The monument has been situated vis-a-vis the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and will always remind us, the Polish people, of the best of America. However, Lech Walesa who unveils memorials to Ronald Reagan refuses to commemorate his own president Lech Kaczynski who was killed in a plane crash in Russia in 2010.
"The only significant (good) thing that Lech Kaczynski did to Poland was that he died.", said Lech Walesa in a TV interview which can be seen on YouTube in the Polish language. This made that half of the Polish people, the part who votes for conservatives, just hate that man for his cynisism and untold primitive contempt for the man, we, the conservatives, deem to be a national hero.
Therefore, while the need to commemorate The Gipper is as obvious for the Poles as the Sun in the sky, still, the man who unveiled this monument, imho, should not have been there in that place at that time.

Obama couldn’t bring himself to praise Reagan but only to see it as a link between the two countries?

Meanwhile, some of the idiots in Californistan quoted by the AP are whining that a recently vandalized Reagan statue is controversial and shouldn't be repaired.

"Hanna Beata Gronkiewicz-Waltz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈxanna ɡrɔnˈkʲevʲit͡ʂ ˈvalt͡s], born 4 November 1952 in Warsaw) is a Polish liberal-conservative politician who has been the Mayor of Warsaw since 2 December 2006. She is the first woman to ever hold this position."
A Polish liberal-conservative?
I suspected as much with the hyphenated name.
I hope the liberals stay the hell out of Poland!

Poland honors Reagan......Seattle honors Lenin.
The Statue of Reagan brings a tear to my eye. Actually they both do.....

I miss President Reagan. I am old enough to remember how horrible Carter was and he made us feel ashamed to be Americans and if I remember right, Carter remarked that it would be beneficial to us that our standard of living goes down !
And the current W.H. occupant goes and travels the world and badmouths this country now, more direct that what Carter did. And zero calls us American’s lazy. Maybe we don’t want to work hard since we get punished with more taxes !
