Why Polish-Americans should vote for Mitt Romney

The relationship between the United States and Poland suffered substantially during the Obama Administration.  Right at the beginning, President Obama decided that in order to gain Russian cooperation in engineering sanctions against Iran, it was necessary to give a prize to Putin that he would value.  This prize was a free hand in Eastern Europe, amounting to subordination of the region to Russian dominance.  The first sign of this free hand was the resignation from the installation of an antimissile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, planned by President Bush.

Losy Prezydenckiego Medalu Wolności, jakim Barack Obama pośmiertnie uhonorował Jana Karskiego, przy okazji opowiadając o “polskich obozach śmierci”, układają się w opowieść epicką.

Aktywiści polonijni lobbujący za odznaczeniem nie dostrzegli potrzeby kontaktu z rodziną Jana Karskiego, podobnie też “zapomniał” o tym MSZ, a strona amerykańska o istnieniu rodziny w ogóle nie została powiadomiona.

Everett, Washington–  As a travel enthusiast, I have seen the world and marveled at observing man’s engineering accomplishments.  As a Polish-American aviation professional I was swelled with pride when seeing the giant LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 787 taxi.  This was near near the intersection of runway 16R-34L at Paine Field.  Paine Field and the Boeing taxiways are part of Snohomish County Airport.  It has a 9,000 foot runway, perfect for the jumbo jets.

WASHINGTON—In the rough-and-tumble of a town hall-style presidential debate, the facts took something of a beating Tuesday night.

Mitt Romney wrongly claimed that it took 14 days for President Barack Obama to brand the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya a terrorist act. Obama yet again claimed that ending the Afghanistan and Iraq wars makes money available to “rebuild America,” even though it doesn’t
