Letter: Confused about Obama’s Actions
Dear Editor,
Before his election, President Obama established a reputation as one of the most pro-Armenian candidates for the U.S. presidency in recent times. He made a firm pledge that he would recognize the Armenian Genocide and continue to aid Armenia. He also stated that he would stand with the Armenians everywhere with a sense of friendship, solidarity, and deep respect. He displayed a rare ability to reach out to our community, which overwhelmingly and enthusiastically embraced him.

I agree with the opinion stated above. Out of one 1.5 million Armenian-Americans there must be one capable leader to challenge the issues in the next presidential election in 2012? Never vote for either political party, they are both Zionist and pro-Turkish in nature; they always have been and will continue to do so to serve their interests.Signed,Armenian-Canadian from the Great White North.
Ask yourself why the President visited Turkey so early in his administration; reneged on his solemn promise to recognize the 1915 genocide; cut aid to Armenia by 38 % and has Senator Kerry speaking at a Turkish organization. Could it be that this Administration’s solution to the Pakistan/ Iran
problem is to embrace the creation of a pan-Turkic “empire” similar to that which was envisioned by the Young Turks?
I agree with all of you regarding the US attitude, do not even think to vote for a President as all of them tell you one thing before the election to get your vote and change their mind after being elected, they are not like “us” the Armenians who trust and want others to do the same, they continue to say “our national interest” and avoid “THE TRUTH” about the genocide by giving the ok to the Turkish government for what they did .
The only way we can do to protect ourselves is to be united and be a strong nation to be able to say NO to other countries that put pressure on us to give away our values and forget the children that were killed because they were Christians, lets not forget their memory ,never,never,never.
Well most Armenian/American’s did it again by their one sided support of Obama! I for one saw it coming. Let’s once and for all come truly together as one voice from coast to coast and form an ad/hock committee to make a difference.
Whoever ACTUALLY believed Mr. Obama was just a fool in the first place
