Obama is awful, but he did this one right, once he made this mistake.
Not easy to go against the general run of opinion here. I had gone to old friend Wikipedia on the subject of such a designation. It does seem that the term "Polish concentration camps" was in use far too many times. This was by persons not connected with the president.
Moves were already made to inform persons well before the president made this reference. Spokespersons with authority had already tried to educate people about this term and the grief it caused Poland. We learn that the award given to persons who risked their lives to save Jews, is the highest given to citizens of Poland. This being over 6000 awards.
I know that the President of the United States has caused much apprehension about just who he is. I have read "Dreams From My Father" and do feel some disquiet. Just that I feel that he has slipped up somewhat. I truly believe that it was just a slip. I hope that a "Quayle moment" is not to be visited on the president.
Oh well, back to the birther threads (chuckle).
True, but it does help that I am a battle-tested grizzled FR veteran.
As far as what truly motivates Obama, the disquiet you felt upon reading Dreams of My Father are best explored by reading Dinesh D'Sousa's essays.
Dinesh is perhaps the best analyst of Obama I have ever read.
