Now, Obama is 'a little bit Polish,' too
Los Angeles Times ^ | 28 May 2010 | Christi Parsons

Reporting from Warsaw, Poland — President Obama brought his genealogical odyssey full circle here on Saturday when, just days after paying homage to his ancestral roots in Ireland, he announced that he is also "a little bit Polish."

He says he's Polish by way of Chicago, that is, which according to local calculations is often said to be the largest city of Polonia outside Warsaw.

"If you live in Chicago and you haven't become a little bit Polish," Obama joked, "then something's wrong with you."

It has been a festival of ethnicity for Obama in Europe, just weeks after the release of his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate settled -- for most of the people who still wondered, anyway -- the fact that he is a native-born American.

In public remarks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk after a private meeting on Saturday, Obama praised the resilience of the Polish people and their example to young democracies everywhere.

Their story inspires him, too, Obama told Tusk.

"In a way," he said, "I am part of Poland."

In Poland, he's Barky H. Soetorosky.

In Ireland, he's Barky Seamus O'Bama.

In America, he's an embarassment.

And everywhere, he's a damn fool.

He’s the part of Polish that helped round up the Jews, not the part the resisted the USSR

"In a way," he said, "I am part of Poland."

O'Bambi thinks he's had such a tough life, he can sympathize with the Jews of Warsaw during WWII. If only those evil Republicans had to sacrifice, the world would be a better place.

He doesn’t even know who his ‘real’ father is.

From what I have read about his mother he really could be Irish, Polish, Kenyan, Chinese, Indonesian, Pakistanie, American, British, Austrailian, Korean ... and on and on and on and on

Who the hell knows? I’ll bet his mother doesn’t even know. LOL

He’s the bad joke part. Like “How many community organizers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”

.......................................................,,,,

If you are a Chicago politician and you aren’t as crooked as a snake , something is wrong with you.

Nothing wrong with Obama in that picture. Crooked as a snake , and a lying SOB.

Our first black President has definitely taken advantage of Air Force One. Some would say the Presidency has made him “Negro Rich”. It’s a Rodney King syndrome in case anyone doesn’t know what it means, but I think most do.

Hey if the rumors from Chicago are true, he probably did have a little Pole in him from time to time...

Just to finish my thought”

“How many community organizers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”

One. But the light bulb never gets screwed; just the people who need light...

For physical, he’s half white/half dark-skinned Arab. For spiritual, is he Sunni or Shiite?

He’s just looking for someone, anyone to accept him.

He's both, of course.

He's half white/half black

He's half Kenyan/half Kansan

He's half Irish/half British

He's half Polish/half Russian

He's half Palestinian/half Israeli

He's half Stalinist/half Trotskyite

Surely he must be half male/half female as well.

He needs to look closer to home. I understand he has family and is accepted in Kenya.

Who are his Dunham relatives in this country?

Some in the Polish media still wanted more, though. Commentators complained about Obama’s lack of interaction with the public and the absence of first lady Michelle Obama, who already had returned to Washington. (Before leaving Saturday, Obama promised to return with his wife and his daughters.)

He’s supposed to be in Joplin this afternoon.
I guess then he’ll be “a little bit Missourian” - no thanks.

There are already derogatory, racist statements on CNN.com that the Joplin “crackerboxes” don’t need help. I would agree they don’t need a POTUS/TOTUS visit to occupy the Joplin officials all afternoon with the logistics.
