President Barack Obama "misspoke" when he called a Nazi facility used to process Jews for execution as a "Polish death camp," a White House official told the news agency AFP.
The verbal gaffe came as the president was honoring to a famous Pole, Jan Karski, posthumously awarding him a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian award.
Karski was a resistance fighter who sneaked behind enemy lines to witness the atrocities being committed against Jews. Obama referred to him being smuggled "into the Warsaw ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself," ABC OTUS News reported.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, told AFP that the president "misspoke."
"He was referring to Nazi death camps in Poland," Vietor said in the article. "We regret this misstatement, which should not detract from the clear intention to honor Mr. Karski and those brave citizens who stood on the side of human dignity in the face of tyranny."

gee, ya think?
Perfect. The new I & I campaign slogan for the 0ne. He'll need a new logo though.
When Democrats lie, they “misspeak.” When they get caught cheating on their taxes, its an “oversight.” When they get caught with a 21 year old intern, it’s “The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” trying to bring them down. When they drunkenly plunge a car into a canal, save their own sorry butt while leaving a young woman to drown, they are lionized. When they fake injuries to receive sham purple hearts, get out of Vietnam after 4 months, then come home and backstab and slander American soldiers, they are hailed as a war hero. Besides, Obama should be familiar with Nazi death camps in Poland. He claims that his uncle (was he a corpseman?) helped liberate Auschwitz. Has he every read an actual history book? These people are despicable and must be defeated.
No, he didn’t. He, his wife, his administration are only capable of inciteful rhetoric and divisiveness. In truth, his administration is likely comprised of affirmative action beneficiaries where “trying” and account for race or ethnic group or political bent was enough to get an “A”.
They are a downright disgrace to this country, and they should have known better than to call the German Death Camps in Poland “Polish Death Camps”. A bunch of affirmative action imbeciles.
misspoke? ya think?
then again, biden did take the week off....
good to see 0failure covering for his running mate
You got some evidence that Obama’s ancestors were slave traders?
BTW, I don’t think it is appropriate for anyone to be expected to apologize for their ancestors.
I prefer “Imbeciles Excelling at Incompetence in the Field of Incompetence.”
Obama got tired of Biden getting all the attention for his stupid gaffes...so he decided to get in the competition to see who can win.
Imagine 90% of everyone you ever knew being killed.
This is what it was like for Polish Jews during WWII.
I think his ‘people’ put the wrong thing on the teleprompter.
...and that’s the problem - Obama and his advisors really are extremely unknowledgable in simple things. They are so ‘educated’, they don’t have time to learn simple things.
This allows them to believe the fantasy that marxism works...they literally don’t know any better.
These people dangerous, and dangerously not like us mere commoners.
Corpse Man comes to mind.
I would like to do a challenge with Obama, and his national security advisors - give them a deck of 10 enlisted ranks, and 10 officer ranks, and see if they can even put them in order. I’d bet the farm that none of them could. Its too mundane for them.
Good one, mandaladon/
With all the harm this loser is doing to the country, the last thing I think we should worry about is his calling a death camp in Poland a “polish death camp”
Libtards would GLADLY let us focus on the trivial (like this)
One more speech writer destined to go under the bus.
There is no “mis-speaking”. Every thing nobama does or says is intentional. Unfortunately, for America, nobama is intentionally undermining the country. An anti-American president...who would have thought????????????? The ghoul and his minions belong in Leavenwoted (or, at least, deported).
dammit- now you just made me hungry
mmmmMMMmmm...... some nice polish sausage boiled slowly for hours in sauerkraut with a little caroway seed mmmmmmmmmMMMmmmmm
(and even better if left to sit overnight then reheated before eating)
I can understand some mispeaking - I think way too often it’s a game of “gotcha”. But this was a teleprompter, someone should have caught it.
The reason I think there is so much indignation in Poland is that O has been disrespecting them since day one. Papers there were headlining “Stabbed in the back” since 2010.
People who think Obama is loved overseas are only looking at tyrannical countries like Venezuela or far left socialist countries, or black or Muslim countries. Countries like Israel, Poland and England think he’s a jerk. He doesn’t care about them and they are well aware if it.
