Mitt Romney Cheered in Poland, Endorsed by Walesa

WARSAW, POLAND — Fresh from a warm embrace from iconic Polish leader Lech Walesa, Mitt Romney will wrap up a three-country trip overseas Tuesday with a major speech that he hopes will send a message that he's tough and more willing to take a harder line with rogue nations than President Barack Obama is.

Romney arrived in Warsaw late Monday after a day in Gdansk, where he enjoyed the most enthusiastic reception of his six-day trip, which was marred by controversies at the first two stops, in London and Jerusalem. He was greeted in Gdansk by crowds that swarmed in the streets, though some were apparently there for an arts festival and one group held a 10-foot-long banner supporting Romney's primary rival for the GOP presidential nomination, Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.

...

Poland and many other countries will certainly do their best to help the U.S. restore its leadership position," said Walesa, a former president of Poland who last year refused to meet with the visiting Obama.

"After our conversation I am quite confident that you will be quite successful in doing that," Walesa assured Romney. "Individuals who have struggled all our lives really favor the kinds of views and perspectives that you share."

He repeatedly said he wished Romney success.

"I wish you to be successful because this success is needed to the United States, of course, but to Europe and the rest of the world, too. Gov. Romney, get your success - be successful," Walesa said emphatically.

Thanks for this post.

There are still a sizable number of Americans who remember the Cold War and the incredible courage and determination of Reagan, John Paul II and Walesa and all those who fought with them to bring down the Iron Curtain erected by the biggest mass murderer in history, Joseph Stalin.

For those Americans, Walesa’s refusal to meet with Obama and his endorsement of Romney can focus us on what is at stake this November.

Most Freepers support Romney/America vs Obama/Socilisim.

The dummy who can’ tell the difference between Romney and Zero, are as goofy as the Ron Paul supporters.

Paul could never win and America can't win without Romney beating Obama.

What’s the matter with you? We need 4 more years of Obama destroying America so we can blame the liberals. Doesn’t matter that he will veto anything put forth by the Republican congress and new Republican senate because we can blame the liberals!! At least we’ll that!...../Sarcasm

The Republican Congress voted to defund ObamaCare as will the new R Senate but no matter, at least we can blame the Marxist in the White Hut when he veto’s it. Obama can continue 4 more years unchecked they can suspend more laws they don’t like and use executive orders, czars and Holder to get whatever they want. I can hardly wait to see the Black Panthers appointed to high cabinet positions. I’m really anxious to find out what the commie is going to do for Putin when he “has more flexibility” /S

The only thing that makes this joke of a presidency slightly tolerable is the firm belief that he’s going to be out on his commie ass come November. I hope to God that when the GOP takes these thugs out in November just as they did in 2010 that they get the message “We are rejecting liberalism!” “We are not pleased with you either!”
