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.
At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald's, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.

Obama cake- no that's too easy.

UPDATE: Plans for making Nov. 4th a national holiday in honor of Barack Obama's election have hit a snag. The owner of the McDonald's isn't on board with the plan.
"You absolutely do not have permission to do any kind of Obama planning," owner Karen Tyler said in a voice mail left on Sonny Scroggins phone..."
