Polish President Says Cleveland is Like Home


wcpn.org/WCPN/news/37366

I guess we'll be reading all about it sooner or later.

:)

I'm sure you're right although major changes are coming to the way information is processed.

Sure, but I don't think you can change all the people who are going to leak that information.

;)

Nope but hopefully we can send them to jail for decades...

If Cleveland feels like home.. I feel sorry for you. Lol. Jk.. Pretty nice article, Komorowski seems like an affable gent too.

Slavic Village is a ghetto nowadays, i don't know how he could feel at home there

I bet he ignored Chicago because of how Kaczynski was always greeted in chi-town. Its a big FU to the chicago-polonia.

Although it's nice to see cleavland poles getting some exposure and recognition from the polish government.

Well, why should he go somewhere that voted against him?

Or, maybe they didnt pay for him enough to show up??? Its pretty funny how you Brits think you know so much about Chicago from your BBC Media.

That last time you must of have spent days researching anti -Adam Andrzejewski propaganda and then tried to sabotage his campaigning on this forum. Whats in it for a limey like you? Have you ever been to Illinois, or in this case Ohio?

Adam Andrzejewski Is running for Governor of Illinois !!!!

I know, all of Cleveland is a sh.tbox. Don't tell them that though.

Congratulations on a new dumb polock president!

Im surprised he didnt pick Detroit, He must think its still the 1950`s

I wonder why He didnt come to Polands capitol, its only a couple hundred miles away,
He must not be that popular with Poles if he went to Cleveland instead of Chi?

sledz, chicago pollocks with polish citizenship voted for Kaczynski, that's why he decided not to go to chicago

I don't think the President of Poland has to worry about how much it costs to go visit certain towns.


Uh...I use the PKW site to know about who voted for who and where. I suppose it's a liberal conspiracy website, yeah?


There's nothing funnier than making fun of "Polish" Americans who don't speak Polish and who only use it for political purposes.


As you've been told - why should he visit somewhere if they didn't vote for him? The Chicago Polonia are somewhat hostile towards Komorowski and have published plenty of nonsense about him, so why visit? Best to leave them alone.

Is Slavic Village still a thriving urbanly renwed Pol-Am community? It was an old decrepit Polonian quarters which underwent urban renewal in the late 1970s with Podhale-style facades and Polish street festivals. Is this still the case?

slavic village looks like a total shithole in google street view. like mexico or brazil. it's probably because of negroes moving in

Slavic community in Cleveland lives in the suburbian towns around there now. Parma.. places like that.

Hamtramck has only a few Poles left, mostly Middle Easterners nowadays, been there 2 years ago, Detroit looks like s**t. Driving through downtown on the freeway you can loose a wheel on one of the potholes.

It's good that he had a nice time in Cleveland.

Perhaps because it has the largest concentration of Poles in the U.S? Would that be a good reason?

He refused to meet with Polonia but he went to the Holocaust Museum, I suppose to please his wife.

Not a lot in the press about his usual gaffs, this time with Obama. He must be used to being embarassed by now, I know we are.

Cleves feels like home? poland is that big of a $
hith0le, is it? lol

I don't know. He lives rent free here, so you tell me.

He doesn't visit Poznan, Gdansk, Wroclaw or Szczecin regularly, despite it having a large concentration of Poles. In fact, he doesn't even visit the UK or Holland regularly, despite all the Poles living there, too.

It's his choice as President to decide where to visit.


Perhaps because he realised that meeting with a bunch of idiotic, backwards people would be counter productive, particularly as many of them have outdated views concerning "what is Poland"?


Doesn't bother me. He's doing a grand job as President - bringing up issues relevant to the people (visa waiver), not obstructing the Sejm and generally being quite peaceful and inclusive.

Don't you have any artifical gravestones to be praying at?

No, but I would give you an English grammar lesson, if I cared enough.

has anyone been to a nice polish town/neighborhood in the USA? I've never been to chicago, but every polish town i've ever been to in the USA has been run down.

Nope, doesn't look great, does it?

Greenpoint in Brooklyn is pretty nice. :-)

honestly, it's not. most people in greenpoint are quite poor, there's nothing aesthetic about the place (aside from a few historic districts, every town has people with money)....but for what it's worth, I still dig Greenpoint. I had a friend who lived there and loved it. Brooklyn in itself is a pretty fun town but you would never walk through the polish section of Greenpoint and say, "this is a nice town." it's run down looking like every other polish town i've ever been to.

a run-down look of polish neighbourhoods is the fault of polams who decide to work in ****** blue collar jobs instead of having good education and being greedy capitalists

The whole point of his visit is he visited the cultural center and the clinic and said some nice things about it and the community, not the fact that parts of Cleveland are run down. Focus on the positive and not the negative. It is the Christmas season!
