PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister. Once again, I just want to thank you and the people of Poland for the extraordinary welcome that I’ve received since I arrived. And I have to tell you that my wife Michelle and the girls very much want to come back, because I’ve told them on the phone what a extraordinary country this is.And you’re right, in some ways I am part of Poland because I come from Chicago, and if you live in Chicago and you haven’t become a little bit Polish, then something’s wrong with you.You know, Poland is one of our strongest and closest allies in the world — and is a leader in a Europe. And I believe that Poland’s story demonstrates how a proud and determined and enthusiastic people can overcome extraordinary challenges and build a democracy that represents the great strength and character of this nation, while now serving as an example for Europe and the world.Source: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/28/remarks-president-obama-and-prime-minister-tusk-poland-joint-press-confe
Obama likes to throw a nation under the bus before telling them they are one of our strongest allies.
