Legendary Polish Solidarity leader and co-founder Lech Walesa did not agree to meet president of the United States Barack Obama on Saturday afternoon. Walesa said: "it does not suit me" answering journalist why he was not going to talk to Barack Obama. Lech Walesa in the interview for a national newspaper added that he does not have time. According to the source, who spoke under the condition of being unnamed to the Polish Press Agency (PAP), Walesa was invited on the short notice, a day before the meeting with the American president. Later US Ambassador Lee Feinstein telephoned former Solidarity leader asking him to change his decision. Walesa denied.

What was the reason?

I’m guessing Walesa knows how the American unions have misused his legacy and wasn’t about to provide a photo op for Obama.

Yep, the stupid-rich in America are enamored with both Communism and Islam because they have never experience it.

Islamic people and people from Communist countries fear Islam and Communism more than anything. People who actually know what they are talking about, people who have actually lived it, know better than Hollywood, multi-millionaire Leftists, and the idiotic hippys.

Wait until Sean Penn has his bank account and his home ‘liberated for the people’. Wait until Behar and Whoopie get arrested for driving or not wearing a burka. Then we will see how dedicated they really are to turning America into a third world dictatorship.

Obama and his supporters talk the talk, but they do not walk the walk.

Bibi, Lech - it's comforting to know there are still SOME real men left in the world...who stand on principle, who have honor.

Maybe the difference is - they always had it, fought and suffered without bending - and still stand tall.

Hoorah for Lech - our little tin-pot doesn't deserve to be in the same room with him or Bibi.

I had forgotten obama made a significant shift in US policy by ditching the missile defense shield- and announced it on the anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland. Got to hand it to the pos, he has timing

It is understandable for a man who helped shed the shackles of communism from Poland, to refuse meeting a leader who is imposing the shackles of communism on the USA.

Walesa’s loss.

Obama might have told him about his [Obama’s] Polish roots and heritage.

I’m only sorry that Walesa didn’t say that Obama cancelled the missile defense to protect us from communism and now he wants me to honor him with a state visit.

you are right.

When my daughter and hubby were stationed in Nova Scotia a few years ago, I got to visit a couple times. It felt like our country was when I was a kid growing up on my grandparents farm.

My kids loved it there too - and have considered retiring there - it's duel citizenship. NB & Nova Scotia are also 'removed' somewhat from the rest of Canada - a plus.

It might be the place...if Harper can root out the socialists and push back the muzzies and the politically correct/hate speech that is giving them the upper hand.
