Obama Follows the ADL Line on the Armenian Genocide

Obama denies the Armenian Holocaust
One day after vowing to battle Holocaust Denial, President Obama has
publicly denied the Armenian Holocaust . In an exhibit of hypocrisy
matched only by the `Anti-Defamation' League's Abraham Foxman's denial
of the Armenian Holocaust , President Obama has dishonored anniversary
of the start of the genocide by releasing a statement describing the
Armenian Holocaust as an `atrocity.'
Apparently, to President Obama, history is something to be twisted to
the wishes of those who hold more power. Obama, like Foxman, values
the cooperation of the Government of Turkey more than he values the
principles that give rise to the dictum: `Never again!'
By denying the Armenian Holocaust, President Obama broke yet another
campaign promise . We can now add `Holocaust Denial' to the long list
of his other disappointments: the abandonment of single payer health
care insurance, the escalation of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
the failure to address `Don't ask, don't tell,' the failure to produce
a stimulus plan that aides American workers, the failure to oppose
outsourcing of American jobs, and the failure prosecute those who
ordered and participated in torture.
As if these broken promises were not enough, President Obama has
sought to defend and expand the NSA's ability to spy upon Americans ,
give the Government the ability to search personal computers at will ,
and to shut down the Internet at will . Despite these grievous
violations of our trust, the American left has failed to organize
against President Obama's Administration. Shall we add ourselves to
the list of American hypocrites?
