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.
This Obama-worship has gone past ridiculous and is careening dangerously toward the mentally-disturbed. I fear that on the day the fantasy land of “Yes we can” meets reality, there’s going to be a national case of buyers’ remorse the likes of which we’ve never seen.

That’s pretty silly. But is it sillier than putting Reagan on Rushmore? Or the greater than the offense of replacing FDR with Reagan on the dime? There’s dumb people in any movement. The question is whether the dumb people control the movement. With the popularity of Palin, we really need to ask that question. But at least we have an answer to one question: Sarah is indeed the funniest Palin. I’m willing to accept John Cleese’s opinion on that.
The main difference being that Reagan’s fans at least waited until he was out of office for a couple decades before suggesting, as opposed to working toward it before he had actually taken the Oath of Office.
Perhaps if Obama had been vetted as intrusively as Sarah Palin, the bloom already be off his rose, eh?
As for dumb people and Palin, I’ll go ahead and take that challenge any day. I’ll stack Joe the Plumber against Peggy “Obama will pay my gasoline and mortgage” Joseph right now and win going away. Better yet, how about Me vs Obama on Jeopardy next week? I’ll even let him pick bring Joe Biden along as the third contestant and spot him the first Daily Double.
I imagine you’d secretly lay a bet on me.
Oh, and speaking of laying a bet, here’s a question that just occurred to me. If you have all this cash you’re willing to toss to the government, why not toss some of it my way, hmm? You don’t have to consider it charity either. You can call it a gift to a distant friend or supporting the arts or something like that. Heck, make a smallish donation every month if you want instead of one big one.
No less than 10 hymns of love, worship & adoration for Obama on youtube….I guess they need an event where they can all get together & sing his praises.
Great reply there, Jimmie, I totally agree.
By the way fostert, my blog needs funding as well, so how about it?
“I imagine you’d secretly lay a bet on me.”
Jimmie, the last two elections have made it very clear who a person should bet on. I’ve predicted every president in my lifetime. When you can predict an election, I might listen to you. But you have proven yourself to be seriously delusional and completely incapable of any future prediction. So yes, I bet lay a bet. And it won’t be secret. I will declare now that I will bet against you. I’ll admit I was only two for three this time. I lost on Palin maken’t through the election. But next election, I will be perfect. And you will still be delusional.
“why not toss some of it my way, hmm?”
Obama already wants to do that. And I’m glad about that. But if you want to bet on your Redskins against my Giants, I’m on. And we can go with the spread, the Giants will obviously be favored.
“By the way fostert, my blog needs funding as well, so how about it? ”
How about you competing in the free market like everyone else? I do it, and I don’t ask for welfare.
Umm…you did read what I wrote, right? You’re talking about dumb people and political movements. I said I’d whip Barack Obama and his running mate at Jeopardy. That’s the bet.
Do you have a pathological fear of addressing the point at hand or what, man?
“Jimmie, the last two elections have made it very clear who a person should bet on. I’ve predicted every president in my lifetime.”
LOL- really???
