It's recognized this Monday, isn't it?

But I thought it was always honored on Monday.
ETA: I just misread your post. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Back in the day before it was made a federal holiday, most cities (at least Baltimore and DC) celebrated his actual birthday and thus most local jurisdictions down.
My only nitpick is since MLK has a holiday on the 3rd Monday, most calendars do not denote the actual birthday anymore.

Some places still don't honor it. To me, that's sad.

I doubt they would make Obama's birthday a national holiday. He would be apart of Presidents day.
