Armenian hopes crushed as Obama decides not to use the word 'genocide'

White House officials have decided that President Obama will not use the word “genocide” to describe the killings of more than 1 million Armenians at the hands of Ottoman Turks when he commemorates the deaths Friday, the 100th anniversary of the massacres.
The decision, revealed Tuesday in a meeting with Armenian American groups, backs down from a previous Obama pledge.
“As president I will recognize the Armenian Genocide,” Obama said while running for president in 2008.
His decision not to do so now sparked anger from activists.

“The president’s surrender represents a national disgrace,” said Aram S. Hamparian, executive director of the Washington-based Armenian National Committee of America. “It is a betrayal of the truth, and it is a betrayal of trust.”

I won't be surprised when one of our resident dimocraps pipes in with a 'Who cares'
Because the truth is -- They don't. Not a bit.
Afterall, it was just a million and a half people and we have bigger fish to fry -- Like gay wedding cakes
