Polish PM Won't Take Hillary's 3 AM Phone Call
You can be sure he would have picked up the phone for Bill, and he might even have picked up the phone for Hillary if he thought that she was willing to "channel" her husband and offer his view of the Obama administration decision, but when Hillary calls at 3 AM -- well, you unless you're married to her...
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed today that he declined last night to take a call from the U.S. informing him of the decision to scrap planned missile-defense bases in his country.
Two U.S.-based sources close to the Polish government said Thursday that Tusk also rejected a call from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- on the grounds that, as the head of the government, he should speak to the president.
"Hillary called – and the reason he turned it down was because of protocol," said a source.
Tusk, of course, denies that the Obama's capitualation is a defeat for his country. And what else can he say? But the fact that he turned down a call from both the secretary of state and the president last night tells the whole story -- the Poles aren't happy, and no one can say otherwise with a straight face (not even Tusk). Tusk did subsequently talk to Obama, but Hillary is still waiting for a call back. I'm sure he has your number Mrs. Secretary.

Who would take Hilary’s 3AM phone call? Not me either.
Any takers?
Donald Tusk has made it clear which way the wind is blowing.
At this rate the only allies we will have left by Christmas will be Alaska and Hawaii.
Hmmmm... I wonder why we keep hearing that US influence in the world is waning...
Could it be because under 0bama, we are no longer a reliable ally?
You betcha! (wink)
I think you can scratch Alaska off that list.
Sarah will have to charm their pants off in 2013. I know she’ll be up to the task.
I thought 0bama declared war on Alaska?
Why the hell is she calling at 3 AM anyway? Hell, I wouldn’t take a call from her anytime, but have a little social grace here... Oh wait, we’re talking Hillary.
The Poles ARE NOT HAPPY about this, especially coming on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Invasion of Poland.
Even Lech Walesa has commented on it!!!
Why is Obama deliberately wee wee’ing on our allies, and bowing to our enemies??
And an even BETTER question:
What do the Russians have in thier Obama file that the US media hasn’t even bothered to ask about, like his college record, or roommates?
what a gutsy guy! I love it.....didn’t theOne and only O say he was going to enhance our image abroad? and they won’t even take his phone calls you say? LMAO!
(oh, wait....on second thought what is there to laugh about?...
I guess going from bad leadership to no leadership is a step in the right direction?
This whole thing is Jimmy Carter all over again! Make nice to your enemies and shoot your friends!
“Donald Tusk has made it clear which way the wind is blowing.”
On behalf of the Polish people, FUBO.
That’s the message and a worthy one.
But, but, but: We have peace in our time!
And I wouldn’t count on Alaska. It may have to secede. :-)
“But, but, but: We have peace in our time!”
You know? I think I’ve heard that line before....
And I’m sure the Czechs felt just like Poland does now...
