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."

World leaders and allies take note. Hussein is a liar.

Isn’t it great with a president (elect) with absolutely no executive and foreign policy experience?

Look forward to much more of this.

I’d like to think that “the one” is just an amateur, but I fear that we underestimate him at our own peril. He’s on a mission...

[mlocher]

Is this is the International Crisis that Biden warned us about?

[tiredoflaundry]

This is how *O* always works, says one thing to your face, and then turns around and does the opposite.

We are going to be the laughingstock of the world when Obambi takes over. Can’t wait to see what happens when someone kicks sand in pussy boy’s face. Who’s he going to go whine too? The newspapers? What are they going to do? Tell the world to leave our Messiah alone? I get more disgusted every day.

And watch Bush quitely disappear and not undermine Obama’s Presidency (like he'll need any help...). Unlike past Democrat Presidents that take every opportunity to undermine a Republican President. The low life Democrats don't know what respect and honor of the office means.

Poland’s President got the message loud and clear. “You are on your own”.

Something got lost in translation. President Lech Kaczynski said Obama had big ears and a pea brain.

[tuckrdout]

Ya know, we use to have a Mr. Kaczynski in our neighborhood....he was such a quiet man, never said much, kept to himself. Lived in a cabin in the woods....

I don’t think you want to cross a Kaczynski.

Obama’s message to Poland: We’re cozying up to the Bear now. You’re toast.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Goodbye E. Europe.

[Enterprise]

If nothing else, Obama will deliver the 2nd term of Jimmuh Carter as promised. Only Obama’s foreign policy disasters will come early and be more numerous.

“Something got lost in translation. President Lech Kaczynski said Obama had big ears and a pea brain.”

ROFL!!!

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

This is a Joke right?

This can not be true! nOmbama is the worlds first president, world leaders are rejoicing, I know because I saw it on CNNMSNBCCBSABC AND READ IT IN THE N.Y. Times

[ScottinVA]

Oh, please!! Supporting freedom and self-determination — That’s so ‘80s! /s

The way people have set Obama up as a messiah, have also set him up for a HUGE fall....
The Christians who voted for him who didn’t think he would REALLY change abortion laws.
The moderates who didn’t expect him to weaken our national defense.
The Jews who didn’t think he would abandon Israel.
The non-politicos who have no idea who William Ayers is, and what he stands for....
I will sit back and watch them become disappointed, time after time.
I just pray that our country isn’t damaged too much, in the process.
