CHICAGO | President-elect Barack Obama's private conversation with Poland's president created an international disagreement Saturday, with President Lech Kaczynski saying Mr. Obama promised to continue a missile-defense system and the transition office saying the Democrat made no such commitment.
President Bush's White House declined to weigh in on the Friday phone call between the Polish leader and Mr. Obama, who will take office Jan. 20.
Mr. Obama has spoken with at least 15 world leaders including Mr. Kaczynski and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Mr. Kaczynski issued a statement in the Polish-language section of his Web site saying the U.S. president-elect "emphasized the importance of the strategic partnership of Poland and the United States and expressed hope in the continuation of political and military cooperation between our countries. He also said that the missile-defense project would continue."

I'll bet you have a lot of those chips to hand out. I stand by my comments about your understanging of the English Language. (You obvioulsy understand more Russian than I do.)

The Kenyan Clown is our ticket back!
The proper thing would have been for Obama to keep his yap shut until he's in office and has the authority to make assurances, whatever they might be.
First, I think GW Bush is a great man.
Second... all of this was an attempt to pander the Left to secure votes and power. It didn't work. It never works with the Left. They only advance. They never compromise and they NEVER give up. Republicans who think they can pander to the Left and keep power are idiots and should be removed from leadership.
Bush basically p*ssed Reagan's legacy down the drain during his presidency. McCain Feingold was a disaster. The drug program will surely destroy the American dollar (along with other increased entitlements. And Public education has created the voter base that now believes Marxism is a viable option! Shameful! Never again will I vote for a moderate.
he wouldn’t tell one person one thing and then another person something else, that would be dishonest ....
not the Obama we know and love ... nawwwwww.................
EU is more of a pushover than Eastern Europe. Great Britain will be isolated once again.
Thought he just talked to him yesterday. . .-and that Obama was his usual, contradictory self.
Too bad for us; and won't be long, before we see, very nervous Europeans.
Oh please!
Has everyone lost their ability to reason here at FR?
Obama was called by this fool Kaczynski who then chose to comment upon the conversation they had. If Obama didn't say what Kaczynski quoted him as saying, then it would not be unreasonable for Obama to go on record saying that he had been misquoted.
Being the grandson of a woman who understood what was going on in Germany and scouted out the US in 1936, I am probably more attuned to what is going on here than most, but there will be a time and place to be alarmed about Obama's words and deeds. Maybe his "Office of the President-elect" is a place to start? But this flap with the foolish Kaczynski is not it.

And it has started, He will throw all the new democratic governments under the bus in order to appease Russia, Iran and Venezuela. Our enemies will consider themselves friends aand our friends will feel betrayed.
After his Nancy Reagan joke, I wonder if the Obama shared any good Polish jokes with President Lech Kaczynski.
Thinkn they will be nervous; in time. . .
Yup. Take consolation in the preordained fact that Utopia will not be achieved. Obama/Biden could set us up for a huge revival.

Yeah and if I dangled from a bridge over a canyon by one spindly rope around my right ankle I could set myself up to be rescued! I don’t think I will do it though.

In 2010 they will still be blaming everything on Bush and the zombies will still vote democrat!
I think Bush will do everything he can to help Obama transition in (no "zero" keys removed from keyboards,) and then Bush will go to Crawford and cut cedar, decline interviews and not write books for a while.
God bless him, our 7 years without duct tape and terror fears are coming to an end.
Obama talking out both sides of his mouth again.
Note to all: Have a tape recorder running when you talk to this clown.
Palin warned everyone about Obama being two-faced. If I did’nt have to live thru this mess it would be funny.
From the article “President Bush’s White House declined to weigh in on the Friday phone call between the Polish leader and Mr. Obama, who will take office Jan. 20.”
Why would President Bush even want or need to get involved?
The leaders of foreign countries that gushed over “The One” will very soon know what a sack of s—t he is.
For which side?
