Default President Obama Shuns Lech Walesa

President Obama Shuns Lech Walesa - Rory Cooper - National Review Online

Quote:
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.

Administration officials told the Journal that Walesa is too “political.” A man who was arrested by Soviet officials for dissenting against the government for being “political” is being shunned by the United States of America for the same reason 30 years later.


Then of course at the ceremony to honor Karski he insult Karski and the rest of Poland.


These people are unbelievable.

But there's this from an equally-biased Obama-hater from the Telegraph (both stories dated June 1) :

Lech Walesa cold shoulders Obama: the US president is clearly no Reagan

It has been announced that Walesa has decided not to meet with Barack Obama during the president’s visit to Poland. He has declined an invitation to join a group of Polish leaders in Warsaw tomorrow who will greet the president. Walesa is reportedly traveling to Italy for a biblical festival instead, and told Poland’s TVN24:

"It's difficult to tell journalists what you'd like to say to the president of a superpower. This time I won't tell him, I won't meet him, it doesn't suit me."


http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/ni...rly-no-reagan/

So which one's the truth? Better question is who, besides you and your usual cast of circle-jerkers- gives a rat's arse?

The story your link refers to is from 2011, it is 2012 currently.

I know that! I never said it was from this June 1!

Good catch and my bad. But the story is the same. Just that if I was Obama, why would I want to meet with someone who snubbed me by refusing to meet with me one year earlier? Screw you old man! I'm the freaking President of the United States! What have you been up to?

Again...who gives a rat's arse?

Therefore, Walesa defined the relationship first.

Hey Walesa, respect is a two way street.

The Polish government made the request, not Wales. Pettiness doesn't have a place in formal government iteractions. Then again Obama was playing golf instead of attending the fuernals of the Polish Pm and officals who died in the plane crash in Russia.
