Apologist-In-Chief Finally Refuses To Apologize

obama has spent the first three years of his administration apologizing to just about anyone who would listen. In less than 100 days, he has apologized on three continents for what he views as the sins of America and his predecessors.

Unfortunately, when it comes to a situation that truly deserves an apology, barry all of a sudden grows a backbone and refuses.

While obama was handing out Medals of Freedom last week to socialists and liberal entertainers and authors, he managed to insult the nation of Poland by referring to "Polish death camps." The Poles are particularly sensitive to this because it "suggests that Poles were complicit in Nazi concentration camps, which of course is not the case. In fact, Poles were exterminated in the camps.

The White House’s flippant response to the uproar caused the Polish president and prime minister to demand more thoughtful and personal reactions. But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that the president has no plans to reach out to his Polish counterparts and has shrugged off the outrage in Poland.

Arrogance, flippancy, historical ignorance ... all hallmarks of the obama administration.

Adding insult to injury, we recently learned this:

One of the medal recipients was Jan Karski, a member of the Polish underground during WWII.

Karski is deceased, so the Polish government requested that Lech Walesa accept the Medal on Karski's behalf. Walesa, an electrician by trade with no other formal education...

... led one of the most profound freedom movements of the 20th century — Solidarity. He became president of Poland and swept in reforms, pushing the Soviet Union out of his homeland and moving the country toward a free-market economy and individual liberty.

In 1983 Walesa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (back when it was awarded for actually accomplishing something, not just for 'potential').

Sounds like a worthy stand-in for Karski, right?

Not according to obama, who said Walesa was "too political."

Of course, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Walesa has been critical of the path America has taken since obama occupied the White House. barry wouldn't be that petty ... would he?

The likelihood is that President Obama didn’t want Walesa in the White House because Walesa has made critical remarks toward the president’s policies and in 2010 warned that the United States was slipping toward socialism.

Keep in mind that one of the other recipients was Dolores Huerta, honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. She's also a fan of Hugo Chavez. Evidently a Chavez-loving socialist isn't "too political," but a freedom-loving anti-communist is.

November cannot get here fast enough...
