One of the most famous fighters of Cold War communism still in the land of the living, Polish leader and liberty icon Lech Walesa, is not too keen on the “failure” that is Barack Obama. In fact, Obama has been down right “dangerous” for the world Walesa says.
In a new interview, Walesa decries Obama as having failed to advance peace and freedom across the world with his failed foreign policies.
Welsa lamented that when Obama was elected in 2008 there was “hope in the world” that “Obama would reclaim moral leadership for America,” but Obama “failed.”
Walesa will be forever noted as one of the world’s greatest champions of democracy, liberty, and freedom for being one of the few who faced down the massive, oppressive communists of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
He led the “Solidarity” movement that brought power to oppressed workers in Soviet controlled Poland in the 80s and then went on to become president of that country.
But Walesa doesn’t feel Obama has followed in the footsteps of heros like himself and Ronald Reagan.
“We have to do everything that we can to recreate, to reclaim America’s role, and it seems that Obama would manage that, but he didn’t accomplish that,” Walesa said sadly. “America did not regain its leadership status. We’re just lucky that there were no bigger conflicts in the world, because if it had bigger conflicts, then the world would be helpless.”
Walesa only has the half of it, there. Obama’s failure are far worse than that, as we all know. What do you know?
