White House shrugs off Polish apology demands (not going away, Bammy)
Yahoo.com ^ | Wednesday, May 30, 2012 | via AFP

Poland had earlier insisted that Washington must do more than simply express the "regret" offered by another White House spokesman late on Tuesday, hours after Obama's use of words deemed offensive by Warsaw....

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Obama's words had hurt all Poles and he expected more from Washington than just regret.

"I am convinced that our American friends can today allow themselves a stronger reaction than a simple expression of regret from the White House spokesman -- a reaction more inclined to eliminate once and for all these kinds of errors," Tusk told reporters in Warsaw.

"Today, this is a problem for the reputation of the United States," the prime minister said.

Members of Poland's Jewish community -- including the country's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich -- said in a statement that: "We expect President Barack Obama to personally correct his words."....

Poland's government keenly watches the global media for descriptions of former Nazi German death camps as "Polish" because it says the term -- even if used simply as a geographical indicator -- can give the impression that Poland bore responsibility for Nazi Germany's World War II genocide....

Pet bust, may the long friendship

Perhaps Barack Trayvon Obama should offer the standard liberal apology:

"I'm sorry you feel offended."

Dear Poland,

We think the Obamadork is an idiot, too.

Hopefully, we’ll send him back to Kenya in Jan.

Then, do with that piece of s&$@ as you will.

You know you right wing hatemongers are going to love the next 4 years of Obama. I for one will do a dance of joy when he shoves your redneck trailer trash words back into your pieholes. I can't wait for the whining and crying from the right, it will make the last four years seem like a love fest.

OBAMA is your president, he represents all of Americe to the rest of the world Listen closely douchebags, he is YOUR PRESIDENT LOL LOL LOL

---from the comments at the end of the Yahoo News article.

I reposted this here because I want Freepers to think about ALL of the ramifications of re-electing Barak Obama President of the United States.

Not just the loss of freedom, the loss of dignity, the loss of prosperty, the loss of our very country... but the loss TO people like this.

This poster, whoever he is, has it right. If Barak Obama is re-elected he and all his friends WILL be spitting in our faces and the previous four years WILL seem like a love fest compared to what's coming next... if Barack Obama is re-elected President of the United States.

This was the Nazi plan for the Poles, which had been partially carried out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_crimes_against_ethnic_Poles

At which point the Nazis had exterminated the Jews, the very same camps were to be used to finish extermination of all Poles who could not be “Germanized”, and who were not suitable for being worked to death as agricultural slaves!!!!

obama’s ignorance, insensitivity, and just plain Dummheit are intolerable!!!!

The Nazis and their Croat and muslim (Bosnian and Albanian) allies also had similar plans for the Serbs as for the Poles. How vile and intolerable it is that among obama’s Medal of Freedom awardees is Madeleine Albright (Halfbright), the Serb-hater and mass murderer of the Serbs in our current era!!!!

PHOOEY to obama and his entire slimy crew!!!!

This is a perfect demonstration of the sheer arrogance of this man, this Obama.

Any time he steps in it, he simply doubles-down.

Enemy of America? Apology granted.

Ally of America? Apology denied.

The Europe of old is dead crap to Obama. If it isn’t Muslim or equatorial he feels no one cares who matters.

-——Its time the USA stop apologizing for anything period.. -——

There is a difference here: rather than apologizing because America exists as his normal
MO, he actually offended the entire polish nation and people....

He screwed up and should make amends....

With all due respect Bullshite.

This is US domestic election year politics.

If Bush had said it last time around there would be no out cry from the right.

Just stop the idiocy of apology no matter who it is and who you may support politically.

The country is turning into a bunch of oversensitive crybabies and wimps irregardless of political philosophy.

It would be so easy for Barack Obama to say he trivially misspoke himself here. Why is he quadrupling down?

He would have to admit that TOTUS was wrong.

TOTUS is never wrong.
