about THE ONE’S BABY’S MOMMA (pbuh).
Uber, get someone to shoot you before Jesus Himself takes the oath of office. Guns might go the way of the dinosaur soon, and I don’t mean they’ll turn into oil.
It’s called President’s Day. We already have it. On 20 JAN, he’ll be eligible to be adored with the previous 43.
OOOOHHHHHHH, I am soooo happy that Scroggins has 5000 moonbat emails from idiots interested in this gush and swoonism. Gee, that means there are potentially hundreds of millions of emails that he has NOT received from other drug-crazed crack addicts, terminally ill coma patients, and inner-galactic space aliens which might be forthcoming.
I fully agree with everyone about an Obama holiday being obnoxious, but the idea of making election day a holiday is something I could support. We have a bunch of useless federal holidays, any one of which could be deleted to allow us a day off on election day. If more people had the day off it would ease congestion at the polls and make voting less of an inconvenience for working people. The current set up punishes the most productive people and when combined with ubiquitous media declarations of victory also convinces a good number that by the time they get off work there is no point in casting a ballot.
We could call the new Obama holiday VD-Day!!
Victory over democracy.
If everyone could get a day off to vote then we could do away with early voting.
Nothing should be named for people still living.
After Barry’s presidency, let’s see if this idea is still around. Any takers?
There is a Photoshop opportunity in there some where…
It makes me sick when these idiots treat voter turnout with reverence. Participation by uninformed people who can’t be bothered to get up early or get home late is detrimental to our country!
I favor making it harder to vote so only those who care enough will participate.
I’m sick of hearing and reading this a$$holes name and he hasn’t even been elected yet.

Hey, why not? The deification is on, dontcha know. The party might starting a bit later with all this Blagojevich stuff, but you never know…
Does he know something I don’t know?
Ahh, that’s better….
VD-Day? HMMMMMMM! (Strokes Chin) What EXACTLY are we celebrating then? And HOW are we celebrating it?
So was Bill Ayers. I’m just sayin’…
A civil rights activist from Topeka, Kansas said that America grew up on November 4, 2008 and looked
past race and genderqualifications and experience… …illegal campaign contributions, birth certificates and past associations.Ahh, that’s better…
.and there’s always more…
