Obama Breaks Armenian-Genocide Promise for 6th Year in a Row
25th April 2014
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Happy Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day! Or as I prefer to think of it, Barack Obama/Samantha Power Sanctimony Reversal Day.
Never forget: Here is the current U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and then-adviser to candidate Barack Obama, delivering an emetic of a video plea to Armenian Americans in February 2008, assuring them that when it comes to the April 24 “National Day of Remembrance of Man’s Inhumanity to Man”—in which U.S. presidents are (according to House Joint Resolution 247 from 1984) “authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day as a day of remembrance for all the victims of genocide, especially the one and one-half million people of Armenian ancestry who were the victims of the genocide perpetrated in Turkey between 1915 and 1923, and in whose memory this date is commemorated by all Armenians and their friends throughout the world”—Obama as president would at long last “call a spade a spade.”
‘Flounder! You fucked up! You trusted us!’
