Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama Wants Genocide Recognition



As 2008 rolls near, politicians and presidential hopefuls are taking the streets and attemping to buy votes with words. They promise this, they promise that, only to most likely not deliver once they're in office. We've seen it a million times, really. Bush made certain promises about the genocide prior to his election, but forgot completely after he became president. Here's what Barack has to say:
Sen. Obama stated that the Armenian Genocide was one of the most horrific tragedies that occurred during the 20th Century by the Turkish Government. He also stressed the importance of working to end the campaign of denial and speaking the truth, which in some instances has unfortunately jeopardized peoples’ careers.
The first issue, whether or not you believe his words, is him getting elected. In my humble opinion, he has no chance of winning enough electoral votes to do that, especially because he is black and a certain many states just aren't ready for that.

For those who aren’t aware, there was a genocide that did take place against the Iraqi people.
