Poles outraged by Obama’s reference to ‘Polish death camp’ [from the Doofus-in-Chief's hometown]

Poles and Polish-Americans are having a tough time accepting Obama’s apology — the White House said he should have referred to “Nazi death camps in German-occupied Poland” — for the gaffe Tuesday. They say they have spent a lot of time correcting the historical record that Poles, like Jews, were victims of the Nazis — not architects or staffers of the death camps during the Holocaust.

“If a Harvard graduate can’t get that straight, shame on him. It’s unacceptable,” said Illinois Appellate Court Justice Aurelia Pucinski. “On the walk of honor at the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, there are more names of Polish citizens who, at the threat of death, helped Jews escape from the Nazis, than any other nationality.”

Anecdotes of some Poles collaborating with the Nazis to turn over Jews have some times over the years overshadowed the better-documented histories of Poles aiding and sheltering Jews, said Poles and Polish-Americans.

Chicago Attorney John Pikarski headed up Polish-Americans for Obama. But he thinks the president needs a White House Summit with Jews and Poles to straighten out this slight.

“I’m a former co-chair of the Polish-American, Jewish-American National Council dialogue and this is one of the things that we worked for 20 years to eradicate,” Pikarski said. “The president really needs to do something significant to heal the wounds ... maybe have a conference at the White House for some prominent Jewish and Polish Americans. No slur was intended. But we have worked so hard to eradicate that term.”....

You know, it seems like it wouldn't be a big deal for O'bama to stand up and say:"I'm sorry, folks, I made an error in this speech. I referred to 'Polish death camps' when in fact, they were German death camps, in occupied Poland.I was thinking of Poland and the Polish people, and it came out wrong. I apologize for this mistake."

His stumbling block in doing so is that he didn't say what he said in error.

In fact it was purposeful and premeditated, as further indicative by his tiresome patent disgusting and affronting "I regret" brickbat.

It's always his (and Jarrett's) primary *mission* to get in any "dig"...or his conveyance of utter, unbridled contemption of anyone recalcitrant to dictatorial control/submission, or anything antithetical or fronting of his communist/Marxist beliefs.

In fact he relishes opportunities of "honorary" presentations and speeches as means of a stealth showcasing and promulgation of his love of and belief in all things Marxist, communist and dictatorial.

He always does a thug "In yo face!" by surreptitous means of an Urkel "Did I do that?"

Once his mission is accomplished and he gets the expected ensuing blowback from his targeted victim and other decent people, he predictively follows up with sardonic "regrets" ...after having successfully re-written history, utterly embarrassed the US (muzzie style) and damaged our position and respect in the eyes of our allies and the world.
