They had to move his birthday away from the 11th because it was reserved for a future president.

Little known fact: George Washington was seen drinking water while speaking.

This might explain the decline in his popularity.

(That, or more than half of the populace are flippin’ ignorant about American history.)

I wonder what people will give each other on Obama’s birthday? I’m voting “present.”

It seems nobody wants George Washington to have a birthday anymore. Or ever.

What an amazing coincidence. My wife feels the same way about her own birthday.

But what about Obama’s birthday? If we are to someday celebrate it, will we celebrate his real birthday or the one on his “birth certificate”?

Hey BASIL, (Dumbass) George Washington was born on February 11, 1731. NOT the 22nd. I want to see YOUR Birth Certificate or I’m calling Immigration….

En masse, the “Presidents” don’t all deserve honoring. So, the very idea of “President’s Day” is insipid.

On the other hand, the week of George Washington's birthday is celebrated as National Engineers Week, since surveying is a part of civil engineering and George Washington worked for a time as a surveyor.

Presidents Day, in a nation that has does not have a legally elected President is like mowing Artificial grass, making lemonade with Plastic lemons or eating Wax fruit. It doesn’t work because they are not real. What we have here is a pagan liberal holiday that mirrors the Emperor worship of the Imperial cults in ancient Rome.

George Washington’s birthday, his REAL birthday should be celebrated as he was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Washington was a great man.

Hussein Obama is not even an American citizen. To put Obama in the same box with George Washington is like sprinkling sugar onto cheap imitation plastic grapes then feeding them to your children.

No, it’s not. There’s no such thing. Washington’s actual birthday IS the 22nd. But today is the federal holiday Washington’s Birthday. Only dumbasses call it Presidents Day. Don’t be a dumbass.
