    And 20 years of Bush/Clinton in the White House...no thanks!

    Some may have thought that Hillary Clinton's backpedaling on the Genocide resolution back in October or appointment of Turkish ultra-nationalist fundraiser Mehmet Celebi as one of her delegates to the Democratic Convention wasn't quite enough to make her suspect in the eyes of Armenians and anti-genocide activists. After all, she is still a co-sponsor of the Armenian Genocide resolution in the U.S. Senate, right?

    Well, now it seems that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is seeking to end all doubt on where Mrs. Clinton actually stands. In a recent interview with the Turkish daily Sabah, Bill said the following: "Turkey is a very significant country for us. We need to have good relations with Turkey. The biggest contribution to this will come from Hillary. There will be great progress in relations if Hillary is elected."

    He went on to thank the many Turks who "contribute a lot to Hillary's election campaign" and assured readers that relations with Turkey will prosper under a Hillary administration.

    She's also a great option.

    Got a reference on that? I've looked up Godwin's law and didn't find your exception anywhere.

    Edit: nevermind. It just hit me on what you could've possibly meant, and I get it. But above that, he seems like a great option.
    Only insane preachers or snake-oil salesmen claim to have visions. It seems many Americans have learned nothing from electing Bush two terms in a row.

    You need Wikipedia to teach yourself about internet culture? What next, getting nutritional advice from McDonalds?

    I've seen the interviews. I've read the letters. Truly, Obama is a man who realizes the evils of the world, and because of his diverse background, I'm really hoping that he realizes, BEYOND JUST TALKING THE TALK, what happened to the Armenians and how much hurt the denial costed us. My great grandmother died of depression because of the event, and a good number of my family tree was cut off. I'm going to be really upset if he lets it slip.
