“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Self-Proclaimed Foreign Policy Expert Demonstrates Expertness

I posted about Obama's brain, er, misfire, during a ceremony in Poland a few days ago. One would think that even Obama would apologize for using the phrase "Polish death camps".

Nope. He hasn't, and Obambi is taking a major beating for it in the process:
The Prime Minister [of Poland] referred to the speech of US President Barack Obama, who used the phrase “Polish death camp” during the Tuesday ceremony of awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski. - We expect that America, in connection with this very statement, will join our efforts and help us eradicate such false and unjust phrases once and for all - said the head of the government.

- We always react in the same way to ignorance, lack of knowledge and ill will which lead to the distortion of history. Such phrases are especially painful for Poland - Europe’s most affected country by World War II - underlined Donald Tusk.
And the complaints aren't just from the Poles -- even his supporters are upset about this, as reported by Hot Air.  A nice job of rebuilding America's image to the world, President Obama.

A hat tip to Hot Air for this update.
