Planning under way for Obama holiday
The Capital-Journal
Published 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...

Psst, you're in college now, they don't get the days off. Teachers in gs and hs do though!

would you say the same if you owned a business and because of holidays you are required to pay our employees time and a half if they work "holidays?"

Good for you then, unusual. Enjoy them, nurses usually have to work 2 out of 3, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. Real life can be tough. ;)

So it seems this is just the actions of an overzealous McDonald's manager from Kansas?
If that's pretty much all there is to it I don't think there should be much to worry about. If Obama was going to get a national holiday I think it would reasonably go after his term is over and I think it is extremely unlikely that his accomplishments would be great enough to merit such action.

She's all about her. Getting a bit long in the tooth for that, but whatever. Actually I think a lot of liberals are of that persuasion, 'make the world better', but you pay for it, not me. Look at the glee at 'soaking the rich' without a brain cell being employed on what the action will result in.
When someone said to MFM to send in an extra 20-30% in his taxes, obviously he thinks he should pay more, 'No, I don't want to. I will if forced.' If it's a 'good thing' do it. If it's not, don't argue for it.

I have no problem supporting increasing the marginal income tax rate even if it means that I will pay more in taxes. I will always willingly pay whatever the legally required tax is.... and not one penny more.

Tell me what it has to do with the topic and what I posted.
Why would Obama need a national holiday named after him when there already is one, Presidents Day. Doesn't that cover any and all Presidents? Or does he think he's special? This because I'm black everything that I do is special thought process is exactly what perpetuates racism.
And here I heard Obama's master campaign team saying he didn't run on race. So why now a brand new holiday just for him because he's black? The Greek towers weren't enough? Where will this guys self grandiose visions end?

It doesn't really seem like Obama really has anything to do with this. It seems to be the actions of some McDonald manager in Kansas.

Yes it is and I think a lot of people both liberal and conservative are of that persuasion. Why else would the rich vote gop in the hopes of lower taxes and more money for themselves.

Why would rich vote for Dems, knowing they would be targeted? Why would middle class vote GOP, knowing the Dems say they'll throw money their way? Not everyone is what you seem to think is the norm.

Even if your employer found he had to lay somebody off, to save enough money to pay the rest of the workers their new holiday pay? And YOU were the one he laid off?
It's always a hoot to see these leftists treat employers as though they had an infinite supply of money somewhere, which they could dole out without affecting anything else. ALL employers would love to be in that situation... and none are.

self employed can very well mean that you run a business and pay yourself from the proceeds of that business as a legitimate expense of running the business. That money you have left over, after paying your bills and paying your employees -including yourself, is net profit... my guess is that you need a good accountant to help keep you from fucking yourself.
and I wouldn't hire "silver" who obviously is an even bigger moron than you are.

It would seem that you did not know that the money you pay yourself is a deductible expense to your business.... so ...
even when you decide to take a fucking day off from your business, you can still pay yourself...which was my fucking point in the first fucking place...

If your "business" is so simple that you "pay" yourself today only whatever you make today... if your cash flow and working capital are so limited that you cannot afford to make payroll today if you don't generate revenue today and your client doesn't pay you for today's services today, then you cannot take a day off and pay yourself.

If Obama gets a national holiday, it'll more than likely be sometime during his term. (or even afterwards) I doubt it would happen this quickly. Also, if it happens, the banks etc. would get the day off as well.
