“Carry a big stick” in diplomacy doesn’t mean sharpening the end of it, and poking it in everyones’ eyes. The Pope said genocide and the President, like every one before him since WW ONE!, hasn’t been very critical of Turkey, our friend in the UN, like during the Korean “conflict”, and up to our current invasions in their back yard.
The Armenian massacre/genocide, was an atrocity, so was the Israeli kiling in the Sabra camp in Lebanon, and our own bombing of Nagasaki as “test two”, on the city in Japan that held almost every CHRISTIAN in Japan! (as they’d been shipped there long before we targeted it, a collateral target of opportunity if the weather is bad.)
American policies since WW II have basically been, "If at first you don’t succeed, just keep doing the same stupid, aggressive, “stuff” to try for total world domination, by OUR CORPORATIONS!"
The difficulty in this situation is that America needs Turkey as an ally against ISIS, and calling them on the genocide issue would alienate them. A difficult call, to be sure, and one light-years away from the binary, black-white yes-no “thinking” of the neocons who have no greater responsibility than to sit back and hurl insults at President Obama.

Well, the Armenians are Russia’s allies, so the Dronemonger won’t waste sympathy on them. Just as he has no sympathy for the Gazans, Yemenis, etc.

I certainly think Obama should apologize for the Armenian genocide.

The Obamargheddon should apologize for burdening the world with his debilitating presence.
