spied on of your where this but
yesterday wasn't simply
may first
it wasn't simply mayday
it wasn't simply the anniversary of the
killing of osama bin laden god forgive
me
for actually saying those words having
those words come out of my mouth because
it seems sort of shocking that that we
would
market that day
uh... and yesterday wasn't there are
just the resurgence of occupy wall
street
yesterday ladies and gentlemen
was also
loyalty day
data
pay proclamation by the president of the
united states more than two centuries
ago our founders laid out a charter
that assured the rule of law and the
rights of man
now i know many of you are anticipating
the neck sentence to be
so please disregard our policy on drones
on
detaining uh... personnel on
uh... capturing whistleblowers excited
uh... now that wasn't what it was
and it goes on some flower language
in order to recognize the american
spirit of loyalty
and the sacrifices that so many of may
for a nation the congress by public law
eighty five five twenty nine as amended
has designated may first of each year as
loyalty day
on this day
lettuce reaffirm our allegiance to the
united states of america
our constitution
and our founding values
now therefore aria
brocco obama president of the united
states of america do hereby proclaim a
one twenty twelve oz loyalty day
this a little tuesday
i call upon all the people of the united
states to join in support of this
national observance
whether by displaying the flag in the
united states or pledging allegiance to
the republican
for which it's
now before you uh...
well i'm gonna give you guys a moment to
wipe of ahmed off the bottom of your
chin
and regained your composure
no that loyalty day was not
as uh... that proclamation
suggested
developed or
first observed by president obama it was
first observed in nineteen twenty one as
americanization day
and it was uh... intended to
counterbalance the celebration of labor
day on may first
which you all know is is a holiday
celebrated
to commemorate the haymarket massacre in
chicago
in eighteen eighty six
in net
nineteen fifty-eight
the u_s_ congress
made an official holiday
and
dwight d_ eisenhower first proclaimed it
on may first nineteen fifty-nine
all presidents since then except i think
nixon in l_b_j_
have
reiterated this proclamation although it
appears that president obama
was the first to do it twice
