In 1971, the "Washington's Birthday" federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February, thereby dating the holiday between February 15 and February 21. Thus, the holiday can no longer ever occur on Washington's actual birthday, February 22, as originally implemented in 1880. The shift of date, however, did serve to place this holiday, now commonly known as "President's Day", between the actual birthdays of America's two most revered Presidents — Lincoln (February 12) and Washington.

But a seismic shift in reverence, albeit not in greatness, has occurred. We now have a President who is revered by some with a fervor approaching idolatry if not religious adoration. And, like the Christian Deity, He has a birthday to celebrate — August 4.

I offer the following proposal that arguably will satisfy the entire Nation. I propose that President's Day be shifted to the birthday of The Obama Himself, thereby satisfying The Won as well as all His worshipers.

In return, The Obama Himself will oblige everyone else by resigning from the Office of the President. It's win-win.
