Top Priority!

Im really glad that President Obama is taking a active role in improving the lives of those affected by the genocide in Darfur. While in college I had the opportunity to meet a few of the Lost Boys of Sudan and it really hurt my heart to hear the stories of these young men who were ripped away from there homes and had their families killed. Even now that they are in America the "provisions" made by the past administration were still far from anything to boast about!

Educate yourself about this situation if you havent already! There are a number of organizations that do a great work in providing assistance to survivors of this tragic occurrence. Obama is one man he cant change everything without our help!

Below I have provided a link to a recent chat that George Clooney had with Mr. Biden

Yesssss Obviously President Obama was all over the issue even before he lived in the White House!
Best quote of the whole video "As President of the United States I don't plan to abandon people or turn a blind eye to slaughter"

  1. How can he say this if is for abortion and with the laws that he has passed in favor of abortion? A little to contradictory to me.

  2. Genocide is defined as follows "the deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation" Abortion is a personal choice. That I feel is best left as such.
