    Our Prez just leaves me wordless sometimes but I will try. What a powerful message to ask this group of countries to help the new emerging democracies in the ME. This is not only a signal to their importance in our world but also a faith and trust in their own hard earned wisdom to help the ME find peace and prosperity.

    PBO, Diplomat in Chief!

    Obama to reassure Poland with air base deal

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/27/us-poland-obama-idUSTRE74Q5FW20110527

    (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will reaffirm a U.S. commitment to Poland’s security with a deal to set up an air detachment, the White House said on Friday, meeting a key Polish request for “American boots on the ground.”

    Obama, on his first trip to NATO ally Poland, will also urge leaders from ex-communist central and eastern Europe assembled in Warsaw to share their experiences of managing a democratic transition with reformers in North Africa and the Middle East.

    “We are going to announce tomorrow the conclusion of the agreement to establish an aviation detachment in Poland that will allow for our two air forces to cooperate in training the Poles to utilize the American aircraft that they purchased — F-16s and C-130s,” Liz Sherwood-Randall, a senior White House national security official, said on board Air Force One.

    “What we will be doing is rotating trainers and aircraft to Poland so they can become more inter-operable with NATO,” Sherwood-Randall told reporters.

    “It will be a small permanent presence on the ground and then a rotational presence that will be more substantial.”

    Obama in Poland to boost bilateral ties

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13581043

    After flying in from the G8 summit in France, Mr Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and visited the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial.

    He is also attending a dinner with more than a dozen leaders of central and eastern EU countries.

    Mr Obama will hold talks with Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski on Saturday before returning to the US.

    The BBC’s diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus says the agenda will range from global events like the Arab Spring to Polish energy security.

    However, Mr Obama also has some fence mending to attend to, he adds.

    Normally close relations between Warsaw and Washington were strained after Mr Obama cancelled plans by his predecessor, George W Bush, to site interceptor missiles in Poland.

    This shift was seen in some quarters in Warsaw as an attempt by the new administration to curry favour with Moscow.

    In 1989, Poland became the first country in the Soviet bloc to shed communism in a peaceful transition negotiated by the Solidarity opposition movement, led by Lech Walesa.

    Mr Obama has said that the experience of countries once behind the Iron Curtain could help Arab nations struggling for democracy.

      Where on earth does POTUS get the energy? He’s working mighty hard to build foreign relation creds. Good job, Mr. President. Then he’ll be traveling to Joplin , MO. on Sunday. I know the residents will be open to seeing him, and he’ll provide them some comfort and reassurance.
