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."

Let’s just say that I don’t think he has this nation’s best interests at heart. We’re headed for “change we can’t believe is really happening.”
Good luck with that “Global Great Society”, Gordon. You’ll soon see how the anti-Bush treats America’s allies.
It isn’t just that he lacks foreign policy experience.
He doesn’t seem concerned about the gravity of certain situations. I read elsewhere, for example, on FR that DESPITE ANYTHING THAT OCCURS IN THE ECONOMY, he’s moving ahead with his “community changes”.
You see, that’s his real agenda: to crack the spirit of America from one of freewheeling rambunctious individualism to a controlled, directed, collectivism. That’s his idea of the American Dream, which he will proceed to force on everyone else. If you have your own dream, that’s selfish. The only “real Americans” will be those carrying forward his dream.
He has the psychology of a tyrant. As an exercise in cultural alertness, FRiends, look for signs of this mentality in editorials, advertisements, cartoons, movies, etc.
Keep your eyes and ears open. He expects resistance and doesn’t want to resort to force immediately; he’d rather change hearts and minds. STAY ALERT.
I honest to God cannot read about Obama any longer. The next 4 years are going to be painful to watch.
Obama Polish issue, similar to 1939....
