BO shuns Poles then insults them

Obama's stupid "Polish death camps" remark has gotten some attention.  What hasn't gotten as much attention is that Obama refused the request of Polish officials that Lech Welesa receive the Medal of Freedom on behalf of Jan Karski.  The reason?  Welesa is 'too political'.

At the same ceremony, Obama gave a Medal of Freedom to a Socialist.:

Administration officials told the Journal that Walesa is too “political.” A man who was arrested by Soviet officials for dissenting against the government for being “political” is being shunned by the United States of America for the same reason 30 years later.

Meanwhile, one of the recipients of the Medal was Dolores Huerta, the honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. So socialist politics are acceptable, but not the politics of a man who stood up and fought socialism.
