Illinois celebrates first official 'Barack Obama Day'
[FOX] Illinois government offices remained open Saturday as the home state of former President Barack Obama commemorated his birthday under a new state law.The bill marking Aug. 4 as "Barack Obama Day" throughout the state was enacted without making the date a full-scale holiday. The Illinois House narrowly rejected a plan to make Obama’s birthday a state holiday amid worries that the cash-strapped state could not afford to give state state employees another paid day off.
