Obama asks Supreme Court not to hear Armenian Genocide-era insurance claims case

[Gregorian]

10. My family was directly affected by that genocide. Everything should be done to avoid another.

Everything. By stopping short of anything, any time, anywhere, we leave a crack in a door.

My life was profoundly different than it could have been. And my family were lucky to be wealthy, and get a 24 hour head start to leave the country, leaving their marble floored palace behind. They grew pistachios, and were very wealthy from it. They lost it all. My grandmother died poor in an apartment in LA because of that horrible mass movement of people. Some claim it was worse then Auschwitz as they were literally put in trains and just shipped around as they died inside those cars. Or simply marched across deserts to die.

I don't wear my Obama sweatshirt any more. I'm always let down by our presidents, maybe with the exception of Carter. I know they're nice people. Clinton and Obama. But they just didn't want to rock the boat. Fuck the republican's boat.
