Obama Recognizes Armenian Genocide

[Anomaly]

Well first of all, Clinton wasn't exactly the sole reason we were in a budget surplus during/directly after his administration. NO president can single handedly build up the economic structure of an entire country that well, that quickly. Clinton just happened to be in the right place, at the right time. We were at our economic peak in the '90s. This caused the majority of Americans to spend, spend, spend (unfortunately, the majority of Americans don't know the meaning of the word "saving"). And of course, as is the natural order of things, our economy took it's cyclical downward turn. Those Americans who thought the money would never end, or believed it was OK to keep charging things they couldn't afford to their credit cards, or bought houses they KNEW they couldn't afford, and got really stupid loans for them (i.e. interest only, non-fixed rate, etc), but thought they were going to turn around and sell for a profit before they were faced with the higher mortgages, found their idiotic financial decisions coming back to bite them in the ass. THESE are the people complaining. THESE are the people blaming the government, and demanding they bail them out.

Let's face it. The American PEOPLE are the biggest reason we're in this situation. Yes, Bush is an abomination to American presidential history. Yes, I've seen chimpanzees that were more capable of running a country, and heard dolphins with a better grasp of the English language. I can't wait till he's out of office. However, I'm also tired of the whole "blame everything that's wrong with this country on Bush" crap. Let's get real. It's time for people to start taking responsibility for their own actions. I know it's not the American way, as there's always an excuse or scapegoat about why "it's not my fault!" But our problems are NOT going to be fixed by waiting for the government to do something about it. Relying on, and trusting the government is a large part of how we got into this mess in the 1st place.

If the US economy is bleeding, it is largely due to our own doing. We praise unions, who are destroying this country by asking for obscene pay for remedial jobs (i.e. GM factory employees START at $28/hr!). Then we blame the economy when these companies fold when in reality, it's mostly due to the fact that they can no longer afford to pay such wages, and still remain profitable. We feel obligated to "help the less fortunate". We tend to paint a falsified picture of the less fortunate as being decent, honest people who have "fallen on hard times", when in reality, the majority are lazy leeches who either refuse to work, learn the language, etc., and are looking to take advantage of our "good will" and kindness, and we're all falling for it like gullible idiots.

And if our health insurance is too expensive, that is AGAIN our own doing. It is because for a couple decades now, people have been running to the doctor for every little thing since it's "free" (covered under their insurance). Couple that with the fact that Americans are MORE than complacent with their health epidemics, which are due to their lack of giving a xxxx about their health, and you have a recipe for disaster. Diabetes....heart disease.....anxiety disorders.....cancer....none of this seems to bother Americans, or deter them from continuing their xxxxty lifestyle of eating food fit for rats (which they consider delicious food that they could never give up), and being as sedentary as possible. THIS is what's killing our health care.

BTW, I'm well aware of Obama's...."plans". This is why I made the comment "It's just mind-boggling that people...are mesmerized by all his empty, uninformative talk". The links you provided illustrate that evasive, non-descriptive style quite well. His whole campaign is built on this "change" platform that he never defines in detail. But it's exactly what people want to hear. The country is xxxxed up. We WANT change! We NEED change! And Obama says he's going to GIVE us change, so let's all rally behind HIM! Never mind the details, or what "change" really means. We'll figure all that out later.

I'm certainly not for McCain. As much as I respect and admire his heroics for this nation, that does not necessarily mean he knows what's best for this country. In fact, he and Palin seem a weeee bit too war happy, who are apparently looking forward to this war continuing for "another 100 years", and seem too trigger happy on starting another one. My bashing of the Obama campaign is not meant to apply that I support McCain in any way, shape or form. I thought I had made that clear on my last post. I just don't understand the fascination and love fest with Obama's see-through theatricals.

If I had to vote for anyone, it would be Ron Paul. Anyone who flat out states things like being against the drug company lobbyists (who want vitamins and supplements to be banned), and being pro-natural health remedies is OK in my book. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a China man's chance in hell since stating things like that about entities that run this country is political suicide. This is why you hear nothing of him anymore, and why he was excluded from many polls.

Ummm.....are you forgetting that Bush had that "good start" promise to recognize the Armenian Genocide during his campaign? Obama is a well marketed plastic product. He says all the right things to all the right people to get all the votes. It's hard to fathom that anyone can still be so gullible as to believe a politician's campaign promises. Then again......we are Armenians. Apparently, the most gullible bunch ever.





I disagree. They are an equally crappy alternative for the US, just in their own way. Socialized health care is going to destroy this country, as is increasing taxes on the rich (which will drive more companies out of the country, and cost us jobs). I'm also not fond of this whole bleeding heart Liberal **** handouts business. There are way too many lazy, pathetic moochers leaching off this country's well-fare, unemployment, public aid, etc. systems, and we're ENCOURAGING it. NO one should get a free ride unless seriously disabled, or as a very short term fix in an emergency (I know...stuff happens). This includes all those Armenians in California following the lead of ghetto minorities and living off the government. I'm not a McCain fan, but Obama is going to **** this nation up just as bad in his own way. It's just mind-boggling that people don't see this, and instead, are mesmerized by all his empty, uninformative talk, or hypnotized by his little rock show.

If you want to talk about socialized health care you should come to Europe or why not Canada?But Obama`s health care plan is far from socialized health care.However what he would do is to make health care insurance more affordable for people.The problem is not that people doesn`t want to buy health care insurance, it`s that they can`t afford it.

As for the taxes for companies, isn`t it strange that USA seems to encourage to export jobs to other countries by giving corporations tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas?

And don`t you think that rich people were doing fine when Clinton was President?Obama will have nearly the same taxes as Clinton did.And if I remember correctly when Clinton left office there was a $400 billion budget surplus.Are you trying to say that McCain`s tax plan is any different from Bush`s?Look at your country for the last 8 years.Your economy is really in bad shape and to be honest it could only get worse with McCain.

If interested, read more about Obama`s taxes here:

As for welfare, Obama is acually in favour of Clinton`s welfare reform in the 90`s which was highly criticized because it would make it much more difficult for people to get welfare.


USA`s economy is bleeding.Here`s just another sign:

I entirely agree with you, Hyeguy! Neverthless, a promise is already a good start! Lots of candidates for the presidency of the Republic or any other politicians (Bush, for instance) don't promise to do anything about the armenian concern!

Their are no guarantees and we might be let down again but at least Obama-Biden is a much better alternative for the US and the world.

Most of them rather flatter Turkey, are careful not to go about this problem! They simply avoid tackling the topic about the armenian genocide!

All the candidates always promise they will recognize the genocide but once they are in office they succumb to the pressures of the Turkish lobby and give in. I hope if Obama wins, things will be different but I honestly doubt it. - Ari Orakciyan

Well, Biden's son, who is in the House of Representatives, was one of the first members to approve the bill in 2007, so we'll see what his influence is.

Are you sure about that?

Senator Biden has three children: Beau, Hunter and Ashley. Beau currently serves as Delaware's Attorney General; a captain in the 261st Signal Brigade of the Delaware National Guard, he will be deployed to Iraq this October. Ashley is a social worker and Hunter is an attorney. Senator Biden also has five grandchildren: Naomi, Finnegan, Roberta Mabel, Natalie, and Robert Hunter.
