Hooray! Another Day Off in the Works!

Plans are already underway for a Barak Obama national holiday. Isn't that a little ridiculous? Shouldn't we wait until he actually does something? Or does winning the presidency by using his race to play on white people's latent guilt over slavery and segregation now constitute an achievement worthy of a day off of work?

I can understand black people's jubilation over his election. It shows that a lot has changed in this country in regards to race. While the event is certainly remarkable, the man has a long way to go to prove he is.
