I find it appropriate, though certainly and unintentionally ironic, that this date was chosen for the signing of the health care reform bill which will, over both the short and long haul, forge chains with which the American People will be bound.
What's the irony you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked.
You see, on this date in 1775 Patrick Henry delivered what is one of the most often quoted lines ever delivered:
Patrick Henry's speech served to urge the American People to shed the chains of Britain.
The irony continues if you read the entire text of what Patrick Henry had to say while standing in St. John's Church in Richmond, VA on that day. Mr. Henry delivered this speech without notes, without rehearsal, without TelePrompTer.

This awful legislation cannot stand.
Obama new exactly what he was doing! He’s all about calculations

The Devil often quotes scripture to serve his own ends.
"The Christian Religion, when divested of the rags in which they (the clergy) have enveloped it, and brought to the original purity and simplicity of its benevolent institutor, is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, and the freest expansion of the human mind." - Letter to Moses Robinson, March 23, 1801
A few days later, he wrote of his dedication to the principles of the Constitution, as framed and understood at the time of its adoption:
"The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me (as President) according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption - a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated [it]. . . ." - Letter to Mesrs. Eddy, Russel, Thurber, Wheaton and Smith, March 27, 1801

He didn’t wait his previously promised “5 days” so should we think this date was calculated? I don’t know if he’s that smart, but he’s devious and his fellow-Marxist traveller czars are keen on dates of consequence, and Muslims are too.
LOL.
Oh yes, absolutely.
Kind of goes along with holder’s salute, “Americans are cowards..”
It will be interesting to observe the level at which massive civil restraint is deliberately and measureably stored away and the do-or-die call is shouldered.
The cackling, cheerleading dim-bulbs of media need to know they will not be considered out of bounds on the field of play.

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. * * *
“Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”
Patrick Henry, Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
The Vernal Equinox is a pagan Sabbat and signifies “birth”.
IMO, they chose that day for this dark, demonic “child”; his “legacy”, to be born.
It was also a SUNday and he is a Leo, astrologically both ruled and given power by the sun.
[could also be construed as an inversion/perversion/mockery of our “Son”day]
So....did he ever find/pick a DC Christian church to attend?
On March 23, 2010, too many Americans are saying, "GIMME...GIMME...GIMME!"
He is not going to “change”.
It will take divine intervention.
Bless you for praying for him any way.
You’re a LOT better person than I am.
