WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Poland's former president and Nobel Peace laureate,
Lech Walesa, said Friday he plans to urge President Barack Obama to take a
more active world leadership role when he visits Poland in June.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Walesa said "the world is disorganized and
the superpower is not taking the lead. I am displeased."
The former Solidarity leader said that when he meets Obama in Warsaw, he
wants to tell him that the U.S. should inspire and encourage the world into
positive action.
"The point is not in having the States fix problems for us or fight
somewhere, no," Walesa said. "The States should organize us, encourage us
and offer programs, while we, the world, should do the rest. This kind of
leadership is needed."
"I will say: Either you want to be a superpower and guide us, or you should
give the superpower to Poland and we will know what to do with it. Amen,"
said Walesa, who is known for sometimes abrasive comments."
Looks like our President is going to get a metaphorical kick in the dupa.
