I have to say this was the first time I was actually impressed with our "esteemed" president he actually has the guts to say the truth that Poland shares guilt with the Nazi's for the Holocaust. of course he had to ruin it by apologizing.

here are some comments on Jewish websites (where over 90% of the jews are going to vote against Obama) on Obama's supposed gaffe. I wonder if this was just a ploy to get the Jewish vote.

Quote:
both of my Bubbie’s have independently told me “The Poles were worse than the Germans.”

Quote:
Poles are just as guilty as the Germans. My Grandfather used to tell me that the Lithuanians, Poles, Cheks, Poles, etc, were worse than any Nazi.



Quote:
Obama for once is actually right. The Poles were as bad to the Jews as the Nazis or even worse.

Quote:
Many of the Poles heartly partook in the work of the Nazis YM”S. While they are technically correct that their country was overrun & controlled by the nazis many of the Polish people were far from innocent bystanders.

Quote:
Who are the Polls, Yimach Shimo Vizichro, fooling?! They are/were the worst AntiSemites out there. They turned on their Jewish neighbors & snitched on their hideouts! They beat the Jews with the worst viciousness! Don’t let the pollaks rewrite History!

Quote:
Yes, it's quite a gaffe. One that's been in circulation since WWII for a good reason. While plenty of Poles helped and protected Jews and other Nazi victims, millions of Poles were blatantly complicit with the Nazis and were happy to see Jews tortured and killed.

Oh, for God's sake, people... He mis-spoke. No more often and no worse than any other President in history - or any human, for that matter. Everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over a trivial mistake. He meant no offense and apologized for the error. This is trivial. Just get over it and move on.

Yep, apparently, there were many hate related attacks on Jews by the poles during and after the war.

Jan T. Gross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History has shifted responsibility for many of them back to the Nazis but the poles were acting on their own hate and "blood libel" rumors.

Actually President Obama is the commander-in-chief not a boy! If I were him I wouldn’t have apologized at all. They’ll get over it just like the rest of the retards who don’t like seeing a black man as their boss…

Now why did you have to go and bring RACE into this. Has nothing to do with the color of his skin. Not like he writes his own speeches..his speechwriters need some history lessons.

I didn’t bring race into it. Classifying a grown black man as a boy has racial undertones in itself. And in doing that those making the classification know exactly what reaction they will receive. I call it how I see it.

Calling a grown man a boy is nearly as insulting as calling a Pole a Nazi.

Starting to get it? Or is race your only card?

Ok Yeledaf, race is my only card. You have me all figured out.

Obama didn’t call Poles Nazis. He called Nazi death camps on Polish soil Polish death camps by mistake. And I didn’t play any race card (witch in my opinion doesn’t exist) I merely pointed out black grown men aren’t boys. You can get butt hurt over that fact or you can deal with it like a grown up…
