Ah, I can think of more important dates….

This at MichelleMalkin’s caught my eye:

Followed the link on Spike Lee’s picture to this by Mark Finkelstein at Finkelblog:

Spike Lee: God Ordained Financial Crisis To Ensure Obama Victory

I guess this lets those evil Wall Street speculators off the hook . . .

Spike Lee has declared that God himself ordained the financial crisis to happen when it did in order to propel Barack Obama to victory.  The film director offered his odd analysis on today’s Morning Joe . . . but not before declaring that tomorrow’s inauguration will be “the most important day in the history of the United States of America.”

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Let’s talk about tomorrow.  What are you looking for?

SPIKE LEE: I think it’s going to be one of — I think it’s going to be the most important day in the history of the United States of America. I was able to finagle a good seat for my wife Kai and I, so I don’t really want to try to guess how I’m going to feel, but it’s going to be something deep and profound. Thank God I’m going to be able to witness with my own four eyes tomorrow. 

Important?  From the fact that the first black President will be sworn in.  From my perspective, once done, it over.  To me, the important part then is the policies he puts forward and not his skin color.  In fact, as far as I’m concerned, his skin color doesn’t matter at all.  

As the holder of the Office of the President, he will have my loyal respect as the current President of the United States.  And I will also oppose, as part of the fairly vocal Loyal Opposition, any policy he promotes that goes against my core beliefs.

BTW, I can think of a few more:

  • The day when the first Founding Father first plotted for these formerly British colonies to be free
  • The day of the Signing of the Declaration of Independance
  • Winning the Revolutionary War
  • Putting the Constitution and First Articles of the Bill of Rights into force of Law
  • Winning the War of 1812
  • The Civil War ending with the Union not split asunder
  • Winning World War II
  • Winning the Cold War 

I’m quite sure YOU may have more – let me know what they are!
