Obama proves his foreign policy credentials

When Obama was elected, back in '08, among other things, he was supposed to change how the world looked at America.

Good times, good times.

President Obama Causes Outrage with Reference to ‘Polish Death Camp’

Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.

“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted.  Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.”

The president had been trying to honor a famous Pole, awarding a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, a resistance fighter who sneaked behind enemy lines to bear witness to the atrocities being committed against Jews. President Obama referred to him being smuggled “into the Warsaw ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself.”

There's more at the link, including a lot of back pedaling and spinning by the White House.

At least no one is trying to blame TOTUS for this mistake.
