resident Obama will once again avoid using the word “genocide” at a ceremony to designed to memorialize more than a million Armenians murdered by the Ottaman Turks 100 years ago. During his 2008 campaign, then-Senator Obama repeatedly promised he would label the massacre a genocide as president.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California has been the most outspoken U.S. lawmaker on this issue for years.

This piece of festering sh1t needs to go back to the lands where he can hear what he calls the prettiest sound on earth. Preferably via an airdrop without a parachute.
