With all of President Obama’s accomplishments, is it any wonder that some are now promoting a national holiday in his honor?
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.

Topeka, Kansas…………Chris Bentley of England, member of Kansas’ Obama Inauguration Committee, offered his services to oversee the creation of the Obama Swirl Cake. Chris is looking for volunteers; he is making an open appeal to artists to help with the creation of the Cake.
One suggestion is to have a picture of Obama and children of all nationalities raising the American Flag. The group is open to all suggestions.
The cake will also have the Dunham/Payne of Kansas/11.04.2008 (who are Obama’s mother’s family) insignia.
The Obama Swirl Cake coincides with a cake depicting Abraham Lincoln during the period of February 22, 1861 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 20, 2009 at the Historic Downtown Ramada Inn at 8:00pm.
