Outrage in Poland over Obama's 'Polish Death Camp' comment

Rick Moran  "It's so nice to have a president who's smart, don't you think? I mean, Obama can pronounce "nuclear" correctly, although the word kind of sticks in his throat when mentioning it in the same breath as Iran or North Korea.
"But there's "smart" like Obama, and then there's "smart" like, well, the rest of us. Obama's gaffetastic appearances lately makes one wonder if we should redefine the idea of intellectual acuity and place the president in a separate category."

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

"And with that, I’ve managed more of an apology than the White House could muster. Instead of a personal apology, Obama sent out a lowly NSC spokesman to say, “The president was referring to Nazi death camps operated in Poland. The president has demonstrated in word and deed his rock-solid commitment to our close alliance with Poland.” 
"Well isn’t that just dandy. The president himself said about the stupidest, most offensive thing imaginable to an entire people. And by way of apology, SCoaMF had someone nobody has ever heard of explain that of course Teh Won didn’t really make a mistake. He’s the smartest man in the room, don’t you know." Stephen Green


Obama Shrugs Off Poland’s Demand He Apologize For Referring to Nazi Death Camps As Polish…

" “I am convinced that our American friends can today allow themselves a stronger reaction than a simple expression of regret from the White House spokesman — a reaction more inclined to eliminate once and for all these kinds of errors,” Tusk told reporters in Warsaw.
"“Today, this is a problem for the reputation of the United States,” the prime minister said."....
