The president referred to “Polish death camps” while awarding a posthumous Medal of Freedom to Polish professor Jan Karski, a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance. Poles believe they're blamed unfairly for the Nazi Holocaust, and the Foreign Minister led the outrage in a late night tweet.

How many Jews did Barack’s buddy George Soros turn over to the death camps?

In all fairness, who would expect an Indonesian kid to know or care anything about American history?

Insulting our friends and allies while bowing to and strengthening our enemies isn't a symptom of dumb.

It's a fully reasoned and deliberately executed action.

For Obama they are all just “typical white folks.” Differences between Germans, Poles, Jews, Russians, etc., are trivial. The only difference that matters is black or not-black.

Very little in politics is done by accident. Why would the Obama team intend to insult the Poles in this manner?

“While I agree Obama is a fool and an idiot, he also is a poor leader because he’s supposed to have an expert staff review his remarks.”

No one on his staff is more of an expert on anything than this president.

I’m guessing strength and integrity, too, after the SS purge.

"Dear Poland,

America takes no responsibility for the big-eared moron and his hairy, bushwhacking wife. He doesn't even know how many States we have. Please direct your anger at Kenya and feel free to punish them, harshly.

Toodles, America "

LOL..hysterically funny!

“..Very little in politics is done by accident. Why would the Obama team intend to insult the Poles in this manner?’’’”

My instinct is to call it ignorance. I remember that Minster Louis Farakhahn was also in attendance at many of Trinity Church’s sermons by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In fact, this so-called Christian church did not require baptism to be a member of the congregation and often included Muslims like Calypso Louie. Since Farakhahn addressed the congregation many times, and since Calypso Louie insulted Pope John Paul II many times,(He wears a dress, He is so old he needs a diaper, etc.), so maybe Obama does think the Poles are the culprits in WWII. His history knowledge is at about the First Grade level.

In an earlier FR thread, “Obma is the victim of failed Bush policies” or something.

Bush made him do it......

‘________Kenyan for “Moron.”

This thread has very humorous comments!
So much originality out there.
