That’s probably not enough to make a BIG difference in the Election, unless it’s real close in a State with a significant Polish population.

Yes, but while it may just be Poles who are "pissed off" the coverage of this will reinforce the idea that is settling upon many millions of voters that this guy is far, far out of his league in this office. The idea that Obama is just too stupid to be a national leader will gain even more adherents from such a bone-headed blunder. Dan Quayle's gaff is tiny tomatoes compared the abject stupidity that Obama displays here (and just about everywhere these days).

To: Scott from the Left Coast; All

In the 1976 Debate with Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford made a HUGE blunder when he said that Poland was not part of the Eastern Europen bloc nations under Soviet influence (not an exact quote). It is believed to this day that that was what cost him the Election; moreso than his pardon of Richard Nixon. It’s still talked about today. I wonder how many FReepers here remember that.

Wouldn’t it be great if Romney could find a way to hang this gaffe around Obama’s neck in a Debate?
