Is it too soon for an Obama Holiday?

Published by Sarah at 5:56 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

First - I want to thank all of you have commented so far regarding many of my inquiries regarding blogging, entrecard, dropping, and the likes.  You have all been so very helpful.  Also, I want to say thanks to all of you who have thus far shown me a lot of support - given events of the recent days! LOL!  Your encouragement is much welcomed.

Now - on to the subject at hand.  I just read a very interesting story on Breitbart about Perry County in Alabama naming an annual holiday after Barack Obama.  First, I want to say - this is absolutely fantastic!  I think that it is great that a county has created a holiday in the name of our President-Elect.  Not only is it a holiday - but - it is a REAL holiday in that government offices will close there for the day.  This isn’t just one of those “memorial” or “remembrance” days where everyone is still up and running.

With that being said - is it too soon for a holiday to be named after him?  After all, he isn’t even the President yet.  As the name of this blog implies, I am absolutely inspired by the man and think he will do great things for this country.  But - this just seems to be going overboard just a bit.  What do you think will happen if, God forbid, Obama turns out not to be the guy we all voted for?  What if he turns out not to be a good President after all?  Not saying it will happen - but - look at what happened with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton!  They both started off pretty good - but ended in disgrace.

I applaud this county for taking such bold steps.  But, is this putting the cart before the horse?

Thanks,

Sarah

    Thanks Stunatra - I guess it’s not just me then. While I get the whole idea that this is the first time we’ve elected an African-American to the highest office and it is a historical moment - I think its just too early to start naming holidays after him before he’s actually proven himself.

    This started worldwide on election day, but to see it come to pass here is a little off-putting.

    We should probably wait and see if he earns a holiday (though I’m pretty sure it’ll happen) before we “jump the shark”.

    Cheers
