Get rid of that eyesore Auszwitz and put it there.

Yes let's just erase history to suit ourselves...

Whether the camp makes you feel uneasy or not, it's there, it tells a tale and it should stay.

Shove your missiles somewhere else, I'm sure I don't need to make suggestions.

Oh gosh is this going to turn into an argument about the missile defense. But yes in order to become an ambassador you have to do something really important for the president. Like give him money its how America works.

In some cases, correct, but this one is more because of his resume. He was in charge of security for Hillary Rodham during the campaign...

How about getting someone who knows something about Poland. The lack of Polish Americans in Obama's cabinet is shocking.
Arabs being tortured in Poland by the CIA is history. How about having a museum for that.

PS: If a Pole would had spend millions for Obama and now would show interest he would had had a good chance to get the ambassador post in Warsaw.

But Feinstein didn't spend millions.

That post in Warsaw is actually very affordable. Kids membership in a municipal hockey club will cost you more. Heck, some airlines will charge you more than $2300 for a plane ticket to Warsaw :)

How about getting someone who knows something about Poland.

Perhaps a Pole would be a better choice, or not, but the thing with ambassadors is that they are not supposed to be good for the country they are sent to but for the country that sends them.

If Shirley Temple could be a US ambassador anybody can be a US ambassador. Don't give me there were no Polish Americans qualified enough nonsense.

why can't Poland get a Polish American ambassador? Couldn't they give it to Brzezinski?

I think monkey man (pres.) is upset about two or more Polish politicians saying racist jokes about him, plus Polish Americans didn't really support him during his elections.

This is sentimental talk... It may stay but should be privatized, be aware that some taxpayers are less sentimental than you.

only from Serbians Poles could expect loyalty. Sarmatia is what Poles and Serbs need.

Y'know... my palm actually hit my face when I read this. Nice. That made my day.
I'm not bashing, btw. That was actually an excellent mood-lightener right there. Grats.

Also, I find it funny how people, especially 'other' people, love to talk about Poland's 'whining and playing the victim all the time', but when somebody mentions even touching a single square inch of Oświęcim, the tune turns to 'erasing history to suit ourselves', and 'it tells a tale and it should stay'.

Excuse me for suggesting as much, but if we're going to talk about 'putting the past behind and moving forward', and the like, accept no substitutions. Personally, I'm all for going for it all the way.

Well Poland goes from getting Bush's boyfriend, the homo Ashe, to Obama's Khazar Feinstein...Happy days for Poland...

Khazar Feinstein

I agree, SwedishPole. His being Jewish is merely incidental. Shimon Peres was a Polish Jew, what of it? Does that matter, Pol3?

Shimon Peres say: 'Israel is doing quite well financially...We buy up Hungary, Poland, Romania, Manhattan...'

Yes, Israelis are investing in our coutry, making it richer, more modern and better-developed with each year for which we should be thankful. Furthermore Peres, during his visit on the anniversary of Ghetto Uprising (I think it was then, I can't remember what occasion this was) said something along the lines of 'It's difficult to stand here, NOT BECAUSE OF YOU, but because of what happened here' which, from what I've read on the jewish news portals, was interpreted as a statement, that Poles are not to be blamed for Holocaust. It's surely a good sign.

This is kind a funny comment. This would be even better sign if somebody from Israeli establishment made a comment that could be interpreted in this way that Poles are not blamed for being bunch of disgusting paedophiles. :)
