Yes, you read that right. The President snubs a true hero, someone who actually earned the Nobel Peace Prize. He just risked his life standing up to Breshnev and the rest of the Kremlin is all. Not just his life but the lives of his family, friends, and anyone else whoever said hello to him.
The Polish government wanted Mr. Walesa to receive a Medal of Freedom on behalf of Jan Karski. Who was Jan Karski? He just snuck into a death camp and the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942 and then personally warned FDR about the Holocaust (to no avail as no one really believed him.). Matthew Kaminski writes in the Wall Street Journal:
"The mood soured a bit before Tuesday's award ceremony. The Poles wanted Lech Walesa to receive the medal on Karski's behalf, but the White House nixed the choice. Last year, during Mr. Obama's visit to Poland, the hero of Solidarity refused to attend a large gathering to meet the younger leader. Mr. Walesa felt entitled to a tete-a-tete. Administration officials told Polish journalists that Mr. Walesa's presence was too "political" for this week's occasion. Poles read something else into it: Mr. Obama holds grudges. The counter-snub was the talk of Poland last week." Column
I never thought I would see an American president do something like this. Despicable.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

He acts like a petulant child. I am not surprised.
if someone just handed me the Nobel peace prize for doing nothing and then had to meet a real winner of it....i wouldnt want to be around him either!
Make's one wonder if the "Polish Death Camp" remark was a mistake, or an example of how many times
can I piss-off the Polish people in one speech.
Maybe he's mad because he stood up to socialism and Obama worships it.
He's snubbed just about everybody except socialist dictators, princes, marxists, potheads, neighborhood agitators and Allah.
Well said, Ironghost! Oh, my, the sooner we oust that strange, evil man from office, the better.
Lech Walesa snubbed The President of the United States .
Whether you dislike the President or not, he is the President. The President is the elected representative of our Nation and the people who didn't vote for a President need to remember that or over time, you will reap what you so and diminish the respect for the office.
This was no different that refusing to meet the Queen of England.
The refusal is an insult, not to the person, but to the Nation represented.
"I never thought I would see an American president do something like this. Despicable."
Really? Bush created a WMD scare (falsely) to invade Iraq and cost thousands of American lives and tens of thousands of wounded Americans and you think Obama's "snub" was "despicable"?
Actually he did not. He requested a personal meeting with the President when he visited Poland. Apparently the President didn't think he merited such and treated it as a snub, apparently his ego sees it that way as do his sycophants.
Last year Walesa refuse to attend a gathering to meet the sitting President of the United States.
In diplomatic circles, unless Walesa was at death's door, that's a snub.
I don't think much of the King of Saudi Arabia, but we have diplomatic relations with his country and if I was on the guest list, I'd show the hell up for my country...NOT for him. Because I'm not such an ass that I think my feelings and opinions are important enough to breech centuries of protocol.
The tide of Zionist financial incentive must have risen high, to have driven this rat out of hiding .. witness the deluge of publicity, from the same Zionist owned media machine that decries 911 truth, that accompanied his elevation from Zero to Hero!
He was an electrician in a Polish shipyard, who received massive media attention, after he organized a strike, on behalf of a list of grievances against the Polish government of the day, then in the hands of a Zionist sponsored hireling,
Who had deserted his post in the military to dabble in politics, similarly at the behest of Zionist coin .. A Polish Jew was Pope, and Lech Walesa made political speeches under an icon of the Virgin Mary, while abortion decimated the Polish European population over and again,
And the Polish national resource became the property of foreigners .. It appears to trouble Lech Walesa not at all, that the 911 attacks were the work of Jews, and that unjust war has been sustained against everyone else, on behalf of the same Jews ever since!
martin!
i think i just saw a jew in the bushes in your back yard!!
