Barack Obama has insulted 38 million Poles with his crass and ignorant 'Polish death camp' remark
Telegraph ^ | Nile Gardiner

Posted on 05/30/2012 4:18:46 AM PDT by nuconvert

President Obama has a long track record of insulting the Poles. In 2010 he chose to play golf on the day of the funeral of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, the Polish First Lady, and 94 senior officials who perished in the Smolensk air disaster.

Eight months earlier he humiliated Warsaw by pulling out of the agreement over Third Site missile defence installations in Poland and the Czech Republic.

And last night Barack Obama caused huge offence in Poland by referring to a Nazi death camp in Poland as “a Polish death camp” while awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Polish resistance fighter. As ABC’s Jake Tapper reported:

Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.

“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted. Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.”

Everything nobama does is intentional. nobama insults Poland on the same day he gives the Medal of Freedom to the head of the democratic socialists of America. Everything nobama does is intentional.

You’re correct, it was no accident. 0 did this on purpose because the Poles are a strong, courageous people who have a history of opposing 0’s type of ideology, and 0 hates anything contrary to what he stands for/believes. May 0 eventually suffer like the occupants of the death camps suffered.

Obama's gaffe is surprising. After all, he once said that he had an uncle who took part in the liberation of Auschwitz.

Of course Obama disrespects the Poles. They are stridently anti-communist, and Obama is stridently communist.

Don't forget the Poles are predominantly white and non-Muslim. (Although this set of qualifications for disprespect would include his pals Putin and Medvedev, he considers the Russians to be at least useful tools until his buddies in Iran can get that nuke thing finished.)

Yes, the Poles are the “conservatives” among europe.

The ones who remember being mugged by fascism and then communism and strive to escape collectivism, not embrace it.

No wonder obama has little time, use, or respect for them

Look, IMHO, Obama runs in the same crowd as Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, so.....his remarks about Poland Death Camps should not be unexpected!!! But....even worse, Obama knows virtually nothing about American history. What a guy, Americans have elected as their leader. Sad!!! Sad....for America!!!

Obama's lucky - the American press will give him a pass.

Then again, if Obama was spitting on small young children for fun and sport they would give him a pass...

Maybe Zero hates the Poles because they destroyed the Ottoman muslim army outside the gates of Vienna and stopped Lenin’s Red Army from spreading their revolution to the rest of Europe.

That's just what it was, an "outrageous error". It was not an intentional slander upon Poland or its people. We have plenty of things to call him on; this one is minor. Unless you're a Pole, of course!

(Obama Nazi death camp gaffe...) Once again Obama regrets as his real self slips through the cracks.....it is very hard for this anti-American, anti-capitalist, bitter half negro to find his footing...he does not like the Hebrew race for starters....but the MSM etc. will let him off the hook to slip and fall again another day....

America is not a good friend to Poland, we betrayed her at Yalta, and our State Department is trying to force Poland to cater to the Sodomites.
