He's shrinking.
And here's proof. He looks about 2/3 the size of everyone else.
And he doesn't even get to sit in the big boy chair because his feet won't reach the floor.

Courage: Someone who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for actually doing something just snubbed someone who won it for nothing. But Lech Walesa's refusal to meet President Obama is also a cry to save Poland.
Lech Walesa, the former Polish president and heroic leader of the Solidarity trade union that helped liberate the entire Eastern European Soviet bloc from communist rule, has his moral courage indelibly engraved in the history books.
At 67, Walesa is a living legend with nothing left to have to prove.
But on Friday, Walesa once again answered the call to duty and announced he would not accept fellow Nobel Peace laureate President Obama's invitation to meet with him in Poland after the G-8 Summit in France.
The decision makes perfect sense, considering the obvious rationale behind Obama's Polish visit. Obama is meeting Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk not to help them defend their state against its obvious enemy: Russia under ex-KGB thug Vladimir Putin.
Nor is Obama holding his much-hyped conference with a dozen presidents of formerly communist states to find out how the U.S. can best help keep them from once again being bullied by Moscow.
No, Obama, the White House tells us, is meeting them for advice on how to turn the so-called Arab Spring into a Mideast version of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
That of course is the cover story
Close observers of this president for the two-plus years of his rule know he isn't interested in listening to the likes of Walesa, any more than he wants to hear the leaders of former Soviet satellite states explain how the low, flat tax rates they adopted in recent years led their nations to double-digit GDP growth.

Exactly.
0bama also specifically said, a few months back, “I am not King.” Not, “I am not a king.” There is a difference. The lack of that little article says a lot about the person who leaves it out. I thought at the time that I’d never heard an American say that. Maybe I’ve heard someone say, “
...the king/King.” Leaving out that little ‘a’ is important.
Oh my goodness, I need to correct that one!
It should be “at least we have people who have REAL GUTS!”
They give Obama too much credit. He’s not just inexperienced and inept. He’s deliberately trying to harm the United States by selling out our former allies. Obama hates the United States, and he’s using his term in office to try to destroy this country. Anyone with a brain can see that truth, and those who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves.
One of those few and far between leaders prior to Walesa being the second person to hand Obama his rear-end was of course Bibi was the first one.
LOL, but technically you could say “available in black AND WHITE.”
Meme of the day! He's shrinking.

Gonna make it my new tagline.
If this had happened to Bush, the press would be crowing about it for weeks. We would, once again, be hearing about how other leaders despise our President and everything he stands for. When Obama is snubbed and put in his place - involving both Poland and Israel - in just a matter of days all you hear by the MSM is deafening silence.
Only for weeks? They would have been crowing for month.
The muslim in the WH can’t do that.
“Isn’t it odd that the unions in Poland saw the evils of socialism and fought against it while the unions here fight against freedom and seek to help the government enslave us.”
What a phenomenal! quote! It would be a great tagline!
I would be careful using this fact against Obama. Walesa is a controversial person, also a very egocentric one... he probably didn’t attend the meeting because he was going to be one of many anti-communist leaders there, not the only one as he probably expected...
