so he doesn't even go to his own party in Illinois?
Illinois celebrates first annual Barack Obama Day
Illinoisans honored former President Obama on Saturday with the first annual “Barack Obama Day.”
The Illinois legislature last year unanimously passed a measure establishing Aug. 4, the former president’s birthday, as a state holiday.
Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signed the bill into law on Aug. 6, 2017, making this year the first that the holiday is celebrated.
A spokesperson for the former president told USA Today that Obama will have dinner with his family in Washington, D.C., to celebrate his 57th birthday.
