WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama was unequivocal during the campaign: As president, he would recognize the nearly century-old massacre of Armenians in Turkey as genocide.

In breaking that promise Friday, the president did the same diplomatic tiptoeing he criticized the Bush administration for doing.

Ronald Reagan remains the only President to have issued an Armenian genocide proclamation.

Some governors have already done so.

Those who desperately want to be seduced will find a way, and will find someone who will be more than happy to seduce them.

If you vote for me, I promise to make promises.

My guess is that he’ll find yet another way to seduce not only the Armenians but all of the aggrieved, seduced groups in the US, in 2010.

And they’ll all go for it again.

IMHO Bambi’s TelePrompter has a bad case of the hiccups, or maybe it stutters.

For most of those at Free Republic, they are not taken by surprise at this stance...many more flip flops to come.

Of course — breaking promises is not a sin when the definiton of promise means nothing.

Statement on the Armenian Genocide by Ronald Reagan - a President with a sense of morality.

In a proclamation on April 22, 1981, Reagan stated,

“Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide of the Cambodians which followed it - and like too many other such persecutions of too many other peoples - the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten.”
