You may be on to something! Maybe not as earthshaking as “Flip your bippy” or “Where’s the Beef” but you never know.

How many Obamas does it take to change a light bulb?

One, but the bulb had better not ber a typical white light bulb.

“Deciding, as an individual citizen, to write a letter to the Polish ambassador expressing solidarity with them strikes me as an honest and straightforward response to events. In fact, I think he’s inspired me to do the same.”

I love it, we can go on a world wide Apologize for Obama Tour!

Although I appreciate the sentiment Mrs. Whatsit, I was one of those roundly criticizing those “I’m sorry” type sites at the time (and I think rightly so) and therefore I couldn’t in good conscience say I think it’s a good idea now. As tempting as it might be. I would be a hypocrite and lacking any philosophical consistency. Having said that, I totally applaud what Dane did. Deciding, as an individual citizen, to write a letter to the Polish ambassador expressing solidarity with them strikes me as an honest and straightforward response to events. In fact, I think he’s inspired me to do the same.

I’m going to copy and post a letter an online acquaintance got; she lives in Northern NJ.
*I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Including his political opponents who are his fellow citizens, like us.

a DEFINITE pattern.

Are parents allowed to attend school with their children to listen to the speech? Is this more than just creepy?

This has evoked the “mama-bear” instinct in my formerly politically uninvolved wife. We’re keeping the kid home and she wants to find conservative groups to join.

She is pissed off.

I don’t wear glasses, and I don’t bite my fingernails (actually, I’m not sure hers are bitten, but her manicure is kinda funky).

Good try, though.

LOL

I just sent this message to the Polish Ambassador to the US

Mr Ambassador Kupiecki,

I would like to extend my support to you and all the brave descendants who stood
bravely against the overwhelming odds on September 1, 1939 and all the years that followed during the war.

I sincerely apologize that the president of my country, Barack Obama, did not seem to feel the recognition of those great efforts warranted his presence (or even that of the vice president or secretary of state) at your ceremony of commemoration yesterday – September 1, 2009. 

Over the years Poland has been one of our staunchest allies both in the struggle against totalitarianism and in this new struggle against terrorism.  When Solidarity arose in Poland the American president and the American people cheered your countrymen on and voiced our support to the rest of the world.  I am ashamed for the current leaders of my country but I want you to know  there are many, many millions in this country who are grateful to you and your countrymen for standing beside the United States in these difficult times and appreciate the sacrifice of your brave soldiers who stand arm in arm with ours in the battle against terrorism.

Poland has a long history, but its rebirth, like the birth of my country, began in the hearts and minds of brave people.  Brave people who believed that freedom and the right to choose one’s own destiny is an inherent right – and worthy of the ultimate sacrifice.

So on behalf of my country and millions of my countrymen I wish to send my heartfelt thanks for all you have done for the cause of freedom in the world.

the email address of the Embassy is below if anyone else feels the need.
