For the Obama campaign, is the best defense a pathetic offense? And who is he offending today?

President Obama- who has been carefully shielded by the liberal media from his repeated and habitual gaffes a great deal more substantial and damaging than any verbal knots George W. Bush ever tied himself in- has done it again.

Ironically, POTUS was in the middle of awarding a posthumous medal to a member of the World War II Polish resistence when he referred to "a Polish death camp." Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted that the remark was "a matter of ignorance and incompetence." Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reacted by saying that the gaffe "hurt all Poles," and said that the Polish government expected more from Washington than mere "regret" over the incident.

The White House says that Mr. Obama "mispoke."

Y'think?!!

Meanwhile, the media- which is usually content to ignore and downplay Mr. Obama's gaffes when they would crow and chortle over those of his predecessor- are trying to defend their man by passing off the Romney campaign's accidental mispelling of 'America' on a phone ap as somehow the equivalent of the President of the United States insulting yet another ally.
Isn't gonna work, guys.
