But historically speaking, the Nazi death camp Auschwitz, was built by the Nazis over the site of the Polish village of Osweicim. It's not a "Polish" death camp--but it was in Poland. I'm actually surprised the WH Protocol Office didn't pick this one up. |

Considering how anti-Semitic Poland has always been* it might as well be called that.*With the exception of a small minority of rightous and brave individuals

It's increasingly apparent we put someone in the White House that was in no way prepared or qualified to be President. For the love of God (or science) he has to be removed. |

Did he not immediately realize the glaring mistake and correct it on the fly? Is he so dumb that he can't ad-lib over a glaring historical inaccuracy? If he gave a speech at Pearl Harbor which contained the term "When the Germans bombed", would he just read it without flinching?George W Bush is a Rhodes scholar compared to this man. |

That's a dumb speaking error and should have been caught. I'm not sure I would have caught it on the fly either but hope I would have. I'll call him truly incompetent when he commits an Iraq size blunder or allows 2 skyscrapers to fall in NY like his predecessor did. Until then, this is a dumb speaking blunder and you guys are sweating the small stuff.your pal, Fred |

Yeah, maybe I might have given a shit about either of those stories if they phone wasn't ringing all day from all the computer security magazines asking for my analysis of that stupid "Flame" worm making the rounds. Published my own byline on Infosecisland.com and will be all over the big computer news sites tomorrow. Seems the media got this story incredibly wrong, so had to find and writeup a crapload of proff.It's nice working with journos that actually WANT to get a story straight unlike this shit ... :) |

From what I've read, I don't think they're all that fond of him anymore. But not only did he invite Trump to this shindig, he was quoting him. Last time around, the GOP only had the second banana providing the goofy. It's the main event this time around. :) |

When President Reagan outraged millions of Jews all over the world when he visited the German military cemetery at Bitburg on the 40th anniversary of V-E Day, that was an even bigger misstep than the one you're ascribing to Obama. My point is, politicians in both parties make errors like this from time to time, but this in no way means Obama is "incompetent", or "must be removed". |

Meanwhile, Romney calls for providing arms to Al Qaeda and you and Olog say nothing.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/30/world/middleeast/romney-condemns-obamas-syria-policy.html PS. I realize Romney doesn't mean what he said. He's just distorting his actual views for political advantage. So I'm not afraid that if he became President he actually would send arms to Al Qaeda. |

I've seen a scientist who never spoke a word of Polish in his life referred to as a Polish scientist because he grew up in what is now Poland.There actually is a sort of political correctness that refers to everything in what is now Poland as Polish.

A lot of liberals believe that Bush let those planes hit their targets in order to justify an invasion of Iraq. I would say that most truthers vote against Republicans.Nothing wrong with wanting to know the truth. WTC was attacked in 1993 and we knew they weren't done. We did nothing to stop 9/11 from happening. Bush was happy because he got what he wanted in the end. |
