Obama's Black Hole

I think President Obama has a Black Hole in his brain, and sometimes he falls into it.
The latest fall was yesterday. President Obama referred to “Polish death camps” during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden to honor a Polish officer, Jan Karski, who was the first witness to alert the Allies about the World War II extermination camps built and operated by Germany in Poland.
Of course, there were no “Polish death camps.” Instead, during World War II, in occupied Poland, Germans killed 6 million Polish citizens, among them 3 million Polish Jews.
Polish Prime Minister David Tusk said that Obama’s faux pas shocked and hurt the Polish people. He said that to talk about “Polish death camps” is to negate the responsibility of Germany for the exterminations in German camps in Poland.
The Grand Rabi of Poland said that the Polish community of Jews is waiting for the President to personally correct his mistake.
Lech Walesa said that the error on the part of President Obama should serve to correct once and for all the use of the erroneous phrase “Polish death camps.”
Obama is not the only one to have misstated the facts. Between 2010 and 2012, 200 such errors have occurred and been corrected by the Polish government, in an effort to eliminate the phrase and to recall to the world the fact that Poland was one of the countries that suffered most under Germany’s occupation during WWII.
As for Obama’s Black Hole -- it seems to extend to his speech writers, or to whoever failed to adequately brief him before his speech.
