Sorry, but Obama is not popular in Poland, therefore Poland is unimportant.

In other words, cbelt, you consider it newsworthy when Romney does NOT eff up. You have a point there.

"In July 2008 Obama traveled to Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, the West Bank, Israel, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. During the course of this trip he met with assorted international leaders, including President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the United Kingdom, as well as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Conservative opposition leader David Cameron.
On July 24, 2008 he gave a speech at the Victory Column in Berlin before a crowd of estimated 200,000 to 240,000 people."
[en.wikipedia.org]
In July 2012 Mitt Romney traveled to the United Kingdom where he insulted his hosts and disclosed a meeting with the head of MI6. He then traveled to Israel where he was accused of racial insults, and collected large checks from wealthy donors. After that he traveled to Poland to pose for photos with a former union organizer and leader of illegal strikes. If he had been in the US, Romney and his ilk would have villainized the same activities. During the trip Romney made no speeches and still managed to damage his credibility on the world stage.
It's almost exactly the same thing.

Look like Romney was understaffed for the trip, but then again this was suppose to be easy with no heavy lifting.
“When Barack Obama traveled overseas as a candidate in 2008, it was an all-hands-on-deck event...By contrast, Romney’s top political advisers stayed home,” Rucker reported. Just how lopsided were the staffs? We dug around for the rosters.
For his trip, Obama got assists from at least 14 top staffers and advisors, many of whom were heavy hitters with serious foreign policy and economic credentials. They included former National Security Advisor Tony Lake; former Deputy National Security Advisor James Steinberg; former White House and State Department official Greg Craig; former assistant Secretary of State Susan Rice; former National Security Council staffer Ivo Daalder; longtime diplomat and State Department official Dennis Ross; former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig; former Under Secretary of Commerce Robert Shapiro; retired Air Force Major General Scott Gration; senior foreign policy advisor Denis McDonough; foreign policy speechwriter Ben Rhodes; chief strategist David Axelrod; communications director Robert Gibbs; and spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
Romney, on the other hand, has only three senior staffers with him for the entire trip: policy director Lanhee Chen; foreign policy aide Alex Wong; and press secretary Andrea Saul."
He also picked up a few stragglers hear and there along the way - more info at link [www.washingtonpost.com]

OK - a correction. It does appear that Romney gave a speech in Poland and praised the Solidarity Movement for their struggles against Communism. Also pointed out how the US should be more like Poland etc...
What could possibly go wrong ? (no - not the cursing aids thing)
Polish Solidarity Distances Itself From Romney Visit
(Reuters) - "Solidarity, the trade union movement which led the Polish struggle against communist rule, distanced itself on Monday from a visit to Poland by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney, saying he supported attacks on unions in his own country."

Trifecta !
