Obama doesn't hesitate to apologize for what he views as America's sins.
He's trotted around the world apologizing and trashing our country.
On foreign soil, Obama said "there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."
Obama bows before foreign leaders. He does it so much it almost can be considered a hobby.
He loves to diminish America's stature in the world, seeking opportunities to apologize for America.
Yet for some reason, Obama is being incredibly stubborn when it comes to apologizing for his high-profile insult to the people of Poland.
He refuses to address the matter.
From the Yahoo News:
Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski said Wednesday he had written a personal letter to President Barack Obama urging him to do more to correct the record after Obama referred to "a Polish death camp" in a White House ceremony on Tuesday.
"I hope we will jointly act to make up for this unfortunate mistake. I believe that every error, every mistake can be corrected if it is given adequate consideration," Komorowski said in remarks posted on his official website.
...The phrase shocked Polish leaders and echoed across media in Poland, where the remark was seen as suggesting that Poles — not Nazis — carried out the genocidal policies of Adolf Hitler. Obama's past comments all-but-certainly refute that interpretation, and the White House has said he merely "misspoke."
"He was referring to Nazi death camps in German-occupied Poland," Obama's press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing on Wednesday.
"And as we've made clear, we regret the misstatement and that simple misstatement should not at all detract from the clear intention to honor Mr. Karski, and beyond that, all those brave Polish citizens who stood on the side of human dignity in the face of tyranny," Carney said.
Asked whether Obama had plans to reach out to Polish leaders, Carney demurred.
Obama, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE, can't bring himself to provide a personal apology.
Why?
Clearly, Polish leaders are not satisfied with the White House statement that Obama "misspoke."
That's understandable.
Obama has shown "arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."
What is his problem?
His stubbornness is out of line.
Why is Obama dismissing the concerns of the Polish people?
Not cool, Obama. Not cool.
