Obama celebrates Greek Independence Day

For those who say I never have anything nice to say about Barack Obama, I'm glad he's taking time out to recognize Greek Independence Day, which is today, March 25.

Greece declared its independence from the Ottoman Turks on this day in 1821. The struggle lasted until 1832 when the Greeks finally drove the Turks out, ending 400 years of occupation.
