The Capital-Journal
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.

Well, it must be because of his extensive record of accomplishments.

Well, they don't actually say 'why' in the blurb, but am assuming it's because of the color of his skin....
Does seem premature... to have a holiday, before he's even served, or completed a term...
egads..
