Jesus H. Christ. Why don't we just canonize him and make him president for life. A few readers sent me this tidbit.
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.
He hasn't even assumed office yet and these bonerheads thinks he deserves a national holiday.
"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.
Saint TelePrompTer of Yes We Can.

Posted by: Bob Plyler on November 10, 2008 12:35 PMAre the Vegas oddsmakers taking bets on how many cities will have streets named for him before Jan 20?
Wonder if there are any You Tube videos yet of him gliding across the water, healing the sick, or breaking loaves 'n' fishes ?!? This is CRAZY...
Posted by: Sandy G on November 10, 2008 12:40 PMHow does "That One" react to this shit!!!???
Is he Humble, and say no...or will he be quiet and relish in his ascension into "Heaven"
beware of the "Anti-Christ"
Posted by: ty guy on November 10, 2008 12:54 PMDoes this surprise anyone?
Obama is going to get a build up like no other politician has ever recieved. I like Jim at Parkway Rest Stop`s take where he says Chris Matthews should be required to wear a slobber cup when he speaks about Obama.
I posted about Juan Williams on Election night who almost pissed his pants while gushing with adolation for the greatest election in the history of the country.
This is typical of the liberal media & we are going to fed this BS non-stop regardless of whether or not Obama accomplishes anything.The rhetoric for the Clinton`s or even the Camelot fairy tales for the Kennedy`s will be insignificant to what they are going to spread for Obama.
What is really amusing is they are portraying this as the most significant achievement of a black American in the Nation`s history. The truth is Obama has very little African blood as he is the product of a Union between a muslim with limited African blood & a Caucasian American girl. This has really got to Piss off Rev`n Jackson & Honest Al Sharpton.
More then likely in our Nation`s past there has been many achievements of people with more African blood lineage which went ignored or undiscovered because they appeared to be Caucasian.
A national holiday for Obama .......,..I will not be surprised one bit if it happens, after all we were force fed the make believe holiday of Kwaanza, why not a holiday.
Well as I posted before , He may be America`s president , He is not & will never be mine as being at least a Socialist , he is an Enemy of this Country. I will keep an eye on what he does & says ......In the mean time , pass the popcorn, the Odyssey & Beatification of Saint Obama continues.
Yeah, well. I am going to sell holiday puke buckets if that happens.
Posted by: PeggyU on November 10, 2008 01:17 PMI posted this before but way late and nobody read it, so since it fits the topic of worship and adulation, here it is again...
You know....on election night on my neighborhood the "African American" population was going wild with glee. A couple cars full of young people drove through the neighborhood honking and screaming out simply "OBAMA!!!" Air horns were honked, fireworks were shot off, backs were slapped and firearms were illegally discharged skyward (some irony there).
What kills me is that while Barack Obama may well have dark skin as a result of being a half-breed Negro, he succeeded in this world only because he spent his formative years as far away as possible from "niggers." Raised by a white family in Hawaii, a state with a black population of less than 2% today and an even smaller percentage back in 1970. Barack Obama was little influenced by black culture until he reached his college years and sought out immersion in liberal black society.
Think for a moment of Obama being raised in Detroit or Kansas City and the opportunities he would have had to run with the black youth in those cities. Would he have set himself up for admission to Harvard? Would he have worked hard in high school? Or would his friends have ridiculed his dreams and pressured him to conform to their low standards and limited goals?
Generation after generation, blacks in this country have failed to secure the American Dream because black culture never valued some of the critical building blocks to create the dream, hard work, education, entrepreneurship, homeownership. Those blocks that were valued, family and church, have been eroded since the 1960's.
Now there is joy and celebration that "one of their own" has ascended to the most powerful position in the world. The irony is that if Obama shared anything less superficial than skin color with them he most surely would not have gained the Presidency.
Posted by: Brad on November 10, 2008 01:28 PMPlease do not think that everyone from Kansas feels this way, WE DON'T!! That is the kool-aid drinkin' liberals in the other end of the state, overall McCain carried the state of Kansas. Just a few idiots out there that need to move to a blue state!
Posted by: Travis on November 10, 2008 01:56 PMC'mon, folks. Can't we be happy for this man ?
I enjoy seeing endless news briefs about every time Obama eats a sandwich, uses the bathroom, or scratches his nose.
No, really. I can't get enough. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA [/sarcasm]
B. HUSSEIN's bullshit will still stink long after he's gone.
Posted by: thatjerryguy on November 10, 2008 02:07 PMI have already developed ODS.
Usually I stand behind the "system" and acknowledge the person voted in as my preseident.
There are too many issues outstanding about this guy such as "where is that birth certificate" proving that he is in fact an American citizen and legally holds the office he was elected to?
That and the fact I don't watch American Idol so I have no use for a trumped up phony.
Posted by: Willie on November 10, 2008 02:32 PM"Shouldn't he at least DO something?"
Geez, haven't you even been reading the news lately. He already has done something. He's announced that his first day in office will be tons and tons of executive decrees undoing what Bush did (and some of Clinton) and adding a bunch of his own. This term hasn't even started yet and it's already very interesting. The soviets are curious because they are aware, and admit, they expect him to be soft on national defense, the Brits realize we have taken the next step toward socialism in electing him, making them very interested in how much closer we are to them, and the world is wanting us to "be part of a large worldwide push for community". Whatever the fuck that means. I hope the next conservative candidate for President in 2012 takes this philosophy "Rest of the world, Fuck em. If it ain't good for us, Fuck it." This is what the American people really want and not this "Hope and Change", vague bullshit the magical negroe is peddling.
Posted by: Ray on November 10, 2008 04:06 PMWouldn't it be great if everyone in Kansas decided to go to Burger King for the next couple months!
As this all seems to be happening at a McDonald's, I wonder how much of a fall-out this franchise would take. Hey--The Great Rev. Jackson and Sharpton boycotted places all the time for their causes--I'm sure they would approve.
The good folks of Kansas (thru-out the ENTIRE state) should boycott Micky D's til The One gets in!

