Happy Obama Day!

I suppose it’s appropriate for a man full of such self-importance that he’s penned two memoirs before the ripe, old age of 47. [Ed. note: or did he?] A group in Topeka, Kansas is holding a number of rallies to promote the idea of a national holiday in honor of Barack Obama — that’s right, they want to honor him before he’s actually even done anything. Bodes well for the next four — or, god forbid, eight — years of overwhelming sycophancy.

“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.
