Talk about a giant middle finger...this is great.
The rural county, which overwhelmingly supported Obama in last month's presidential election, has approved the second Monday in November as "The Barack Obama Day." Commissioners passed a measure that would close county offices for the new annual holiday and its roughly 40 workers will get a paid day off.

Perry County has 12,000 residents, most of them black. Voters there backed Obama by over 70 percent in a state that gave 60 percent of the overall vote to Republican John McCain based largely on strong support from white voters.
Classic: a rural Alabama county honors the first black man elected President. I can see the burning crosses already...

Gingrich / Delay style gerrymandering at it's best. Isolate all the "radical liberals" in one "throw away" district, so that draft dodging chicken hawk assholes like Saxby can be re-elected. Good for the county though.