Posted by: Woody on November 10, 2008 06:17 PMbrad - you are right, I missed that post the first time. glad I did not this time. It does however test the borders of political correctness so it found a home in the right place.
I am taking a bit of a different tack with this thing. I am smiling and nodding. I take great comfort in America's consistency. We love to build up the hero or icon (Michael Jackson, Mark McGwire, Martha Stewart onandon) but we LOVE tearing them down. Lets give them all the rope they want. I for one will simply sit back and wait for the inevitable galactic fvck up. only then will they hear from me. Until then, name your kid after him, rename MLK Blvd BHO Blvd, make a shrine to all sock puppets...whatever. go for it. enjoy your 15 minutes, because either the libs are right and it is peaches and cream from here on out or the shit will hit the fan. either way, I get some satisfaction.
I am popping my popcorn.
Posted by: patrick on November 10, 2008 09:01 PMBest case scenario- Hussein Jug Ears WILL be a Jimmah, a clueless F!ck-up who meant well, but was WAY outta his league, Billy Barty trying to go up against Dr J...Worst Case scenario-Obama will surround himself w/"n1gg3rs" of the worst kind, who steal anything that's not bolted down too tight, & you have a Kwame Kilpatrick style train wreck writ large that even the fawning media can't hide for him...Hmmmmm...On 2nd thought, that MIGHT be the "Best" case, after all...Hehehehehehehe..-Unca Sandy
Posted by: Sandy G on November 10, 2008 09:57 PMYou don't declare a national holiday, name aircraft carriers or print money or postage stamps in honor of a man until he's dead, and you can evaluate his entire life's work. Obama's life's work hasn't yet begun.
Well, come to think of it, third world dictatorships do put the tyrant's image on their currency, erect statues and declare national holidays. I guess if that happens here, we'll know what went down.

Posted by: ty guy on November 11, 2008 03:01 AMIn 2012, during the presidential campaign, the GOP should take up the Obama campaign motto, "Change we can believe in." By then, the country will be sick to death of The B-HO and will want just about anybody but him.
That is, if he doesn't get impeached for gross malfeasance of office first.
Posted by: Scottiebill on November 11, 2008 02:40 PMI live in Kansas and BHO only got the majority of the votes in three counties. Douglas which hosts the biggest college in the state, KU. Wyandotte which is the low rent part of Kansas City, and Crawford which has a college which caters to KC students.

I agree with ty guy...too much of this shit fits in with Revelations...this fucker is definately part of that equation...scarey shit man!
...and yea! shouldn't he do somethin' first?!
course if I mounted Michelle...I'd expect a medal myself...or at least hazard pay!
...oh yea...KEEP THE "CHANGE" Palin 2012!!
Posted by: Tony K on November 12, 2008 08:08 AMSome people are not paying attention.......
Impeach Obama......Not a chance with a Democratic Congress & Senate, He could be selling crack out the front door of the White House & the loyal democrat`s would just look the other way like they have for all the indiscretions, thievery & other crimes for about half of the seated Democrat`s in office at the present time.
You can be sure the Mainstream Media will be there to cover up anything he does wrong as well as spread the feel good BS already being delivered on the news non-stop.
Any removal of Obama will have to come from the voter`s.........I seriously doubt those who really care will be able to overcome the welfare vote, the ignorant vote,the loyal unionized teachers & government employee vote & the fraud vote.
Most likely we are looking at eight years of socialist BS before we can even hope to resurrect the United States.
