Starting next year.
Mark your calendars people !

Former President Obama is being honored with a new state holiday in his former state of Illinois.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signed a measure Friday to make Aug. 4 “Barack Obama Day” in the state, according to NBC Chicago. The holiday will be celebrated each year on Obama’s birthday beginning in 2018.

The day is “set apart to honor the 44th President of the United States of America who began his career serving the People of Illinois in both the Illinois State Senate and the United States Senate, and dedicated his life to protecting the rights of Americans and building bridges across communities.”

Senate Bill 55 was passed by both state houses with no votes against it.

Ronald Reagan was born in Illinois and grew up there.

Seems this "holiday" is race-based.

Cebu, what's your point?

Obama was born in Kenya, moved to Hawaii shortly after, and lived there and in Indonesia, until he moved to the mainland US, mostly New England. He set up permanent shop in Shitcago only in the 1990s.
