According to the Wall Street Journal, Polish officials requested that Walesa accept the Medal of Freedom on behalf of Jan Karski, a member of the Polish Underground during World War II who was being honored posthumously this week. The request makes sense. Walesa and Karski shared a burning desire to rid Poland of tyrannical subjugation. But President Obama said no.

Obama turned down a community organizer and big union leader? Imagine that.

Shuns a champion of basic human rights who suffered for the cause of freedom but honors a socialist rabble rouser like Dolores Huerta.

Obama is despotic minded commie scum.

Walesa deserved his Nobel Peace Prize. obama did not.

For this reason, obama was embarrassed to be in Lech Walesa’s presence. obama is not even good enough to shine Walesa’s shoes!!!!

Let’s vote the muslim communist puppet obama OUT this November!!!!

I guess Walesa is still offensive to the Communists. Congrats to Lech - his hair may be gray but he still has his mojo.

Walesa and Karski were patriots
They fought to boot the Nazis and Commies out of Poland.

Obama is a traitor - He is bringing his fellow Commies into the White House.

While I understand the sentiment the only current replacement, ORomney, is more of the same fail. Hes the same train wreck just happening in a different place. As i see it our nation is bereft of leaders.

Very astute observation. This is material for a campaign commercial as devastating as Willie Horton.

By the day, Obama is making it easier for me to accept voting for Romney.

Lech Walesa defeated Polish Communism.

Obama is a Communist.

You expected Obama to be friendly to his bitter ideological enemy??!?

It would be such a great honor to meet Lech Walesa, I can't imagine that Obama figuratively spat on him.

The people alive in my lifetime that I would have loved to meet are; Reagan, Lech Walesa, Margaret Thatcher, and Rush Limbaugh.

What an American disgrace these people are. How sad! I hope the 2008 voter slavery shame has been sufficient repayment and America can now get back to our better purposes.
