Nevermind the fact that Obama already had a holiday: President’s Day.
Ala. county sets ‘Barack Obama Day’ as new holiday
The sponsoring commissioner, Albert Turner Jr., said the holiday is meant to highlight the Democratic president-elect’s victory as a way to give people faith that difficult goals can be achieved.
The majority of [Perry County's] 12,000 residents are black.
Commissioner Brett Harrison said Wednesday he voted against the resolution because of the holiday costs to the county, which has a $2.2 million annual payroll and is one of the poorest in the state. He said closing the courthouse would also idle some state employees.
“I’m a Democrat, but just in these financial times, it’s not using the county’s money wisely,” Harrison told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday. “The recognition is certainly well-founded.”
This Brett Harrison is an obvious racist hiding behind this “these financial times” excuse. Harrison’s white racism must be purged from the Democrat Party at once. Real Democrats never do anything on a racial basis like, say, creating a holiday for a black Democrat.
