Crowd Greets Romney With Chants Of 'Obama!, Obama!' During Poland Visit
Warsaw (dpa) - US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney met on Monday with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the last stop of a foreign tour aimed to showcase his foreign policy.
The Republican hopeful arrived in Gdansk, northern Poland, for a two-day visit he hopes will attract Polish-American voters. The visit was also aimed at showing Romney would be tougher on Russia than his opponent President Barack Obama, who is running for a second term.
Romney arrived at Gdansk‘s city hall and briefly chatted with locals before meeting with Tusk. A group was heard chanting, "Obama! Obama!" as Romney later made his way to his next meeting with anti-communist icon Lech Walesa, the former leader of Solidarity.

Latest pool report – Gdansk, Poland
Romney left his first meeting and walked down the street to his second, with former Polish President Lech Walesa. Many people still outside. The street is lined with cafes with outdoor tables and umbrellas. We did NOT get a shot of Romney’s walk over, we were held back until he had left.
++We could not see Romney as we were exiting the old town hall, but we do have a little tape of people shouting “Obama! Obama!”

There has been no press access to Governor Romney since we landed in Poland. We (press) are in a holding pattern (I can’t help but feel a bit like the press is a modified petting zoo since we are trapped in a bus while Polish citizens take pictures of us.) Under the headline “Governor Romney won’t like this” we saw a big sign in the crowd for Rep Ron Paul.

Romney Greeted by Ron Paul Supporters – 03:35 p.m. CET (8:35 a.m. EST) - Mitt and Ann Romney were greeted upon arriving for a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk by hundreds of people lining the narrow streets here, some of whom held signs for another U.S. presidential candidate, Ron Paul.
The large sign read “Polish Choice – R. Paul” with a photograph of Paul.

Which is why it is so funny.
Specifically the scene where the general (Carrol O'Conner) was on the way to the town with the bank and to buy time they told the town folk it was de Gaulle coming after "Eisenhower" didn't work.
"Up yours, baby" 
Man I love that movie.
The dim glow of comprehension of the German Tiger tank driver's face, then BOOOOM!!!!

Sorry Mittens.
Thank you, dear Polish people. Just the kind of greeting he should have gotten. 
If Mittwit weren't such an unspeakable asshole I could almost feel sorry for him. But he is, so I can't.
He finally found a country that likes him - he should move there 
No cheering crowds waving Romney signs that I saw . . . not any visible waving at Romney, either. Where are you seeing 'support?'
A Ron Paul Sign was in almost every shot, though:
Rmoney probably wishes he never left the US. 
Mitt Romney's ONLY objective of these trips is to fundraise. That's it! All that other stuff is just window dressing. How he can get away with it is absolutely baffling. The Right Wing and complicit Corporate Media spent years dogging Al Gore for the Tibetan monks...a charge that turned up NOTHING.
Mitt Romney has pretty much admitted that there are fundraisers happening in these three cities that he has visited. The Corporate Media has not excoriated him. It has stood by while Romney continues to buy this election!!! 
when Obama did his world tour I was very nervous how it would work out. I had already decided to vote for him and I was hoping he would make us proud... and he did.
This trip of Romeys is a national embarrassment. Everyday I'm 
because of something he said or did. I hope people wake up and see how this man will act if he is President!
Too many to count.
