I’ve met second generation Polish-Americans from Chicago who came to Warsaw for intensive Polish courses. What was funny was that I could pronounce polish better than they could :-P

By this time in Bushes first term there must have been 50 books written about his gaffs. Has anyone seen even one about the zero?

Well, I just reported 6 gaffes that were woppers if a conservative Repub had ever said them. In 0dumb0's case, he gets an immediate pass by the lame brain media, and the so-called late night comedians (like the a_hole Letterman) claim that there just isn't funny stuff to report about 0dumb0! Are they kidding? 0dumb0sh_t's entire life is nothing but one gaffe, screw-up, FUB0, one after another but the socialist/partisan media won't report any of 0dumb0's fubars.

HOW TO IMPRESS THE GIRLS

Barack Obama was walking along the beach on the French Riviera last summer. As usual, his wife and children were vacationing somewhere else.

There are many beautiful women lying in the sun, and he really wants to meet one in order to find out ... if he really liked women.

But try as he might, the women don’t seem to be at all interested. Finally, as a last resort, he walks up to President Sarkozy lying on the beach and surrounded by adoring women.

“Excuse me,” he says, taking him aside, “but I’ve been trying to meet one of those women for about an hour now, and I just can’t seem to get anywhere with them. You’re French. You know these women. What do they want?”

“Maybee I can help a leetle beet,” he replies. “What you do ees you go to zee store. You buy a leetle bikini sweeming suit. You walk up and down zee beach. You meet girl very qweekly zees way.”

“Wow! Thanks!” and off he goes to the store. He buys a skimpy red bathing suit, puts it on, and goes back to the beach. He parades up and down the beach but still has no luck with the ladies. So he goes back to Sarkozy.

“I’m sorry to bother you again,” he says, “but I went to the store, I got a swimsuit, and I still haven’t been able to meet a girl.”

“Okay, I tell you what you do. You go to zee store. You buy potato. You put potato in sweeming suit and walk up and down zee beach. You will meet girl very, very qweekly zees way.”

“Thanks!” says Barry, and runs off to the store. He buys the potato, puts it in the swimsuit, and marches up and down the beach. Up and down, up and down he walks, but the women will hardly even look at him.

After half an hour he can’t take it anymore and goes back to his host. “Look,” he says, “I got the suit, I put the potato in it, and I walked up and down the beach, and still nothing! What more can I do?”

“Well,” says Sarkozy, “maybe I can help you a leetle beet. Why don’t you try moving zee potato to the front of zee sweeming suit?”

“On Sept 30, 1939, Poland invaded Germany, or something like that.

Was that before or after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

I think that came after George Bush invaded Cambodia to get at Big Cambodian Oil. Had someting to do with the Koch brothers, according to my lib as hell brother in law.

Don't forget that President Nixon sent troops into Cambodia in 1968 as part of his "secret war." John Kerry was part of this expedition when he spent Christmas in Cambodia in 1968.

Not only were you fools for thinking that I would provide you a missile shield from the guy that I will have more flexibility with come November, I’m going to embarrass you in front of the world for trusting me in the first place.

Remember this Obama quote:
"I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps, and the story in my family is that when he came home, he just went into the attic, and he didn't leave the house for six months. All right? Now, obviously something had affected him deeply, but at the time, there just weren't the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain."
If he took part in the liberation of Auschwitz, Obama's uncle must have served in the First Ukrainian Front (army group) commanded by Ivan S. Konev. After Auschwitz, he probably saw a lot more action and likely took part in the siege of Breslau, the Battle of Berlin, or the attack on Dresden in the closing days of the war.

He’s playing both sides again - the Russians, the Muslim Brotherhood who started as Hitler’s Muslim SS troops, and of course, our allies in Europe, specifically the Eastern European nations which Putin REALLY wants back. This definitely wasn’t a mistake...

Look at the non-apology apologies. Look how all of this has overshadowed commemorating the courage and faith of the people of Poland who were persecuted during WWII and after by the Soviets.

Those are the only reasons I can think of - his words ARE chosen specifically, and he could say the Poles are being unfair, it was a misstatement after all. I don’t think it’s any mistake given the attacks upon the church here in the US, and the large contingency of Polish people here. I believe he is trying to be intimidating... Obama really is clueless if he thinks Polish people will simply lie down and take it.

[I should stop writing about this tonight as it REALLY ticks me off, and being in a reactionary mood isn’t the best place to come from as it leads one to say generalized things that will turn others off from the truth of the matter at hand...]

Another just think if Reagan, Bush, Palin, Quayle had said this.

Heh, my first thought was "what if George W. Bush, or Sarah Palin had said this"? The MSM would have been all over them like white on rice, and we'd be hearing about it for weeks.

What do you mean he hasn’t got a rudimentary sense of history? He knows how to be rude, he knows what he meant, and he cares ‘ary a bit.

Poles in Chicago can be essentially ignored by a Democrat. They’re on the plantation. It’s as if they never were under communist rule or perhaps Cook County is so much like communist Poland they just cannot tell the difference.

The Poles are doing the right thing. A wrong needs to be corrected.

Very little in politics is done by accident. Why would the Obama team intend to insult the Poles in this manner?

Perhaps insulting the Poles sends a message to someone else.

Or perhaps Obama was sabotaged by his speech writers or someone else...or perhaps his staff has such low moral and energy it is becoming error prone.

Hilarious.
Incidentally, I heard they spoke Austrian at those Polish death camps.

Well, he just lost the Polish vote. (lol) However, Chicago suburbs are very highly populated with descendants of Polish immigrants. Lots of Poles in IL. Shame it won’t make any difference.
